That describes my brain rather well today.

Stampede?

The glacial pace I keep at this account is really just my way of shielding you all from the host of weird thoughts shredding my brain at warp speed.

Like, what's the collective noun of weird thoughts? Is it host? Do we go with conflux, or maybe paella?

2005 seems contemporary to me. I'm in denial, mind you.

Headline on Hollywood Reporter that reads ”Paddington 4, Escape From New York' Reboot in the Works”

I misread the headline as one movie and got very excited for a moment…

I dreamt the perfect story. Five separate plotlines that snapped together like magnets at the very end. Wow, surprise, resolution for every character!

Then I woke up, and all I remember is that one of the plots involved catering.

Hey so my third book came out this week, but I'm recovering from major hand surgery (bone extraction) so my ability to promotion online is severely hindered.

If you all can help spread the word about my feral space opera trilogy, I'll love you forever.

Two major themes in my Bsky stream today. Artemis gladness and genocidal madness.

Consider:

'A whole civilization will die tonight'.

vs.

'If you cross the Halys River, a great empire will fall.'

Cribbed from my friend, @aahabershaw.bsky.social:

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only.

A full disc image of Earth, as seen from the Orion Crew Module. The planet is a pale blue, swirling with white clouds and glowing slightly lighter blue in place from reflected light. At lower left, a large brown landmass is Africa, with Spain and Portugal with twinkling lights where the planet curves. At top right, auroras glow in a thin green glow, just barely separated from the planet's surface. Earth is set against the black of space (pic: NASA/R.Wiseman)

More context on this #Artemis II image:

* This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right

* The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon:

These are the last few days to vote for the Hugos and my weirdo novelette about frienship, queerness and books is eligible. I'd be honored if you considered it for your ballot. ❤️

Now, whenever I see videos of animals doing cool things in the wild, I have to wonder if it's real or ai. Are those real wildebeests or is it all fake gnus?
