I wanna launch the THOUSAND YEAR BODY. Keep my brain alive for a millenium while I tirelessly craft the perfect bioplastic turbo-mech to stride like a cosmic colossus across the stars.

Also, Nina Hartley is an incredibly cool person who tells the BEST stories. If she comes to your town, go see her!

In February 1777, General George Washington ordered the first mass immunization campaign in American history by mandating that his troops be inoculated against smallpox. He protected the Continental Army from an epidemic that was deadlier than British forces.

A hardcover book on a setee. The cover is shades of blue and has imprinted fish scales on it. It says ‘Ben Aaronovitch’ and ‘Stone &Sky’.

I finished the latest novel by @benaaronovitch.bsky.social and enjoyed it a lot. The dual storytelling was good and I liked the expansion of the universe *but* I wouldn’t have minded a bit more Nightingale. I know it’s difficult because he’s such a
min-maxer but still… Perhaps in the next one. 🙂🤞

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 926: Avoid long descriptions of your characters. No one really cares what the shape of their nose is, or what their jumper is made of, especially when that’s the first thing your readers are learning about them…

Wow!

If you think Palantir are alright, you need your head checked!

Isn't market rigging a crime? Do you need any more evidence that #Amazon is costing you more, not less? That it's funnelling your money into the Bezos wallet?

Sorry, Ed, but the Mandelson scandal was caused by an irrationally indulgent Labour establishment that knew what he was like and still kept giving him enough rope to hang them.

My parents, both WWII veterans, lived and died with chronic illness because of the addiction they were sold. Tobacco is the opium of the masses.

Japanese anime and film giant Toei enters game business with new Toei Games label  - AUTOMATON WEST Toei Games will initially focus on the PC (Steam) market and developing original IPs, rather than adapting Toei's famous franchises.

Of the people I’ve met recently who, upon learning I make children’s books, have then suggested I should use A.I. to do it, all of them have turned out to be right wing in their opinions. Marches, flags, roundabouts type right wing. I don’t know if there’s a correlation. But there is.

And Alfie Moon’s Nan (can’t remember her name! 😅) calling him Foxy.🙂

The tank episode is excellent! 😁

On the one hand, interesting idea. On the other hand, not at all sure about this. Japan has successfully exported huge quantities of content made without regard to foreign markets; difference is why it worked. What do you think?

John Roberts' wife is not the only Supreme Court spouse to shake down people with business before the court to give bribes. Ginni Thomas has a "consulting firm" (AKA a PO Box for checks) to funnel money to Clarence. #Corruption
