Thank you Olav Rokne for your service on the #SidewiseAward jury. "The Gold Standard of What If" beautifully articulates what I so love about the genre.

"[Alternate history is] a playground in which authors can muse about the degree to which chance or determinism play in constructing our world."

It's the 40th anniversary of the classic @schwarzenegger.bsky.social movie #Commando. 70% of the best Schwarzenegger one-liners came from this film. My personal favourite: "Don't disturb my friend, he's dead tired."

Yes indeed, and that @arstechnica.com article by Lee Hutchinson was one of my sources. My story was "A Sky and a Heaven" and it shared the 2023 Sidewise Award for Best Short Form Alternate History with "A Dream of Electric Mothers" by @wtalabi.bsky.social.

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

I'm at a restaurant where they're showing Bob Ross painting videos instead of news or sports and I think it's great.
