Prime material for a weird sci-fi story!

There are no expansive, glowing eyes in this Hubble image. This “face” is the result of two galaxies that collided head-on and have begun to intertwine. They will merge completely in 1-2 billion years. For now, they make up a ring galaxy, a rare classification. Credit: NASA/ESA 🔭 🧪 🎃

Galaxy merger that resembles a face with large, glowing yellow eyes. At the center are two bright white, fuzzy ovals that appear side by side. These white ovals are the cores of the galaxies. The right galaxy’s core has a brown ring of dust and gas around it and appears fully face-on. The left galaxy is appears at a slight angle, but is mainly face-on. Together, they appear to make up the “eyes” of the “face.” Outside this core are lanes of blue gas and dust, which take the shape of a rough oval, and are about as large as a head when compared to the size and appearance of the galaxies. Strewn throughout the image are many fuzzy streaks and dots, which are galaxies and stars respectively.

It's wild how PP and his followers seem to think he would somehow being doing any better with 🍊.

Sci-fi readers! How do you feel about shorter books? Sometimes a novella hits just right, like Martha Wells' All Systems Red or Becky Chambers' To Be Taught If Fortunate. I'm releasing my debut sci-fi novella soon and would love to hear what people are into.

So what are we reading today? I just finished Adrian Tchaikovsky's Children of Time, and now I'm nicely into my re-read of The Hedge Knight by Mr. GRRM. Really looking forward to the adaptation!

What a great quote...

"May be"... classic conservative soundbyte vagaries. Specifically made to appeal to those without critical thinking skills.

Doubt it.

Would you guys ever consider looking at a straight-up fantasy novel?

I never went to a Disney park as a kid and absolutely never will. As a musician who has played a lot of smaller festivals, you're absolutely right. Community and real creativity are so much more valuable for a child to experience than rampant consumerism and enormous crowds.

It's what capitalism incentivises unfortunately.

These days it really feels like the red scare is the most prominent it has been since the 1950s. Most people who say communism is bad can't even define it when asked.

In mentioning and lionizing the asshole, they are telling people of colour, Jews, Muslims, people on the LGBTQ2S spectrum, and cis-gendered women that they are not safe, and this is the highest level of our government. Fuck every single one of these people who didn't immediately walk out in protest.

Im a little way into it right now and I love it. Very curious where the story is going.

Also, I haven't read book 2, so please no spoilers for that.

I'd love to hear some thoughts on The Name of the Wind. I just finished reading it and feel a bit mixed. I liked it a lot, but there were some plot conveniences, one in particular, that took me out of it. I won't post spoilers, but I'm curious what others think.

PP is awful, but the cons did so extremely well in the federal election in April. They didn't win, but they made huge gains. It just makes me wonder when I see numbers like this. I feel like more of us voted for this loser than we realize.

Dan Krawchuk @dankwriter.bsky.social · Aug 23

Enjoy! We appreciate the vital work you do!

Dan Krawchuk @dankwriter.bsky.social · Aug 19

It's hilarious to see conservative losers treating this like some big achievement. They have such a low bar.
