Let me guess, the full filename was actually something like "Bitch-this-is-your-thesis-v3-final-5-for-print.Sep-2025.doc'.

It's only a matter of time before someone tells the guy in Cambodia that he can earn $1.60/hr by sharing everything the robot sees in your house with people who can put that information to use. If I were him, I would take it.

Not as such. But some of them may have accessed the crates in the back of the truck, which were full of aerosol cans filled with the Z-virus in handy, sprayable form, which were being carried in a truck full of monkeys for extremely scientific reasons that I don't intend to discuss at this time.

It’s the democratization of sycophancy. A level of obsequious, unthinking validation previously available only to kings and billionaires can now be yours for the low, low price of just $24.95 a month.

Surprise anthology release today!
Scott's planet is a shared world anthology about a colony abandoned on a world still in its Carboniferous period. That means giant bugs, no real trees, and a lot of wacky biology to play with.

💙📚🪐 #bugsky #scifi #anthology

Cover of Scott's Planet edited by Jared Kavanagh and Bob Brown, of b-cubed press. Two figures stand on an alien beach walking towards a massive stone arch in the distance against a blue gray sky.

Someone at New York’s “No Kings” rally was holding a sign that read “No Kings, including Zohran Mamdani. Cuomo 2026.”

And I can’t even begin to make sense of that one.

Never mind the headline, you had me at "Butterdome".

The bookseller was probably scared to tell you the truth in case the ducks were listening.

Spoiler: the ducks are ALWAYS listening.

The original marketing line, "P-p-p-ick up a Penguin" has also been abandoned, with the new non-chocolate Penguin biscuits being advertised with the slogan "F-f-f-fuck up a Penguin."

"Asking for a friend," right?

I imagine the "zombie pathogen", whatever it is, as being something like rabies. Eating a rabid animal would be a VERY bad idea.

If you have plans for a "Big Book of Zombie Recipes", I think it's a nonstarter. Vampires and werewolves are probably off the menu too.

Alan Garner is 91 today. A brilliant and unique author. His books have inspired and enchanted me since I read The Weirdstone of Brisingamen at the age of 11. Here is my treasured copy of Red Shift. The Le Guin quote on the cover is wholly accurate.
