On gender
“Cis dude talks about gender” alert. I’ve been thinking a lot about gender recently. I mean a lot. This is not a coming out post. I’m still a straight cis dude. But the more…

I know the people who run this. It is a tiny organisation but has taken some massive stands. Was the first Pride in the UK to ban politicians and is always the first out with strong statements supporting trans people.
I know things are tight but please help support them if you can.

Dug a little bit into who did the de-aging effects in that Jurassic Park ad.
A Superbowl advert for tech firm Xfinity digitally de-ages the cast of Jurassic Park with, er, mixed results. Here's who made its VFX:

Xfinity's Jurassic Park advert is a digital de-aging nightmare. So who made it?

Observing the start of a carefully calculated rehabilitation campaign, I note mention of a nearly finished new book. I wonder who in publishing is now watching responses to gauge likely profits from unswerving fans versus costly outrage from the wider SF&F community. Doubtless time will reveal all.

Wow, I just found out my drawing "Destruction of Troy" is nominated for an artwork award by BSFA.
But @bsfa.bsky.social I hope you know, I finished that drawing in I think 2016, 10 years ago! Are you sure it's eligible?
Anyway, if it is eligible (but I doubt it is?), this is the artwork, thanks!

Any film that opens with a starship quietly cruising past the camera while the crew make reports, ideally with a caption telling me where they are, has automatically got my attention. (This is secretly why I like submarine movies.) #StarTrek

I dimly, very dimly, remember this from the cinema.
Now watching: ‘Black Angel’, dir. Roger Christian, 1980. A medieval horror fantasy originally shown before screenings of ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ in UK cinemas. Also part of the latest BFI Short Sharp Shocks set. 🎬🎥

I am just learning, very late in the day, of the death last August of Ina Rae Hark. Ina mentored me through my first attempts at writing, and I would not have a writing career with her kindness, generosity, intelligence, and care. I'm heartbroken.

ALT TEXT: Line art in which woolly mammoths walk the horizon line between meadow flowers and tall piled clouds. The clouds and flowers are unshaded outlines. The only things with weight are the dark shapes of the mammoths, and two swallows swooping low in the foreground.

The emblem of the House of Kraag appears in several places in #StarfleetAcademy's "Vox in Excelso". It's seen on Drekol's chest ⬆️ and as pins ⬇️. A closer look of the pin (2nd pic ↖️) shows its similarities to the Klingon emblem worn by (season 1) Worf ↗️, Kor ↙️ and Kang ↘️.

There's an astonishing cruelty in trying to make the world even more hostile for trans kids by suing schools that want to include them. But that's where 'gender critical' Britain is.
We're acting for a school that is being sued - and we could really use your help with funding.

Most people don't realize the truly staggering rate of improvement of renewable technologies - the pace has been *insane* and costs have fallen through the floor.
Ireland has dismantled its first commercial wind farm to make way for a step-change in scale. Each new turbine generates more power than the entire 1992 Bellacorick site, illustrating how 3 decades of innovation have compressed land use while multiplying output. buff.ly/goiabIO
