Jupiter and Saturn are gone, and a mysterious force has built a huge habitable sphere from their ashes. When criminals try to hide on this new frontier, bounty hunters like Copernicus Brown and his sentient ship Jitterbug get paid to hunt them down - Coming 03/03/2026 from @titanbooks.bsky.social
The cover of JITTERBUG features a stylised rocket silhouette at the centre of an orrery, with a space suited figure dangling in its wake

The Ten Forward pyramid (the Pair Match game, made by Bandai ↗️) has always fascinated me. Here it is seen in "Elementary, Dear Data"↖️, "The Ensigns of Command"⬅️, "Family"➡️, "Identity Crisis"↙️ and "Half a Life"↘️.

Disagree: we've been in a propaganda war with Russia since 1903 or earlier! That's when the Tsarist bureaucracy began pushing "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" as part of a nation-building propaganda process (going back to the Partition of Poland in the late 18th century).

This shit is OLD.

I will keep saying this until I am blue in the face; we have been in a disinfo/propaganda war with Russia since 2014, & it's one of the few things their military is genuinely excellent at, & we're fucking LOSING

Farage, Trump, Brexit, Transphobia, the rise of the far right - they're pushing it all

The look of someone who isn’t stepping one hoof outside of the refuge boundaries from October through November 😅
A large black-tailed deer buck turns around and looks toward the camera. He has a reasonably impressive six point rack, and his face exudes an aura of annoyance with having been disturbed.

Space opera is the background radiation of science fiction. It's always there, crackling away.

What a fascinating concept! Quantum themes are so rich in scifi. "The Quantum Thief" by Hannu Rajaniemi explores this beautifully. What's your favorite quantum-related story? 🪐📚 #Scifi #Quantum

Thatcher's government did this with Section 28, banned the "promotion of homosexuality" as a danger to children, while actively protecting Jimmy Savile and who knows how many other pedophiles. It's the same damn playbook.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

I remember the last landlord I ever had, back in the Pleistocene.

I packed my stuff up and this was the key handover day.
We finished the inspection and I gave him the key.
Then he said, with a straight face, "I suppose you'll be wanting your security deposit back.", subtext being, "Or not."

Auctioneer: “Chinese 19th century cricket cage”

Me: “…you know what? all right, sure, I guess putting a cricket in there is how you made it vibrate before batteries”
A wooden item—supposedly a cricket cage—shaped suspiciously like a butt plug. Which I guess putting a cricket in there is one way to create vibrations before, y’know, batteries. Bruh that cricket has SEEN things.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.
As a Black Hawk helicopter roared overhead, the slender, 28-year-old immigrant from Venezuela answered softly, his eyes darting to a television crew invited to film the raid. Next to Caicedo, masked Border Patrol agents inspected another man’s tattoos and asked him if he belonged to Tren de Aragua, the Venezuelan gang that the Trump administration has designated a terrorist group. Until that moment, Caicedo’s only interaction with law enforcement in his two-and-a-half years in the United States had been a traffic stop two weeks earlier for driving without a license or insurance, according to the records we reviewed. Chicago police had run a background check on him and found no prior arrests, no warrants and no evidence that he was in a gang. Caicedo said he had a pending asylum application, a steady job at a taco joint and a girlfriend whose daughter attended elementary school across the street. None of that mattered. The U.S. government paraded him and his neighbors in front of the cameras and called their arrests a spectacular victory against terrorism. But later, after the cameras had gone, prosecutors didn’t charge Caicedo with a crime. They didn’t accuse him of being a terrorist. And after a brief hearing in immigration court, the government sent him back to the country he had fled nine years earlier. “I lost everything,” he said in a phone interview from his mother’s home in the Venezuelan city of Valencia. “For those fools, everyone from Venezuela is a criminal.”
