Just finished reading my first novel by Ursula K LeGuin and it was amazing. The Lathe of Heaven is trippy and didn’t go where I’d even imagined. I’m actually a bit disappointed that no one has ever recommended this or any of her other books to me. I won’t be keeping this author to myself.

I have a number of questions about Captain Ake and I suppose Holly Hunter as well.
Is the bare feet a character thing or a Holly thing?
Is it a foot fetish thing from the writers room?
Will we see her in those toe shoes at some point?
What are those things she wears on the tops of her feet?

If I ever start to shit post about anything and everything in media that I consume I hope somebody checks me on it. Just because I don’t like something doesn’t mean it sucks and just because I love something doesn’t mean it’s the best thing ever. No need to put down something that others love.

What’s happening in Minneapolis right now looks like it could be the prequel the ‘The Handmaids Tale’. These monsters watched that show as a playbook, not the warning that it is.

Loving Holly Hunter as the lead of the new ST: Starfleet Academy, she’s quirky and funny, very much her own person that feels like she’s lived the centuries that’s been established. Also love that she sits how she wants in her command chair goes around barefoot at times.

@megardener.bsky.social easiest follow back I’ve ever done. Avid scifi reader, Andor quote and a meme of a book quote I’ve got on my list to read.

Of the 26 books I read last year there wasn’t one I didn’t enjoy. My top favorites though, in order are:
Project Hail Mary
Flowers for Algernon
Klara and the Sun
Downward to the Earth
The Murderbot Diaries (this is a cheat, loved the entire series)
Make It So (audiobook read by Patrick Stewart)

It’s not because it’s fruit cake that I won’t be eating this free holiday treat left in the lobby, it’s because #Pluribus has forever changed my relationship with “free” food.

Can’t hype up Pluribus enough, each new episode is a masterwork. Truly some amazing talent on display here. Rhea Seehorn is incredible and her equally defiant southern neighbor is the most wonderfully stubborn character I’ve ever seen. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

@devindra.bsky.social getting close to the end of The Good Fight season 6 and it’s batshit crazy and seemingly prophetic and scary as shit. And I mean batshit crazy in the best way possible. Thanks again for the repeated recommendations to watch it on The Filmcast.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life?

Soon we’ll learn that the orange clown bought a shit ton of Advil shares before making these statements about Tylenol. Maybe the profits of those illegal trading practices will cover some of the lawsuits.

@ericheisserer.bsky.social I’m not sure if you check this account any longer but I wanted to say how much more I appreciate your screenplay of ‘Arrival’ having just read the short story it was based on. Both are beautiful stories, yours adding the stakes to have made it more of a grander story.

I’ve managed to read many books this year, more than I’ve read in the past ten years collectively. ‘Klara and the Sun’ was very affecting and will be on a very short list of books that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. Beautiful in it’s melancholy and sadness, i couldn’t put it down.

@devindra.bsky.social I finally checked out ‘The Good Fight’ based on your thankfully frequent recommendation. As good as the Good Wife, at least in the first season. Thanks!

I’ve never wished for something to be true more than this and that is a sad state that this world has left us to be in, now if all the other evil would hurry up and do the same.

So many YouTube videos about a certain someone’s impending demise and I’m just like, “stop teasing us, just let us know when it’s done.”

One of my favorite (and most common) novel structures?
Multiple storylines. When done well, it's SO good.
But it's also SO easy to get wrong.
