Piranesi.

In the US, it’d have to be French toast. The other two are considered dessert where I was raised.

This. I switched to Apple Music a few years ago and never looked back. There’s a free tool to transfer all your playlists etc to Apple Music. Pricing/quality/library are all similar. It is SO EASY to stop using Spotify. I’m always surprised when people I like still use it. (Tidal is great too.)

I am pleased to report that I can now, after a few dozen times, listen to the song “Los Angeles” by Big Thief without choking up.

sad about future

🎶 Schrodinger
He's the man
The man whose cat may be dead
Or alive instead

Such a humdinger
Forces you to enter a quantum flux
of what the fux 🎶

(new lyrics to the Goldfinger theme just dropped)

Seconded. Simply excellent story, got me sort of emotional for its unexpected hopefulness. You should read it.

Still so annoyed Dorfromantik recently released versions for every single console on Earth but didn’t bother with a Mac version.

Half a World Away.

This seems important:

I cannot even begin to tell you how good this novel is.

Sold! Looks interesting.

DAY 41 of photoshopping Chucky into another move until I forget...

Last and First Men by Olaf Stapledon.

Gosh, if only some world builders were, in fact, paying limited or more expansive attention to agriculture, material culture, ordinary life & how magic and the larger social structure helps or harms the ordinary people of the world, or how difficult & deadly much of the past was for so many.

Congrats! Can’t wait to read it.

Oh very well: 5 UK/IE Kindle copies of @wiswell.bsky.social's SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN, which I have but need to move up higher in the Want To Read list. You MUST have an amazon.co.uk Kindle account to claim one!

Hi! I'm the book content editor for Reactor Mag and I'm looking for 2026 sci-fi, fantasy, horror, and crossover speculative books! If you've got an adult or YA SFFH book publishing next year please share the link/info here!

Meme of a woman driving in a car saying "Thanks for not saying formerly Tor.com when recommending Reactor Magazine. I know that took a lot of restraint."

Holy fuck.

Tumblr pointed me to this Murderbot fic.

It's about multiple SecUnits trying to keep their humans safe.

YOU READ IT BY PLAYING MINESWEEPER.

IT'S A GAME OF MINESWEEPER THAT'S A MURDERBOT FIC.

The cover of Kae Tempest’s album Self Titled, showing a black and white image of the back of someone’s (probably Kae) head, with short buzz cut hair. Also you should listen to this album.

Listening to Self Titled by Kae Tempest for the first time and honestly just blown away. It’s urgent and driven and it packs a punch that hits even harder because of the moment we’re in.
