Just happened on a marvellous turn of phrase in Ken MacLeod's (@amendlocke.bsky.social) short story "The Vorkuta Event".

The once-adventurous and vigorous paleontologist, now an aged emeritus professor, is "more Quatermass than Quatermain". 💯
I'll cherish that!

Counter-opinion: it’s a f***ing tragedy that corporate greed has broken the medium which facilitated Tahrir Square etc and is now doing its best to break the rest of the Internet.

Cover art shows a lethal, pale-scaled serpent-dragon or wyrm lurking in woodland. It looks straight at you as its forked tongue flickers between open, sharp-toothed jaws. Cover copy reads: THE GREEN MAN’S WAR For a few years now, the Green Man has sent Daniel Mackmain to resolve clashes between ordinary people and the supernatural world. Dan has found allies among folk from myth and met other humans who can see the uncanny. He has also made dangerous enemies. Someone has decided to put a stop to this interference once and for all. Dan and his friends are about to find themselves in the firing line.

Good news! The Green Man's War is a Kindle ebook deal for October. You can get fully caught up with Dan Mackmain's adventures before The Green Man's Holiday is published on 30th October.

Granite plaque with black writing that reads 'Charles Darwin, 1809-1882, arrived at Falmouth aboard the Beagle on 2nd October 1836 and departed on the Royal Mail coach from this site'.

Charles Darwin returned from his voyage on the Beagle #OnThisDay in AD 1836. His experiences on this trip influenced a book he wrote 23 years later. It was kind of a big deal.
