I liked the episode where Face is showing off to Hannibal a country club he scammed provisional membership into, only to find out Murdock was a regular guest, signed in by one of his psychiatrists.

Ultima Online was my mmorpg. It launched in ‘97 and is still running. I played 2000-2004, then 2005-2009 on and off. Th roleplay guild I joined in 2005 on Europa shard had a comeback in 2018 when the game went free to play. I’ve characters almost 25 years old…

I remember my grandparents had a black & white TV that had a dial you had to turn to tune in other channels.

This!
I don’t read kindle much, but when I do it’s on my phone, usually when travelling.
It’s also great for reviewing novels I’m working on when on later drafts

Or one cluld be a true masochist a mnd attempt to watch the whole of Who - spinoffs included - in chronological order.
Which gets murky in the future episodes because many just aren’t dated.

Bottom-right of the app, where the account management used to be. So I often open the AI by accident…

Your parents had seatbelts??
My grandparents didn’t have seatbelts in the rear of the car until I was about 10. We just sat there. They also smoked like chimneys in thr car and house, despite me being asthmatic.

Even Amazon has decided it needs to give its customers an AI assistant, called Rufus :<

Congrats!

Congratulations!

Just … wow.

My “favourite” was a male post-doc telling Dr Jessica McCarty that she didn’t understand the human drivers of fire, and that she should read McCarty et al.
She responded that she was McCarty et al.

The cover of Retrovival, designed by Tenebrae. Blood red background with the faint image of a centurion’s head in a plumed helmet, overlaid with a fainter outline of the plan of an amphitheatre, and on top of that a clock face with Roman numerals. The title Retrovival incorporates two arrows, one rising from the letter t and the other descending from the letter l.

Out today, from Douglas Thompson. Retrovival. Near future, independent Scotland under a far-right populist government driven by anti-English sentiment. A scientific breakthrough, accidental resurrection of a Roman centurion preserved in a bog for almost 2000 years.

Love those books. The three standalones separating the first snd second trilogies are stronger imho than the first trilogy

I’d ask her to go back in speak to manager. They can order any book!
If it was me, I’d go to thr coubter with a few other books I was after, and if they still refuse, tell them that’s fine, I’ll orser it (and the books I was about to buy) from Amazon…

I’m waiting to see if a Ketamine-addled Musk claims he hacked the election servers to make Trump win…

Homeworld: Worlds Apart 3 by Terry Jackman. Cover art courtesy of NASA and Space Fabricator. A colourful nebula in the background with stars visible behind and a dark planet in front, with some lit areas on the surface looking like the lights of settlements.

Out today in eBook edition.

Heroes and saviours are not always where you expect
While this story can be read as a standalone it is also another glimpse into the ‘lost’ history of human evolution in the Worlds Apart collective.

Looking forward to it!

I try and do an outline broken down by chapter. Might just be a couple of sentences for some chapters, or half a page for others if I want to make sure I don’t forget what I want to happen.
But I usually start writing before I’ve finished that plan, and it is subject to change

In Scotland, certainly, in exams we were always told to shkw out workingn, as we would get points for it even if the answer was wrong. This was back in thr 90’s so no idea if still the case

Still to watch it, trying to dodge spoilers
