Life imitating art imitating life, turned up to 11.

Been in a bit of a reading slump but once again Stanislaw Lem and Ijon Tichy zapped me out of it. #SF #ScienceFiction

True. It’s a force to be reckoned with.

Bated breath here. Sci-fi & Cheese? Yes please.

Tragically underappreciated.

Post your favorite Dr. Who. Wrong answers only.

My favorite Floyds: Animals, The Final Cut, Meddle- in more or less that order. Obscured by Clouds & Atom Heart Mother also in the mix.

Every so I check to see if Iain Banks’ Excession or Inversions are available for e-reader so I can complete the Culture saga and today I am again disappointed. Guess I’ll have to reread the others. #booksky

AM work soundtrack. #VinylSky

Overall, I prefer “Hey, here’s an extra hour of sleep” day to “YOU ARE ONE HOUR CLOSER TO DEATH MUHAHAHA” day.

Goddamn, the new Jason Isbell album is exquisite.

Indeed. That one packs a punch.

The idea of being powerless in the face of irrational demands from a powerful, amoral entity really resonates lately.

Apropos of nothing, but the story source of “sent to the cornfield” is the most terrifying I’ve ever read, and I’m something of a horror connoisseur. Bixby’s “It’s a Good Life” gnaws at my (sub?)consciousness every day.

Saturday AM groove with the most no-nonsensingly titled album ever. @vinyl.bsky.social @bluegrassmusic.bsky.social

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.

Them little-leaguers are delicious.

So I assume a new executive order will be dropping re: Cowboy Carter and Jimmy Carter.

Another date tonight with DBT @drivebytruckers.bsky.social , America’s greatest rock band. Long may they reign.

GAN, underdog contender: DosPassos’ USA. Huck Finn, Grapes of Wrath also in the mix but I will always be loyal to Moby Dick.

I apologize. I’ve never been impersonated, it must be enormously frustrating. I’m sorry that you have to deal with this.

Kidding. I just reeeeeaaaalllllly want to read more Teixcalaan.

I wish I had known this before sending all that dough to the “help me finish Teixcalaan 3” fundme thing.

After decades of listening to cassettes, CDs, vinyl represses, I FINALLY own an OG Black Sabbath! This LP is older than I am, yet considerably cooler. @vinyl.bsky.social #VinylSky

I recently reread this, and its magic is still powerful. I love it immoderately.

I loved her Wayfarers novels. Hoping for a similar vibe.

Gonna treat my reading hangover from reread of DosPassos’ USA with a first look at Becky Chambers’ A Psalm for the Wild Built. #booksky
