Iβm a geologist in a film. I shout out increasing Richter magnitudes as an earthquake hits. I also say βthat shouldnβt be possibleβ a lot.

My #SPSFC review for the Peripheral Prospectors for Heather Texle's On Impulse.
davedobsonbooks.com/spsfc4-final...
Nice con moment - nationally famous author meets a clearly neurospicy woman dressed in magnificent sci-fi bridge officer cosplay and treats her with utmost kindness while signing her books and offering to take pictures with her. Just a sudden, moving little scene of fans and creators. Neat.

Transcript of the Lonely Island podcast starting at 16:00
The Lonely Island podcast imagines audiences delighted at a Snood movie. I love that my game is still culturally relevant (if only barely).
10.07.2025 05:34 β π 5 π 1 π¬ 1 π 0Review for Daros: 5 stars Absolutely amazing! A lucky human girl plunged into a mess she didn't ask for. A fascinating alien who rises above her race to take on an extreme challenge. An alien AI who learns to break protocols and behave in an ever-so-slightly human manner. Dry humor here and there to lighten things up. Heroism, tears, growth, bonding. All of that wrapped up in semi-hard science fiction with social underpinnings. Really funny at times.
Yay! π

I got my trophy for winning the #SPSFC last year with Kenai, and I completed work on the display stand today. Very cool! Some time this month in the finals, I'll be reading this year's winner (although I won't know it yet). All hail the ray gun! π

Gus, you suck.
