Gideon Marcus (he/him)

My wife made one during Bush II that says, in Japanese:

"I sincerely apologize that my President is an asshole. I didn't vote for him."

I remember a fellow in an elevator glanced at it, did a double-take, and guffawed.

90% of Sturgeon Moons are crap...

These days, no one would blink twice at the face tattooing...

When we next broadcast Star Trek, I'll send you an invitation. It's the original... with commercials and fanzine readings! :) The proper experience.

Ahh... do they have the weird HD version with the "updated" special effects?

Where did you catch the episode, by the way?

[March 14, 1968] Bugs in the machine (Star Trek: "The Ultimate Computer") - Galactic Journey The MT Soul by Joe Reid Brothers and sisters, I am quite simply over the moon.  I feel rewarded and fulfilled due to what I just witnessed.  Above all else, I feel something that I haven’t felt in a w...

In many ways, M-5 was the opposite of an AI. Its problem is that it had a personality and independent thought...transplanted from an erratic creator:

And yes, the power source for Europan life has to come from somewhere—either below or above!

Sadly, it is not open to the public (though I usually sneak my friend Francois in)

BUT my classes at CSUSM are open to the public for seniors 55+ through the OSHER program!

Europa is the subject of my talk at Carlsbad By the Sea on the 25th!

James, would widespread adoption of fusion power on Earth cause an appreciable rise of global temperature?

I wonder if bringing extra signs, and having a sign with a call to action ("Honk if you..." on one side, and "Join me if...") might grow your group.

Was this an organized event, or just something you wanted to do this morning?

Break a leg!

I hate this idea.

And while gerrymanders suck, on the other hand, they're brittle. If we can make a wave, they're easy to flood. That's the way to fight gerrymanders, not to make more egregious gerrymanders.

The Fall of Rome Strategic solitaire wargame where you try to hold off the Barbarian invasion of Rome.

Ah. Now we're in "Fall of Rome" territory...

Ah, I see SPI wrote your rules as well. Is there errata? ;)

Is it kosher to say "my series"? :)

I got a review recently that said #TheKitraSaga would make a great TV/Movie adaptation...

I JUST DREW ON THE WRONG LAYER IN REAL LIFE. 😭

My favorite? Rosel George Brown is my reflexive answer, but Katherine MacLean, Miriam Allen deFord, Idris Seabright/Margaret St. Clair, Evelyn E. Smith, Kit Reed, Zenna Henderson, Carol Emshwiller, Pam Zoline, Madeleine L'Engle, and Andre Norton are also competitors. :) #WomenInSciFi

For many many MANY reasons, I shall not. :)

Did you know that the history of women in science fiction goes straight from Mary Shelley to Ursula K. LeGuin to Octavia Butler?

Are there even any other women who wrote science fiction before 1980?

For me, it was that the majority of published Star Trek novels/short stories was by women.

It's you! Break a leg. :)

My books are cheap. :)

That is one of the concepts I "borrowed" :)

I am working on making a show out of my series, which is directly inspired by Traveller. You would like it.
