Had a coffee-fuelled lunch with my publisher and now I am all the excite. The world might be burning but we'll figure out how to make things here in South Africa awesome for science fiction and fantasy fiction.

In 2010 I conducted and wrote a comprehensive interview with Joe Vaz about Something Wicked for Books Live. I had to dig through archive.org to find it because that whole incredible site is web history now: web.archive.org/web/20160528...

My family are FROM South Africa, #CapeTown - descendant from the 1st People's, and settlers who have lived in the same geographic 20-miles radius for 250 years or so.... One: What the fuck is a Spatlo? Two: What about the Gatsby @cnn.com @cnnipr.bsky.social ? #Eish edition.cnn.com/travel/best-...

Oh man, South Africa has lost a horror actor legend and a kind, warm, funny human. You've left a hole in the universe, Joe Vaz, thank you for 20 years of friendship and bringing all of who you are to every batshit role you were in from Dredd to Fried Barry, making it richer and deeper and Joe-ier. 💔

I do believe that the more third party content #WoTC adds to @dndbeyond.com, the less likely a la carte purchases will return. 😔 #dnd

So too many movies from the US have led to this dribbling out my head. The Posse Comitatus Act is a US federal law which limits the powers of the federal government in the use of federal military personnel to enforce domestic policies within the United States except where authorized by Congress

Every morning I start my day with a small sip of disappointment looking at my Amazon report. This morning, I'm so happy someone picked up a copy of Inkarna. If ancient Egyptian reincarnation cults running around Cape Town's alternative scene are your thing, this one might tickle your curlies.

So I'm calling it, because it means nothing really - in the harsh light of day, opinions & thoughts are shouts into an ravenous abyss that feasts on word counts. ... Anyway. Doom in Avengers: Doomsday is from a universe where he lost Morgan & Pepper when he used the Infinity Stones. #MCU

Everyone should read this. It's easy to see why people love Chatgpt - it's clearly programmed to give responses that trigger the human response to flattery so they will keep interacting. Only everything it says is worthless because it has zero understanding open.substack.com/pub/amandagu...

As a journalist I always have to sit awkwardly close. I've had to develop a mental Zen mode to deal with it.
