TIL that WorldCon is in Seattle next year. Been decades since I did a sci-fi convention. Might have to attend this one.

I wonder if there was ever an especially snobby hipster ancient Grecian who was like, "Psshh, The Odyssey is overrated, Homer's just ripping off Gilgamesh. Oh, I learned it on a trade route, you've never heard of it (Because the Sumerians are long dead)."

IF you like Pacific Rim… and you live in LA… I urge you- wholeheartedly to run to the Academy Museum this 29th and watch it in 3D!!! We spent hundreds upon hundreds of days post converting this film to 3D and its a massive experience- in what may be one of the best film theaters - top!

Since it seems like there's a small but dedicated #bluegrass contingent here I want to go ahead and link to the Bluegrass Archive since it's still not well known. It is a legal live recording download (not streaming) site with thousands of live shows in lossless audio (flac) bluegrassarchive.com

So, @gailsimone.bsky.social , I've been wondering - does the Frazetta Law of Inverse Female Armor Class apply to novels?

Earthrise. Taken #OTD 56 years ago. In terms of seeing that we're all on this one single planet, it's one of the most important photos ever taken.

Hey. You. Yes, you. It's okay if things don't feel merry and bright right now. If Christmas feels heavy and full of ghosts. It's almost over and it's okay to breathe a sigh of relief at that. You'll find magic in other days, in other ways, and you will be okay.

This is an important thought about LotR, IMO. Good is simply good. People and others have no concept of an afterlife reward for their temporal life. They simply choose Good in the face of Evil because the alternative is the Dying of the Light.

One of the coolest things about publishing a book in Norway is that the gov will automatically buy 1k copies, 1.5K if its a children's book, these will then be distributed to all the libraries.
