So happy that this book is finally available. My chapter on the roots of Philippine Speculative Fiction was a labour of love that took one year to write. Thank you to Gabby Lee and Anna Sanchez, as well as to all the other writers, and the team at UP Press. press.up.edu.ph/product/mapp...

There is no longer any moral wiggle room, if you tolerate Trump and Musk... let alone openly support them, you are complicit in this moment of history. If after everything we've all seen and heard, you still fail to disavow them, then you are racist, anti-poor, and pro-injustice.

Twin Peaks was such an eye-opener for younger me, especially in terms of narrative structure. Moreover, David Lynch also gave us the language to describe the strangeness of our modern world. There is still no better description for our shared times than "lynchian". www.bbc.com/news/article...

This analysis of Lower Decks is spot-on. Shame on my favourite fandom. "Nobody knows what they want from this franchise, and a world where fans have rejected Lower Decks is one where the franchise is doomed to die a slow death." www.giantfreakinrobot.com/ent/the-best...

If you want to read a story about endings and beginnings, familial love, and the importance of remembering, please read "The Ocean Above Her " at Philippine Genre Stories. If you like it kindly leave me a comment or RT. Thank you! shorturl.at/nL45x

Lots of good questions from a very full house. I wish we had half a day to discuss. Thank you also to Patricia Mulles for the photos! #artificialintelligence #Ai #copyrights #creatorrights

We talked about how AI affected the writing profession, copyrights, and copyright law, as well as its impact on education. Notably, we also discussed whether the fair use provisions of SG's Copyright Act covered GEN AI transformers or not.
