Readers and writers of #BookSky, I got a story for you. Last year, I released a major nonfiction and sequel to an award winning mystery. This year, I released an audiobook on forensic history. But like most authors, I struggle to make sales/get recognition, and am a poor AF. Now the funny part: 1/

Okay. This is probably just me: Decided to BRIEFLY checkout @netflix.com 's Golden Ticket game show, and the first time I heard Gene Wilders voice I started tearing up. And then I stopped watching. Estate permission or no, Gene Wilder's voice reduced to gameshow announcer. That's fucked up.

This week weekly comic anthology 2000 AD hits a major milestone with Prog 2500. Which got me thinking, I've been reading 2000 AD for over 20 years at this point, I was a reader when 1500 dropped in 2006. For this milestone I'm going to rank my top 20 strips that premiered during the last 1000 progs.

Cover to 2000 AD PROG 1500 by Boo Cook, featuring a large stop 1500 with a statue of Tharg the Mighty standing over a parade of Judges driving by, with a group of 2000 AD characters behind a barricade looking on.

Tomorrow. 8 September, 60 years ago. Star Trek aired in the U.S. We got it late, of course. Star Trek, The Original Series aired in South Africa during the most oppressive period of the Apartheid Regime -1980's. And kids like me watched with fascination, the voyages of the Starship Enterprise.

It's not working properly. You don't get sent the supplementary documents, which you don't know you need unless you've received them before, and sometimes/in some ways the site defaults to http, which means people will be sending sensitive info (ID, phone, address) insecurely.
