William Gibson’s Virtual Light (1993) anticipates looksmaxxing.

Five minutes to their first house check, then they'd be swinging back toward Beverly Hills. They were talking about this chain of Japanese gyms called Body Hammer. Body Hammer didn't offer much in the way of tra- ditional gym culture; in fact they went as far as possible in the op- posite direction, catering mostly to kids who liked the idea of being injected with Brazilian fetal tissue and having their skeletons rein- forced with what the ads called performance materials." Sublett said it was the Devil's work. Rydell said it was a Tokyo franchise operation.

Once upon a time, I ordered a coffee in Washington DC. The barista asked me to give my name. Me: It’s Graham. Barista: …how are you spelling that? Me: As in Lindsey Graham. Barista: *raises eyebrow* Me: No relation. Barista, after perfectly-timed pause: I would think not.

I'm moderating a Readercon panel this evening on the best dogs in science fiction/fantasy, and thought I should crowdsource some suggestions. Any nominations from the BSky hive-mind?

Recalling that time, a couple of months ago, when a stranger in a coffee shop thought I was (or at least resembled) Russell T Davies. Should I spend the next few weeks sheltering at home?

I do wish cookbook publishers wouldn’t get cheap with the indexing. Trying to find a kidney bean stew in the otherwise excellent Meera Sodha’s Dinner: - nothing for “bean” - or “kidney” - “stew” says “see recipe name”, and honey, if I remembered the name I’d have done that Flicking through it is 🤷‍♂️

Stuck at home and on painkillers, for reasons, and found myself watching a documentary about Bay Area land scarcity and gentrification, called _A View to a Kill_ (1985).
