When I was a young child, I earnestly asked my mother what it was like to live in a world without color because all of the old shows she shared from her childhood were in black and white.

I forgot it was swordtember until last night when I remembered. The prompt yesterday was game, so here's a sword which changes blades depending on the cartridge that's in it! #Art #Drawing #Game #swordtember #swordtember2026 #tetris #metroid #castlevania #FunControllersThatReallyDidntMakeMuchSense

Loooove this response from Kim Stanley Robinson in a 2009 interview with Terry Bisson. Also a smack in the face to “is this necessary to the plot” foolishness
Someone once described your Mars books as an in-fodump tunneled by narrative moles. I think it was a com-pliment. What do you think?
No, not a compliment. I reject the word "in-fodump" categorically—that's a smartass word out of the cyberpunks workshop culture, them thinking that they knew how fiction works, as if it were a tinker toy they could disassemble and label superciliously, as if they knew what they were doing. Not true in any way. I reject "expository lump" also, which is another way of saying it. All these are attacks on the idea that fiction can have any kind of writing included in it. It's an attempt to say "fiction can only be stage business" which is a stupid position I abhor and find all too common in responses on amazon.com and the like. All these people who think they know what fiction is, where do they come from? I've been writing it for thirty years and I don't know what it is, but what I do know is that the novel in particular is a very big and flexible form, and I say, or sing: Don't fence me in!

Have a #painting. "Doolin I" was painted some time ago when there were less buildings in the general area of the west of Ireland village, and I used to like to visit for a few pints of quiet. And also for a spot of wave-watching, which I hope my painting conveys. #SpeirGorm #ArtYear
Landscape format in acrylics on canvas. Looking across a stone bridge of maroon walls and lilac road that runs from bottom left to right edge, at a row of 6 buildings, one and two-story. They disappear as road nears left edge and bends behind itself. The first building across the bridge is single-storey and pink with a small dark door and dark window either side, with a high slate roof of dark blue with two arched windows in it. The other buildings are white with one yellow. All have slate roofs of various dark blues. Some poppies are in the foreground beside other pink, wine and grey-green vegetation. On left of bridge, grey-green fields are opposite the buildings. The sky is pink with some soft blue and white blended in. Signed top left in blue: Liam

Has anyone used one of those USB charging blocks that is "smart" and stops charging when the device is charged up? Have you had a good experience with it? I have a set of headphones I had to replace presumably because the battery kept topping up 0.1% over and over while plugged in overnight.
