I'm working on a Spanish translation of my SF trilogy. It's very demanding, so I'm taking it slow. But it's been so inspiring that I decided to write a new chapter for insertion in the first book just so I could expand a character and explore more of his Mexican dialect.

After a very long journey, I’m delighted to announce that my complete science-fiction trilogy, Along Time’s Edge, is now available for pre-order in Italian, French, and German. Bringing these books into three new languages has been an enormous undertaking—far more than simply translating the words.

Calling native French speakers! Question for you. When reading a novel in French, do you prefer that dialogue uses the guillemets «» or the EM dashes/rayas — ? Which reads cleaner to you? 1/2 #French #FrenchLiterature #FrenchNovels #Francais

I enjoyed the Italian version of 4K77 Star Wars so much that I was determined to see 4K80 The Empire Strikes Back in Italian. The version of the file I had didn't have any foreign language audio files on it, however... which sent me down a huge rabbit hole to find the AC3 tracks... 1/5

Watched the 4K77 version of the original Star Wars in Italian for the first time last night. It's incredible in Italian! The voices are excellent, especially Ben Kenobi, Princess Leia, and Grand Moff Tarken. The language lends their lines a lot of gravitas.

Spent the afternoon going over a chapter-long dialogue scene, line-by-line, and carefully controlling the formal/informal register in both the Italian and French versions, and it's one of the most taxing things my brain has ever had to do. We native English speakers are just not used to this.

Interesting summation of the new revelations coming from Who's recent missing episodes discovery. The process of making prints was different than previously thought. More prints might be found with companies that developed negatives or in the collections of prior employees. youtu.be/zP8WurUxmnI?...

Bad mistake. If British bases are going to get hit anyway and in essence it makes no difference as Starmer claims, then the answer is to take the moral high ground and not join in with this illegal and unethical war. Defend yourself, of course, but don't tie yourself to Trump's aggression.

Britain's prime minister said the missions would be aimed at preventing Iran from launching missiles.

"The biggest threat to America today is not communism, it's moving America toward a fascist theocracy, and everything that's happened during the Reagan administration is steering us right down that pipe."—Frank Zappa in 1985. If Zappa were alive today he'd be 85. He was way ahead of his time.

I was excited about the Republicans in Congress seemingly growing a spine and deciding to hold hearings until I realized that they're just doing it to avoid talking about the #EpsteinFiles. Apparently, anything, even criticizing DHS/ICE/Kristi Noem/Bovino, is better than that!

This is Paul Lewandowski, a decorated combat veteran. He analyzes the video of Alex Pretti's murder. Pretti was pepper-sprayed (at very close range) and thus in intense pain and suffering from disorientation. He was essentially helpless before they even took his pistol from him.

“Trump didn’t win the Nobel Peace Prize” is giving “Hitler got rejected from art school” vibes.

The certain person in politics they're referring to is definitely a bad egg. Too bad there isn't one of those scales that can dump him into the furnace.
