Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I was legitimately scared of a nuclear bomb. We had an earnest fifth grade science teacher who said nuclear war was pretty much guaranteed by 1988. I would lie in bed and think every time the traffic noise stopped it meant a missile was coming. 140
Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 26/08/2026The most obvious response to this post would be in poor taste, so I shan't make it. But we're all thinking it. 0210
Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Interesting. Did not know that. But I’m assuming the command was always British prior to independence- were there Indian officers? 100

Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 08/08/2026MAGA types secretly wish 9/11 happened in Texas so it would fit their narrative. That it happened in a diverse, left-leaning city that embraces pluralism is very inconvenient. 180
Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 07/08/2026This whole discussion is silly. There are vast volumes of science fiction written by women that has little or no romance. Try Ursula K LeGuin, CJ Cherryh, Ann Leckie, Martha Wells, N.K. Jemisin etc etc. 010

Oliver Staley @ostaley.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Thanks. Looks like Speer served a 20 year sentence, but then successfully laundered his reputation as a technocrat ignorant of Germany’s WWII atrocities. That was later exposed as a lie. 000
