Watched the new Avatar: Seven Havens. They're taking it in a different direction from the last two Avatar series. I like it so far.

On second thought, Lanterns wasn't that good.

Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Watched the new Spider-man movie. It was crap. So glad I didn't pay to see this when it was in theatres.

I'm hating this season of Bake-off. It’s slipped into a cakey absurdity. 🍰

Started Virtual Light by William Gibson cos I went nearly a day without thinking about cyberpunk.

Read The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson two days ago. It’s a decent fantasy. Different enough from what I usually read.

Watched the season finale of Lanterns. Overall a decent series. A bit lacking in structure. But one of the best things DC has put out in a while.

Just finished Exodus by Peter F Hamilton. That one took a while.

They put an AI in charge of my doctors appointments. I used to get one routine appointment a year. Now I get three a month. Sometimes all scheduled for the same time in different hospitals. 90% of them are cancelled the day before. Thanks AI for make my days more eventful. 🖕🤖

Been offline for a few days. Was at a jazz club. No reception. Too underground.

When I type "Elves" or "Changeling" autocorrect capitalises them. Just checking, but they aren’t real, right?

I'm reading The Broken Sword by Poul Anderson. It’s an old fantasy with elves and a changeling. Very different from the fantasy I've read before.

Read Downbelow Station by C.J Cherryh. Not my thing but read it for yourself and decide.

I forgot about it for a few months, but I just finished Devil May Cry season 2. It’s pretty badass.

Forgot about Devil May Cry. I should finish that. I think I have three episodes left.

Thinking about the mathematics of Death Note. In the first or second episode L narrows Kira's location down to the Kanto region by isolating his broadcast. If he didn’t reveal what he was doing, L could have found Kira anywhere in Japan in 27 days.

Watching this weeks episode of The Lanterns. It’s good. But, I don’t understand why Hal doesn't just use his powers.

They cancelled Spider-Noir. One of the best shows on tv. It’s like they don't want tv to be good.

Watched this movie, The Visitor. It’s from 1979. I wouldn’t say it was good. But, I would say they don't make them like that anymore.

ACT III by Kasabian is out. I already love it. It sounds more modern.

Someone I know said oat milk is for kids. I would say that regular milk is. That’s what milk is. It’s basic biology.

65% into Exodus. A lot of planet hopping and exploring the ruins of ancient civilisations. See how it ends, but I'm all in for the sequel.

When I was in school we had a substitute teacher named Fidel Castro. He taught Spanish. In retrospect, that might not have been his real name.

Finished episode two of The Lanterns. I think they are finally doing a show that's not afraid of the absurdity of comics. They just throw in superpowers and aliens because that's what the audience wants. 💚

Just finished Platform Decay. It’s Murderbot doing Murderbot stuff. Also, he added an algorithm for emotional checks. Highly recommend it.

Reading the latest Murderbot. It's still unintentionally the best neurodivergent representation.

Stuart Fails to Save the Universe looks awful. As a longtime hater of sitcoms, Big Bang Theory in particular, it makes me pity the average person. Mindlessly watching whatever prequel and spinoff spews from what Chuck Lorre calls his brain.

Watching season two of Devil May Cry. The soundtrack isn't as 2000s as the first season. But, the fight scenes are badass 🤘

Saw the first episode of Lanterns yesterday. DC is doing something good for a change.

Season finale of Sugar. Thought I knew were it was going. But, damn it still surprised me. Really underrated show. Go watch it.

Trying something different on Substack. Just some physics ideas and how they work in space opera. scifisi.substack.com/p/the-gravit...

I have a lot of followers who read hard sci-fi and a few who write it.

Watched The Last House. It had a good premise. But, the last act was a letdown.

Watched the new Futurama. Bender played Rachmananoff's Prelude in C-sharp minor on an ancient yet well-maintained...glass piano. I don’t know if that was a Hyperion reference, but I appreciate it.

Read book three in the Witcher series last night. It’s getting good. Looking forward to the next one.

This week I watched new X-men, Ghost in the Shell and Futurama. Tv has come full circle back to the 90s.

My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.

 All the people who are anti-Al or want to
 slow Al progress, I have one question:
 If Al disappeared tomorrow, could you
 still get through an entire workday
 without ChatGPT, Claude, or any other
 Al tool?
 
Imagine Al was suddenly banned.
 Would you actually be willing to give it
 up?

Read Stephen Fry's Odyssey. Really good. Not going to bother with the movie cos I already know how it ends.

Watched the new Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. Cheesy but I like it.

Listening to an audiobook in bed is nice. It’s like Stephen Fry is reading me a bedtime story.

I'm watching the new Ghost in the Shell anime. It’s a little cartoonish but I'll give it a few more episodes.

Reality Awaits, the latest album by the Strokes. I have mixed feelings about it. I need to listen to this one a few times. Go listen to it yourself and tell me what you think. Genius or not?
