this is so boss. Cranmer is afoot!

a passage from le Carré’s “our game” that reads: “All this without shame or circumspection, because when God invented the supermarket, we used to say in the Office, he provided us spies with something we had till then only dreamed of: a place where any fool could transfer anything in the world from one car to another without any other fool noticing.”

when i was a boy i walked into a hobby store and came upon long shelves of books, their grim and unforgiving art pulling me away to a world so bleak and desperate it had a kind of sublime beauty to it; the most haunting images were all Blanche’s, visionary in their impact. a real talent has passed.

just watched The Acolyte and want to congratulate the haters out there for successfully killing a nuanced, fascinating and thoughtful Star Wars show before it could even take its first real steps. great job there guys. the world is a better place now

as a novice writer there’s nothing as inspiring as watching another writer grow over time and come into his own. following @guyhaley.bsky.social from the humble step-by-step storytelling of 2016 to the bold strokes of ‘21 Haley to the giddy exuberance of ‘25 Haley has been an honor and a pleasure 🥃

a fat wad of stone-cold classics from @nickkyme.bsky.social - the space marines’ human complexities and interpersonal drama is expertly balanced with their outlandish heroics and ferocity. the villains are also darkly delicious, be they viscerally wet chaos creatures or arcane and deranged necrons

this is a remarkable work, a transcendent poem of jungle warfare with ornately woven threads of loyalty, purpose, empire and faith. strikingly original and rendered in gorgeous detail, Zou’s brooding gothic vision and cynical insight recalls Conrad, le Carré and James Jones. an absolute triumph

woven through its orgiastic tapestry of debauchery and violence lies a very relevant lament for human society; every ‘great state’ is built upon the backs of slaves, and there is no justice, only the solace and comfort of those we love (also, there’s boobs, dick & gory death in every single ep)

still amazed by how neatly this ties things together while also bringing fresh stuff to the mix. i’ve read many ham-handed hack job prequels sloppily checkmarking fan service references, but Valdor does everything right, bringing plenty of Wraight’s signature warmth, humanity and ear for dialogue

re-reading this as i wait for the new #30k and floored by how incredible @johnfrench.bsky.social is. if there’s one writer who manages to fully realize 30k’s potential as a setting, it’s him. vivid, powerful prose, atmospheric and cinematic in its impact, military SF on par with Haldeman & Heinlein
