A poem titled "The Gurgle": The Gurgle doesn't like to scare/It's just that he doesn't care/That he is a frightful beast/Doesn't bother him in the least/Your fear of him is not his fault/He tells you to act like an adult/Though the sight of his ghastly physique/Causes you to die with a shriek        Beneath the poem is a picture of a hideous creature with glaring eyes, a gaping mouth, scraggly hair, and bulging shoulders

I love Asimov's Science Fiction and the magazine's editors. I've published many stories in the magazine. I subscribe to the magazine. Despite that, I'm done with the new MRM owners. This statement is BS. The new owners have squandered the goodwill of their magazines' readers, writers, and fans. 1/

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a small group of friends is hanging out indoors. Two guys are on the couch, holding video game controllers. A third guy steps into the room and says, “can someone move their car?” Panel 2: he continues, “there’s an impossible device blocking me.” In the driveway, a beige car is parked in front of a glossy, unfathomable biomechanic vehicle. Panel 3: back in the video game room, a spindly, three-eyed alien creature steps from across the room with a car key in hand. The alien says, “that’s me, bro— I’ll move.” One of the guys on the couch throws up his hands because the alien is blocking the TV.

A poem called "Mandragora": On the planet Mandragora/Of weird things there is a plethora/Rocks with eyes that at you stare/Plants that can walk anywhere/There is also a species of worm/Which into a humanoid can transform/You'd be advised to avoid this kind/For the creatures can entrance your mind      Underneath the poem is a picture of a rock with an eye in it and a bipedal plant

A poem called ADOPT A GHOST: Show the world you have a heart/As a good soul do your part/There are spirits seeking a home/Don't let them ever aimless roam/From houses haunted driven out/They're someone to care about/So let one in your residence dwell/Adopt a ghost and you'll feel swell      Beneath the poem is a picture of a sad ghost

A poem titled SHE LOVES MUTANTS: We were a devoted couple, me and Lenore/Together we survived the nuclear war/She was faithful for those first grim years/But in time realized were my worst fears/When the mutants showed up she did stray/To the point that she ran away one day/With a big belly she months later returned/The horror she birthed I killed and burned  Under the poem is a picture of a small deformed creature, thankfully mostly obscured in shadow.

TOMMYCIDE I really hated Tommy Grace Hated his voice, hated his face So I resolved to do away with him This was planned, not a mere whim Suspected I did that Tommy knew Somehow I had left behind a clue He was ready when I came for his hide But I still managed to commit Tommycide!
A gleefully wrathful face

Holy shit, I just found this out. Dr. Emily Wilson (whom I think is cool as hell, and I'm not going to tag, bc she doesn't need the headache) absolutely TRASHED The Odyssey in her review for The Guardian. variety.com/2026/film/ne... OMG y'all. It's harsher than the shit *I* write! 😳 #FilmSky 📽️
“I had hoped that Nolan’s affinity with these Homeric themes might push him to new creative heights, and enable him to conjure more believable characters. But ‘The Odyssey’ features his usual combination of grandiosity and superficiality … the film’s vision is too confused, its characters too underdeveloped, to deliver what it half-promises in terms of big ideas – although it is very good at conveying big bangs and big giants,” Wilson’s scathing review reads.She adds: “Nolan’s ‘Odyssey’ lacks many of the elements that make the poem great. It has nothing convincing to say about time, memory, history, war, or about the relationship between one warrior’s glorious return and the lives of his family, adversaries, comrades, friends and neighbors. It lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth. Its narrative structure is gimmicky. The writing is abysmal. None of the characters has convincing motivation for their actions or words. There are no sex scenes, and all the food looks horrible.”Nolan sung Wilson’s praises during his press tour for “The Odyssey,” telling Empire magazine that he used the opening line of her translation (“Tell me about a complicated man”) as a guide for bringing his Odysseus (Matt Damon) to life on the big screen. But Wilson concluded of Nolan’s film: “I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script.”

WASTED I was relentlessly chased Across a planet of barren waste How they sought to persecute me My dark ruthless faceless enemy Among the mountains I went to hide Where a terrible beast did reside Into this trap rushed my foe They died and on my way I did go
A range of black mountains with blazing red eyes staring out of them

Watched CIVIL WAR last night. Very uneven movie. Good performance by Kirsten Dunst. Cailee Spaeny is woefully miscast. You see her and you wonder what this 12-year-old is doing in the movie. Overwrought in places, underwritten in places, contrived ending. The very last scene was powerful, however.

MINDHEAD He had a mind He had a head That's what you'll find That's what he said His mind went mad He lost his head His end was bad And now he's dead
An abstract face surrounded by darkness, with empty eyes and an anguished mouth.

A poem called "Careless Cosmos": With my friend Paul I liked to race/Across the void of galactic space/Sometimes he'd win, sometimes it was I/Such joy through the light years to fly/Speeding to Altair I had won the day/But the ship met an object in its way/As the breached hull leaked away my air/I asked why a neutron star had been parked there   Beneath the poem is a picture of a spaceship colliding with a large glowing object
