Cicero (classic): Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book. Cicero (2025): Times are bad. Nobody can afford to have children, and AI is writing books.

Sooo, is stupidity and incompetence a pre-requisite for joining the crew of a Weyland-Yutani star ship or what? Glad to see Alien: Earth continuing the tradition!

I've been playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. Have to commend their Arabic team and actors. Authentic Egyptian Arabic! This woman just said "akher kalam" to the shopkeeper and there's even a recipe for hamam mahshi!

My essay on cultured meat and religious dietary conditions in @BSFA'sVector 301. Read if you want a deep dive into how a generation ship might arrange its meat production as well as bad Soylent Green puns.

ChatGPT to Palpatine: There can be no light without darkness. Well done for staying true to your values and not compromising. Being a Jedi is not working out for this Anakin kid, and as a good mentor it's your duty to propose alternative frameworks for personal growth.

The football is back and I'm sick of hearing people talk about their FPL teams. Can we not have a literary version of fantasy league? "I've got Tolkien as captain and Rothfuss coming off the bench."
