Currently reading: The Moon and the Desert, by Robert E. Hampson. It's about an astronaut who is injured and gets rebuilt with millions of dollars in bionic parts and becomes better than he was before . . . HEY, WAIT A MINUTE.

It happens a lot, lol #booktwt #comics #webcomics

NASA has not held a media briefing on Starliner's Crew Flight Test in 11 days. This is unreal given that it is a test flight, and there are huge questions about how this mission will end.

The next phase of the Boeing CEO’s plan is to send them cheesy movies, the worst he can find. The astronauts will be forced to sit and watch them all, while he monitors their minds.

Just finished: The Black Company, by Glen Cook. I'll harp on modern cover design once again. What grabs your attention more: Darth Vader/Dr. Doom guy standing over glowing sigil, or silhouettes of guys on horseback?

Currently reading: Gaunt's Ghosts: The Founding, by Dan Abnett. Contains the first few novels and short stories in the series.

Poor Kang. Not long ago he was the MCU's next big villain, now he's reduced to this.

Saw Excalibur on the big screen last night. You know a movie is a classic when you keep finding new stuff in it each time. It never ceases to amaze me how Nigel Terry convincingly plays Arthur from youth to old man in the span of a single movie.

I get name-dropped here. A. Merritt and The Ship of Ishtar — DMR Books

Just finished: Allan Quatermain, by H. Rider Haggard. This was the novel that set the pattern for the Lost Race subgenre for decades to come. Beautiful but amoral queens, plotting high priests, the works.

I say, I suddenly feel the need to write more stuff with lasers.

Have we ever had a first person view of an EVA like this? Wow we're living in the future

It's easy with all the craziness in the world to forget that there still amazing things happening.

Happy Space:1999 day to all who celebrate!

Dune: Director's cut..😅🔊⬆️

Recently read: Over Sea, Under Stone and The Dark is Rising, by Susan Cooper. Never read these as a kid.
