Delighted to be at Dublin Comic Con this weekend giving away free books on the Wicklow level (2nd floor) on behalf of @dublin2029.bsky.social. Come get a book or two, hear about our plans to bring the World Science Fiction Convention (Worldcon) back to Dublin in 2029, and maybe sign up to help!
Why on earth am I sharing a photo of a phone? It was bought for me by a shadowy cabal of friends for my 40th birthday. It has reached the end of its service life and will soon go into the west. Physical objects fade but the meaning is lasting. Thank you.
My friend @animatederica.bsky.social is at Star Trek Las Vegas and made her own Exercise Deanna costume!!
Well... darn.

It is currently single digits in Oxfordshire and I am adoring the relative cold.
Don’t forget to cast your vote for the 2026 Hugo Awards! Did you know that voting on the entire Hugo Awards ballot is NOT required? Do you know films and video games, but not novels? Do you love art and graphic stories, but haven't read the novellas?

Wow I am both amazed and very happy for someone to be watching this for the first time. I remember watching this off a bootleg VHS from car boot rental (Remember those?). My mother inadvertently protected me from the twist. The movie is shot until the "Get Down" scene to not know who is good.

Greenway users forced onto busy national road in peak tourist season as farmer closes route
Users of the Great Western Greenway have been pushed out onto the N59, a national secondary road with a 100km/h speed limit, for around a 200-metre section of the greenway between Westport and Newport after a farmer closed a shorter section outside of his farm. The section closed by the farmer amounts to around 40 or 50 metres, but because of fences and greenery in the way, detouring around the closed section involves using the main road for 200 metres.

I almost didn't get up for parkrun this morning. I certainly didn't intend to do sub 23. And I really didn't mean to get at least my year pb and maybe my course pb. You probably think I'm humble bragging. I'm not. #parkrun
