Yesterday, I learned of the death of someone I was close to for many years, but who was only close to me briefly. And so, I am thinking of these final scenes from "The Age of Innocence." No one will respond to this, I'm sure, but I wanted to put it out in the universe. youtu.be/QgFkOfPvv5M?...

It doesn’t quite make up for my flight being canceled at the last minute, but the announcement of “surprise s’mores waffles” on offer in the Delta Lounge does feel like someone was speaking directly to me 🧇 Well played, #Delta

I had a wonderful evening with @caitlinrozakis.bsky.social at @kewandwillow.bsky.social in Queens, NY! Thanks to everyone who attended -- and K&W for making it special! Link to K&W's Insta reel: www.instagram.com/reel/DbJ866E... A fun wrap-up Caitlin made! www.instagram.com/reel/DbMdv6j...
My apologies to anyone planning to come hear me at @thebookloft.bsky.social tomorrow the 29th -- storms (that I can't even see in NYC right now!) have canceled my flights and made it impossible to get there on time. But with luck WE WILL REBUILD! Well, reschedule. More anon....
It's a fun ride of a story, particularly if you like thoughtful space actioners!
A.T. Sayre@atsayre.bsky.social · last wk.According to @matthewkressel.net, I'm a hard science fiction writer. Which, sure, I can't deny it. It just feels weird—I never did well in science class. I'm just a dipshit with a film degree. 'The Asterist' coming October 13th. Pre-order yours today at @barnesandnoble --> buff.ly/jPL3RrT #speclit
2 minutes, 10 seconds into the video. 24/7. Nobody wants this. AI is a scourge -- as are its homes.
John Rogers@johnrogers.bsky.social · last wk.You gotta watch the video for the noise. It's insane. Every time I see somebody ask "hey, why the backlash against data centers?" I'm puzzled because those people don't seem to understand data centers are *bad faith neighbors*. gizmodo.com/this-viral-d...
Well, I can guarantee I'll be there! What about you?
