Diese Cover von "Detective Trails" (November 1929 & Februar 1930) sind auf besondere Art cool. 🖤

Hey Chat, Ray Bradbury hat eine nette Kurzgeschichte über genau den heutigen Tag , 4. August 2026, geschrieben.😬
There Will Come Soft Rains by Ray Bradbury
“Today is Mr. Featherstone’s birthday. Today is the anniversary of Tilita’s marriage. Insurance is payable, as are the water, gas, and light bills.”

Ray Harryhausen's stop-motion skeletons in Jason and the Argonauts are amazing even now. He animated the sequence by himself for more than four months -- without computers or even an easy way to check his work. We're looking into how he did it: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/how-ray-ha...
Bambiraptor feinbergi. Possibly a valid genus… possibly a juvenile Saurornitholestes. Possibly none of the above. I spent far too long on this one. I hope it was worth it 🫠 If the scientists could avoid reclassifying Bambi before people have seen this, I’d appreciate it. 😉 #SciArt
I’ve never seen the original context for this all-timer of a tweet and honestly it’s incredible on multiple levels

Bin durch mit "Miss Linwood Entertains" und es hat mir wieder viel Freude bereitet. Die Bandbreite der Geschichten ist ähnlich groß wie in "Where All Is Night, And Starless" -- sowohl was die Settings als auch was den Ton angeht. Das reicht von einem merkwürdig "lebendigen" alten Hotel an der
What people using AI crave at root is an end to the uncertainty of human interaction and connection and its replacement with endless hollow affirmation and instant gratification. They should be pitied but never enabled or excused.
FYI, the ebook for DEEP WATER, by Beulah Poynter & Edwina Levin (MacDonald) is on sale! (Regular $3.99, now $2.99.) ICYMI when it came out last year, it's a romantic mystery/crime novel, originally serialized in the #pulp magazine ARGOSY and never collected in book form! www.amazon.com/dp/B0DZQ8ZB22
Weil gerade ein entsprechender Spiegel-Artikel kursiert: Ist das "Erwachen der KI" In Gibsons "Neuromancer" tatsächlich als Teil des dystopischen Szenarios -- also negativ - dargestellt? Ist lange her, seit ich die Trilogie gelesen habe, doch in meiner Erinnerung fühlt sich das nicht so eindeutig an

In der Arte-Mediathek finden sich zur Zeit eine Handvoll Filme von Mike Leigh. Ich weiß nicht, ob da noch mehr dazukommen werden, aber die vier schau ich mir im Laufe der nächsten Wochen sicher alle (mal wieder) an. Schätze den britischen Filmemacher sehr. 📽️ www.arte.tv/de/videos/RC...

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
Es gibt Facetten von "Die purpurnen Flüsse" (2000), die mir gefallen. Die universitäre Gemeinschaft selbsterklärter Übermenschen n den Bergen könnte interessant sein. Aber leider macht so vieles in dem Film überhaupt keinen Sinn. Außerdem ist er schlecht konstruiert. Schon nach 15 Minuten wird
Wilhelmina, caustic and Jamaican, folded her arms. Visitors and new residents often mistook her, on first meeting, for the sort of plump black mother-figure, who was full of welcome, humour and homely wisdom. They soon learned. John Linwood Grant: The Yuggoth Club #MissLinwoodEntertains

And that brings me to the underlying theme: "Warmongers and plutocrats can't build civilization, only diminish it. Society is upheld from the bottom up by ordinary people." Not every story is going to perfectly embody this, but this is the throughline for the series as a whole.
