Science Fiction

eosfpodcast,

Musk spent $44 BILLION to buy a social media platform that probably won’t exist in 5 years.

Just stop and think if he were a human and directed that money towards eradicating poverty, homelessness + hunger.

Greed and racism have set us back hundreds of years.

It’s tragic.

We are the ultimate dystopia.

inkican,

@eosfpodcast This is why I don't write dystopian or post-apoc fiction - we're already living there.

@TheSpaceshipper It's never clicked until now.

"What if we take the Galaxy Class saucer, and rotate it 90 degrees, then attach the body at the side?"

@TheSpaceshipper John Eaves is not only a great illustrator, he’s one of the best (and fastest) model makers I’ve ever worked with. Just amazing.

Roland Emmerich's Stargate was released 29 years ago today.

This film spawned an entire TV universe, from 1997 to 2011, and a continuation or reboot is expected in the next few years.

@TheSpaceshipper oh yes, I was in the cinema for that. Definitely was something for my young brain.

Lesley,

@TheSpaceshipper fun fact: the stargate theme was basically written in the 16th century! (fantasia on a theme by thomas tallis <- why fum’th in fight)

Captain's Log: Repost

I am a media/computer nerd who once did research on social media and how it affects us. I eat movies & shows like cookies, play and , read a bunch of and do some with . I usually just post for laughs and snark about digital life but there’s also some tidbits (behind CWs) and some .

All that that had super rich business people as heros
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Maybe enough with that crap and write some stuff recognizing that democratic governments formed because super rich people screw things up not fix things

SrRochardBunson,

@voron 😂

All of this!

Life SUCKED under monarchies, totalitarians and fascists.

That's EXACTLY what made the USA such a big freakin' deal.

benda,

@reallyflygreg @SrRochardBunson @voron there's more propaganda than just that, but yes, worship of the "powerful" is a common one.

I like this movie and haven't seen it in a while.
I might need to do a rewatch.

@TheSpaceshipper I really love this version of the movie (the original is just too long and slow and artsy for me). The soundtrack is fantastic too!

The Creator (Sept. 29, in theaters)

The more I see of this original film, the more I look forward to watching it.

Man, I can't believe I'd been sleeping on Ursula Le Guin for so long - after reading The Dispossessed and LHOD, she's becoming one of my favourite authors.

Which of her other books would you recommend? I've already got A Wizard of Earthsea, The Word for World is Forest and some short stories (like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas) on my list.

(Also open to recommendations for similar authors)

anarchopunk_girl,

@max @ASleepyWanderer what PKD would you recommend?

@anarchopunk_girl
It really depends what you're into. I would say probably start with a collection of short stories! electric sheep is also a classic, it's how I got into him!

Internet Dudes: Why does new Trek need goofy stuff like a musical episode? Classic Trek was serious science fiction!

Classic Trek: so anyways here's Space Lincoln
