There’s an act in Eurovision called Windows 95 Man. He’s naked and emerges from an egg with a Windows 95 T-shirt and no pants 🤣🤣🤣

Notes from a year of reading science fiction and fantasy [potentially minor spoilers]

Below are books I’ve read over the last year, with notes about on what I thought of them. I started this list just to remind me what the books were about and if I thought they were worth reading. As the year went on, my notes became a little more substantial. The list was for me, but I thought I’d share in case it’s useful...

Consider Phlebas

I had not been into sci-fi when I got to the end of all the Iain Banks' books, and loved them all, so got this one and it blew my mind.

Have almost exclusively read sci-fi since then...

    This article by Gary Stevenson is so good, please read every word of it.

    “Whatever Jeremy Hunt says, traders know the rich will get richer and the poor will get poorer. And they’re paid millions to bet on it.”

    This is what the world is - it is run by a minute elite for a minute elite and the rest of us, the masses, the natural world, we just don’t count. It is a (will reshare my own piece on this below 1/n)

    Interesting...

    Didn't know whether UK residents would get this update, or whether they are not implemented for the UK, since we are no longer "residents of the European Union"...

    Kevin,

    Is the bird.makeup instance block on cyberplace.social?

    I can't seem to search for any of their accounts / profiles...

    chiefoldmist,
    @chiefoldmist@cyberplace.social avatar

    @GossiTheDog

    That would be great, it just helps with keeping up with those people that haven't moved over to something else yet...

    Thanks.

    Hi,

    Were you able to have a look and see if this could be unblocked?

    chiefoldmist,
    @chiefoldmist@cyberplace.social avatar

    @GossiTheDog

    No, it didn't work on infosec.exchange as @jerry had blocked lots of the Twitter based services.

    Just checked an old account that I am moving away from to here and it has been working today...

    chiefoldmist,
    @chiefoldmist@cyberplace.social avatar

    @GossiTheDog

    OK, and that looks as though it has worked

    Thanks!
