Flying Witch is a very sweet SOL show! I just wish they’d make more seasons.

Am I the only person who immediately thought that Musk will end up suing Wikipedia for infringing on “his” content?

That’ll be quite a turnaround. We will go from seeing reality in Gaza to pure fantasy from Israel. Smiling Palestinian children (played by Israeli child actors) hugging their IDF “friends”.

I’ll be deleting my account, thank you.

Asimov’s Mysteries, published in (1968) is a collection of science fiction mystery short stories. When Asimov set out to prove that something was possible (science fiction mysteries, in this case), he didn’t hold back!

Edward D. Hoch wrote a series of several excellent science fiction mystery novels: The Transvection Machine (1971) about a teleportation machine that’s involved in an apparent murder, The Fellowship of the Hand (1973), and The Frankenstein Factory (1975). They all feature the same detective: Carl Crader of the “computer cops”.

In addition to the Gil Hamilton mysteries, Larry Niven also wrote interesting detective and murder stories around the idea of a society in which cheap teleportation booths are available to all. Several of those stories are collected in A Hole in Space (1974). Like many older authors, Niven has re-released some of his short stories in larger collections later in his career, so those stories are almost certainly available in other collections. Almost all of his short stories are gems.

Happy reading! 🤓📖

I, Claudius (1934) by Robert Graves. It’s a great piece of historical fiction, based in large part on Graves’ translation of The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius. The book feels remarkably modern and personal, though; it’s the secret autobiography of Claudius, an historian in ancient Rome. When I first read it, I believed that Claudius had really written it!

Beyond that, I, Claudius is becoming more and more relevant to contemporary American politics every day. It’s really astonishing.
