@Andy_Dudak How graphic does it have to be?

Lee Child's Jack Reacher gets 'satisfaction' but it's always glossed over!

And while I'm at it, seeing as it's #smallpressday, check out Space to Create in Chinese Science Fiction, which compares the historical development of SF in the West & in China and compares the works of three important SF authors from the 60s to the 2000s

@Tonpa2 Thanks, @Tonpa2 See what Mr. @aria_blackness thinks of #RatlAndRoll Number 1, right here!

Available in many formats!

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

I can happily say, that page 9 of #spaceToCreateInChineseScienceFiction also names #MaryShelley's Frankenstein as the starting point for modern #SF!

@SR_Historian Alongside the the 1938 man of the year, a European head of state by the name of Adolf Hitler.

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

@SR_Historian Interestingly enough I was talking with my students about the Time magazine man of the year in an English lesson this morning. The question came up about former chosen men of the year awards - don't you know that Chiang Kai-shek as well as Madame Soong once had the 'honour.'

Merry #Christmas to one and all!

It's become my custom over the last few years to create my own Christmas cards - This year, I've passed that job over to #AI (in preparation of welcoming our new #robot_overlords! #Resistance_is_futile!)

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

@PatMillsComics I think it possibly only happens with titles that have been released within the last few months.

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

@PatMillsComics I re-released "Space to Create" and I had exactly the same problem when checking https://t.co/YMmhZtnHLF from here in Germany. It worked fine with the .de country code though.

But what is interesting, is that I had no such problems with "Ratl and Roll" -

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

Thought I'd put out my alter ego's #inktober comic on this channel for anyone who's interested. Not science fiction 😉

[Rob Price (#robgpricetoons #RatlAndRoll 🐭 🐷) @robgprice]

Welcome to a #RatlAndRoll #Inktober story, where I'll use the idea of the daily prompt to write a story!

I'm on hols in #Croatia this week, - pics only as technically artistic as my phone allows!

Today = #CRYSTAL!
Tune in again tomorrow

There is still time to sign up for my in-person class on science fiction at Imperial College, open to all levels of familiarity with the genre and cultural scholarship. Last time I had PhD students, retirees, current undergrads and MAs, and working professionals.

@awhspeed @SapphireLally @aussiastronomer Inter is from Latin meaning between (if I remember correctly!)

Internet - the net between servers around the world.
International travel etc...

Intra - within

Intranet - only the employees within an organisation can access it.

[Universal Curiosity @UniverCurious]

In this ABC interview from 1974, famous sci-fi writer, Arthur Clarke makes surprisingly precise predictions of the Internet and PC.

Born today in 1925, the late, immeasurably great Peter Sellers channels George Formby in this classic chat show appearance.

@crystaljjlee In my day it was 朋友 by 周华健! No longer the case?

[Rob Price @chinese_SF]

@SabbySabs2 It's what I was saying in 2016. Would have saved a lot of hassle.

[mack🌸 @aceekmr]

The reason we celebrate Te Wiki o Te reo Māori around the 14th of September each year is because that's the date the petition to allow te reo to be spoken in schools was delivered to parliament in 1972. Without these reo champions we wouldn't have a te reo Māori anything 💙
