Flying out to the US today, same day as the king. Coincidence? Or does his majesty plan to stop by my event in Boston tonight incognito and finally get his copy of Best Served Cold signed?
The Devils is now OUT in the UK in hardcover, e-book, and audio read by Steven Pacey. Fly, my pretties, to your local bookstore or preferred internet retailer. https://t.co/xGgWSznj20
@LordGrimdark Yes! It was great, Joe took some precious time out of his busy schedule to listen to us and make photos. I honestly expected much more people
пошла спросила Корнела, как часто он думает о Римской империи.
«не так часто, как об афинской демократии», — ответил он, и глаза его подёрнулись мечтательным туманом.
to the people who accelerate when I signal to merge, a pox upon your house, unless you've read my book; in which case, I applaud your aggression and presume it is warranted
Pale Blue Dot is a photo of Earth that was taken by the Voyager 1 space probe in 1990 from a distance of about 6 billion kilometers (3.7 billion miles) as it was leaving our solar system. This is what Carl Sagan said about the photo:
"Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it, everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor, and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every 'superstar,' every 'supreme leader,' every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there — on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand. It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.”
Can’t believe I’ve been on Twitter this long, now it is slowly dying, and not a single luxury watch manufacture has invited me to be a brand ambassador. Who better to vouch for your product than an expert on the arrow of time?
