Reminder: I have migrated to Blue-Sky, look for me under my actual name.

It's basically like nerd Twitter from around 2012. Not perfect, but better than here.

|@ouranosaurus: “[Stations of the Tide is] definitively not a fantasy novel. But it is more fantastic than 90 percent of what is published as fantasy. There’s a constant tension in the modern fantasy genre over exactly how much magic should be demystified” https://t.co/YVbNPLydeX

Who doesn't like Michael Swanwick novels?

No, really, I'm making a list of you jerks…

[Matthew Claxton @ouranosaurus]

Writing about the numinous in fantasy again, so naturally I'm talking about a novel with AIs, space travel, cyberspace – and more magic than 90% of fantasy novels.

Yet again, it is a good day to mention that I am on the Bloo-ski site, so if anyone wants to look me up there, my handle is my actual name.

We are very much in the "fucking around" stage of having no support for local news outlets, and a lot of people are not going to like the "finding out" phase.

This gem was across the street from us as we refueled on our way home from Branson, MO - it's like the typical enterprise computing system, rendered in motel form:

|@ouranosaurus: “Edwards does not actually care about the ideas in his movie.
This is one of the purest cyberpunk movies made in the last 30 years. So we’re going to find out something about this new world, right? …
Nope.
Not a goddamn thing” #TheCreator https://t.co/czDYnH1Mrp

I really didn't like The Creator.

[Matthew Claxton @ouranosaurus]

The Creator is a hollow shell, exoticized Asian cyberpunk without any genuine ideas, characters, or even interest in anything other than making a pretty vista.

The Antelope sloop was a sickening sight/
How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now/
She'd a list to the port and her sails in rags/
And the cook in the scuppers with the staggers and jags

@sillysyntax Ouch! Rest up and get better!
