Watched "Short Circuit" (1986) today. Possibly for the first time since it was in the theater in 1986.

I remembered it being kind of cringey.

But man, oh, man is it cringey! Ugh. I guess it was pretty much aimed at kids, but even so, there's a lot of tacky writing in there.

If you’re still confused and don’t understand what’s happening with the Hamas-Israel war (the genocide in Palestine) watch Starship Troopers.
It’s around to watch free…

Or for less effort:

Watch this video essay:

Just look at IDF propaganda videos vs the satire propaganda ones in Starship Troopers. They’re almost the same. That’s very scary! It’s scarier that most people aren’t picking up on it or think it’s normal advertising.

I've finished: House of Saints by Derek Künsken

House of Saints starts slowly, dealing mostly with oppressive politics, subterfuge and straining relationships.

It took me a while to get through the first half of the novel.

Things heat up in the second half, and we get to see more cool engineering as our beloved characters try to survive under the oppressive conditions of Venus, the government and the bank.

I finished the second half of the novel in one day.

I especially enjoyed Pascal's continuing transition story, it is nuanced and beautiful.

Note that This is not The Quantum Magician, it is slower, it broods.

P.S.

Venus Rising is a duology, so we get an ending.

Well, well, well, this was quite a fast one. And I didn’t even push, I just ran on. At one point I noticed that I felt slightly out of breath, then I looked at my watch and was going 4:35/km, so it was alright. Today‘s audiobook was DARK MATTER by Blake Crouch, which I‘ve read some weeks ago. The book was brilliant, the audiobook is as well. I‘m looking forward to the AppleTV+ series of it. Have a great Thursday, y‘all!

323 — What's a piece of advice for writers that you listened to and are glad for?

An Australian author, Lucy Sussex, told us at Clarion West 1998 to be shameless in promoting ourselves. Being a shy person, networking and promotion has been a heavy lift, but I'm working on it and I know it's going to help. Mastodon: ☑️
