I enjoyed reading Lucas Varela's comic The Longest Day of the Future. The simple drawing style hides (but also gives room to think about) some deep concepts: sentient robots as slaves, the end state of capitalism, the acceptance of violent imagery in main stream media (seguing from cartoon violence!), and so on. Will have to re-read to understand more.
Next up in my reading for the #HugoAwards is Cixin Liu's "Death's End". Except to read it, I feel that I should read "The Dark Forest" first.
Which means I should really re-read "The Three-Body Problem"
Oh, the horror of re-reading "The Three-Body Problem"
I love to write short fiction -- #sci-fi, #cyberpunk, #spaceopera, #sexpunk...

Do you feel angry at all the languages you don't understand in your timeline? You know what that is? It's fear. The mere SIGHT of another language fills you with fear. Imagine that.
Best run home to mommy.
Poor babies. Probably never left their mother's tit.
And so now the French are crying about all the Japanese in their timelines. Well, I guess that really seals it, huh? Everyone was crying about the French in their timelines last week. We live on a world where the mere SIGHT of another human language fills us with fear.
