Holy cats! Just look at the amazing @inkstonebooks.bsky.social edition of THE CALAMITIES by @chuckwendig.bsky.social. This thing is incredible!

Super Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto to be honored by the emperor of Japan on this year's Culture Day.
Yes! Finally! Other people have read Revival, amazing. Revival is the only @stephenking.bsky.social that has ever scared me. The ending is so incredibly bleak I had to re-read the last quarter of the book twice to make sure I had understood what I thought I had understood.
MONSTERA: 5 stars. I want a whole novel with Lucy and Saskia, @delilahsdawson.bsky.social!
Happy birthday to all-round amazing person @delilahsdawson.bsky.social! Go read her books. Maybe get MONSTERA if you haven’t yet because I’m reading it at the moment and it rules. Also: WHAT a cover.
Answers, I have found them! Gawd bless ancient blogs... www.4thdoctorcostume.com/2013/06/cost...
Okay Whonerds like @eddierobson.bsky.social @andreworton.bsky.social and others: when did the Fourth Doctor start wearing buccaneer boots? Is it The Invasion of Time? Seems to be shoes right up until then, unless I've missed something?

My podcast started last year, and I didn't read tie-ins and didn't consider doing a whole season on them - ahem, wherever you get your podcasts! However, covering an original trilogy by @adamchristopher.me and his tie-in work opened up a world of so many genres, and my lovely tie-in season was born.
Terrance Dicks' Doctor Who novelisations are the reason so many people my age fell in love with reading. Tie in books create life long readers and they are written by incredible authors who capture and expand on the stories that we know.
Terrance Dicks is why I am an author. One of the greatest small moments of my life was when he passed a good luck message on to me, via @paulcornell.bsky.social, at the launch of my debut novel Empire State at Forbidden Planet London back in 2012.

Great thread. Also, writing for something that you love is honestly amazing. I’ve created real, canonical Star Wars? I named (and effectively created) Rey’s parents? And became a New York Times Bestseller? Holy crackers, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that happening.
There is a doofus currently arguing here that no "creative talent" would choose to write tie-ins, and since I just did a panel this weekend on why creative talents choose to write IP, here are a few reasons. Non-financial reasons, for fun and because frankly it usually doesn't pay that well.
ふわふわ helped me get through archery tonight with a sore shoulder from my recovering injury. Seriously, I focussed on the word as I drew and it helped me focus on my form. I think a lot of situations in life could be improved by a little ふわふわ.
OK the best Japanese word is ふわふわ (fuwafuwa, which can be an adjective meaning fluffy, or an adverb meaning lightly or buoyantly floating). Looks absolutely badass in katakana as フワフワ.

Alison says it all. Radio 4 Extra wasn’t an apocryphal service for superannuated listeners. It was a cultural resource and a reminder of a braver, expertly curated BBC.
I'll miss Radio 4extra. I don't think its listeners will transfer to seeking the same stuff out on BBC Sounds. That's not how it works. The station introduces listeners to stuff. And I'm using the plural because individual algorithms are a lonely replacement. I don't want to be a listener (singular)

They are gonna vibe code the payments too (aka we aren’t getting a cent, change my mind).
The exciting part about the Anthropic vibe coded settlement backend is that no matter how many times you fix your information, the same broken bits will reappear. It will be total madness. The entire backend is broken because, AS THEY TOLD ME ON THE PHONE, they know it is because they vibe coded.
