There's something about this paragraph in Artificial Condition that makes me reread it a hundred times before I move on:
One by one the file downloads had stopped. One had signaled that it would try to decoy SecUnit attention away from the others, and three acknowledged. One had heard screams from the control center and diverted there to try to save the humans trapped inside, and two acknowledged. One had stayed at the entrance to a corridor to try to buy time to reach SecSystem, and one acknowledged. One reported reaching SecSystem, then nothing.
There's something in the repetition of the word "one," the way it's used to count the loss of life. But also how the word invokes individuality in a series that has so much commentary about personhood. Each ONE makes decisions based on the changing situation. And each time ONE acts, ONE is lost, and every loss hurts so much.
Idk man (gender neutral), I've read this book 17 thousand times but I still need to go stand in the corner and have an emotion.

Voyager 1 got a software update that fixed it, 22 light-hours away. I love the photo of the oldtimers cheering.

I don't know where I read it but one of the best quotes I've ever read about the nature of sci-fi was "A good sci-fi story is one that predicts not the car but the traffic jam"

why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?
I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail

Comparing the rotations of objects in the Solar System. Just look at them lol.✨🪐
To everyone that's confused, the planet Venus rotates very very slowly, with a single revolution taking about 243 Earth days, and Mercury rotates slowly, but not as slow as Venus.

It just occurred to me that there might be people out there who don’t know about the Amok Time opera. And the second I realized there might be people out there who don’t know about the Amok Time opera I realized I had to um… fix that.

At the gate for my flight home from visiting friends and there's a woman here with a service Shiba Inu. No pics because he has a Do Not Disturb vest and taking pics of strangers is illegal but I need to stress how ON DUTY this animal is. Ears up. Eyes doing Lazer scans of everything. Examining everyone who passes within 10ft like a security guard. Ass planted on her feet. I have never seen a dog with such intense chivalric guardian energy before. He has tiny eyebrows and they are FURROWED with concentration.
