@simon I was about to suggest that we’ve all got a one way ticket 50 years into the future, if we just wait, but that supposes we survive another 50 years.

@fraggle I’m having a spot of health trouble atm (exotic Infection from holiday abroad) but otherwise stuff is good.

@InterzoneMag it’s definitely not as bold as print, but I do wonder how good IZ artwork would look on this
Promo shot of the kobo Clara colour

@fraggle @InterzoneMag ah, I’m already a kobo user so I don’t need to wait for a kindle version :)

@fraggle where are you working these days?

@fraggle @InterzoneMag i’d really like to try one. Might just take a punt, the 6” one is pretty cheap

Anyone a fan of the colour eink readers? Like the new kobos? I’m curious how good something like @InterzoneMag looks like on one

@InterzoneMag Hi! Did the IZ Story Club replace the IZ Discord? I've only just noticed it's not in my Discord server list. Thanks

@fraggle @mwl I feel this in my bones at the moment

@sil I feel you, been through this myself recently. Really frustrating. Related frustration: device-to-device restore failed for unknown reasons three times in a row. Backup to and restore from iCloud (with the two things sat in the sofa next to each other) worked.

Today I wanted to try some coding but I got a surprise cannula and couldn’t type, so I pen & papered it.

@mjg59 long covid in a can?

Anyone had a root canal? How long did it take from beginning to end?

@lproven it was a gift so I’m not sure what they paid for it luckily. I’m not prepared to risk it out and about commuting etc which is why I haven’t read it yet

@lproven I think I’m up to speed on fiction but not non-fiction. I’ve got this lovely thing on my shelf to read eventually https://www.kimstanleyrobinson.info/content/stans-kitchen

@lproven “What good climate-collapse SF should I be reading? “ pretty much all of KSR’s other novels! New York 2140 and Aurora are recent faves; going back a bit there’s the green earth trilogy and stories like “Venice drowned”
