My first (@ 4 yrs old) Science Fiction book (& series):

"Tom Swift Jr. & His Flying Lab" by Victor Appleton II

"Tom Swift and His Flying Lab" was published in 1954 by Grosset & Dunlap.

Later editions transitioned to picture covers, where the artwork was printed directly onto the hardcover, eliminating the need for a separate dust jacket.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Swif.






@scifiscifi group

Hardback cover (printed directly on the cover) of Tom Swift and His Flying Lab, part of The New Tom Swift Jr. Adventures, written by Victor Appleton II. The artwork is a striking mid-century illustration featuring Tom Swift, a young, clean-cut, blond-haired protagonist with a confident smile. He wears a short-sleeved, collared shirt with blue and white stripes, embodying the all-American boy-inventor archetype. His expression is one of enthusiasm and curiosity, fitting for the adventurous spirit of the series.

Behind Tom is the centerpiece of the cover—the Flying Lab, a futuristic aircraft with a sleek silver body and an aerodynamic design. The plane has a long, pointed nose, wide wings, and a curved, streamlined fuselage, giving it a distinctly advanced appearance. It also features rows of rivets and what appears to be an array of scientific instruments or mechanical features along its body. A set of rocket-like thrusters or engines emits a bright, fiery exhaust, suggesting high speed and cutting-edge propulsion technology. The background consists of a cosmic scene with deep blues and purples, depicting swirling clouds and a star-studded sky, reinforcing the book's theme of scientific exploration and technological progress.

In my Canadian grocery store, every sign in the produce dept. shows place of origin. Local potatoes: gone. US potatoes: sitting there. Mexico tomatoes: gone. US tomatoes: sitting there. Local apples: gone. US apples: sitting there. Etc. Etc. Same in cheese dept. and meat dept. and at pet store. On a similar note: friend cancelled her trip to Las Vegas to go to Vancouver, instead. I’m proud of us. That man shit the bed, he really did.

Jedes Jahr gibt es ca. 800 Abbiegeunfälle zwischen LKW und . Ca. 20 Radfahrende werden dabei getötet, in vielen Fällen Kinder (bmdv.bund.de/SharedDocs/DE/Art). Ein kann das in 90% der Fälle verhindern. Trotzdem ist dies in Altfahrzeugen keine Pflicht.
Ich warte immer noch auf Sondersendungen und Reden von und Co, dass es nun endlich reicht und wir Sicherheit für unsere Kinder schaffen müssen. Das interessiert aber niemanden, da man LKW nicht rassistisch ausgrenzen kann.

I did a static analysis on the DeepSeek Android app

tl;dr it does aggressive device fingerprinting, root detection, has anti-tampering mechanisms, bundles native code and has dynamic code loading and execution facilities

none of which should be necessary for an app like this

Maya Angelou's maxim that "people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel" is usually contextualized as a kind of feel-good inspirational message, whereas I'm increasingly convinced it was actually the direst of prophesies

I have a lot of ideas when it comes to worldbuilding. I have always been a fan of science fantasy (combining both tropes from sci-fi and fantasy), but I feel like most works haven't embraced both genres to their fullest potential. The original Phantasy Star series is probably the closest because they weren't afraid to actually call magic "magic" instead of "the force" like in Star Wars.

I plan on using these ideas for my dream game (or series), but I'm posting these worldbuilding concepts anyway just in case I never get to creating the game, and I just don't care if other people use these ideas. They most likely have already been done before (in fact I know some of these ideas have been done before). I'm using AI to generate these concepts because I suck at drawing.

Anyway let's begin. First off, I think alien worlds should combine both ancient technology, futuristic technology, and everything in between. Technological progress isn't a linear path, so you shouldn't assume that aliens go through the same technological progression as we do. They might be flying interstellar ships, but they might also still be wielding swords and bows. So you can have spaceships flying over medieval style villages or even mudhuts. Star Wars has basically already popularized this, so this should be a no-brainer, but you can always take it a step further. For example, replace lightsabers with steel swords while still having space travel.

Hello everyone! 👋 My name is Regina, I am a folk musician playing the nyckelharpa (a Swedish bowed instrument with sympathetic strings) based in Germany. When I'm not playing tunes or travelling to a gig, I can most likely be found in nature, growing plants, baking bread, doing pottery, befrieding cats or crafting things. It's lovely to be here and I'm looking forward to get to know lots of cool people here on Mastodon! Feel free to ask me anything! 🌱

Two instrument cases are lying on the floor, open. In each one there is a nyckelharpa, a traditional Swedish bowed instrument with a keybox made of wooden tangents and a long slim body.In the foreground there is a bouquet of summer flowers, daisies, love-in-a-mist and ladies finger. There is a big basket full of homegrown strawberries in the background.A ceramic mug I made with a mushroom motif is standing nestled in moss and fallen leaves on the forest floor.

I write stuff - histories of money and fiduciary colonialism - that most people understand is capital i Important, but that few actually want to read. If it were up to me, I'd include this quote from a colleague on all promotional materials for everything I ever publish:

"It was actually really well written - not nearly as dull as I expected."
