Logo for Meanjin In 2028 Brisbane, each letter showing a picture of a speculative fiction-related image. The letter M contains an image of an Indigenous adventurer with a snake and a wooden walking stick, viewing a futuristic city with flying transport vehicles. The letters EAN contain an image of an Indigenous woman with long, curly hair, viewing the planets, stars, and constellations. The letters JIN contain an image of an Indigenous Elder in a canvas jacket wearing an Outback hat accompanied by three stylistic dingoes in a lush green Australian bush / forest. The snake's multi-coloured body weaves through the images from the M to the last N. The letter B is a dark purple swirl with many orange beast eyes, the letter R is a hovering UFO sending a beam of light down to the ground below, the letter I is a rocket blasting off, the letter S is an android, the letter B is an astronaut with a moon in the background sky, the letters A and N are of a spaceship flying over a red planet with another large orange planet in the sky behind it, and the letter E is a green Australian frog.

As for these two, Jessie Buckley is apparently up for an Oscar for a film I haven't seen. My view on her has gone from "Don't care who wins" to "anybody but her."

I would never force a partner to give up their pet or hobby. And pets rarely are a problem. If there is a problem, it's irresponsible owners. And that mainly applies to dogs, not cats.

On Sunday, I refuelled my car and paid 1.69 EUR for one liter of diesel, which was already a high price. Today, that same liter of diesel would have cost me 2.01 EUR. I'm in Germany BTW.

Back to the Edge of the Ruhrgebiet: Coraโ€™s Adventures at the 2026 Marchรฉ Noir Retro Fair in Dorsten, Part 1: Itโ€™s Roadtrip Time Onceย Again This year's Marchรฉ Noir Retro Fair took place on Sunday, March 1, in Dorsten on the northern edge of the Ruhrgebiet. I attended for first time last year (see my three part con report here) and enjoyed the experience, so I wanted to go again. Besides, Marchรฉ Noir has one of the coolest venues imaginable, the washing hall of a former coal mine.

There was a recession in the early 1990s. In Germany, unemployment was sky-high, particularly in East Germany, and Neo-Nazis were running rampant.

It probably wasn't as prominent in the US, whereas we not only had constant media coverage, but also thousands of refugees from the Balkan countries.

In Europe, the Balkan Wars marred the otherwise carefree 1990s. But after 9/11, everything took a downturn.

The washing hall of mine Fรผrst Leopold in Dorsten in the Ruhrgebiet, which is currently hosting the Marche Noir retro con. Originally, this was where the miners changed into their work clothes. Their regular clothes were attached to the cages and pulled to the ceiling. #Ruhrgebiet #Dorsten

For GenX as well, except that we got a brief window of hope between 1989 and the early to mid 1990s.

A fucking brilliant writer whose brain was eaten alive by 9/11, which qualifies as a tragedy.

Singapore would be a great location for a Worldcon. I'd definitely vote for it, even taking an 18 hour flight into account.
