Science Fictional 12 years, 4 months agoSince the internet is magical and made of awesome, I think we should all link stories that are available online! There used to be a GREAT short story collection on the SciFi channel’s website, back before they were Syfy, but it’s not up these days. There are still lots of options though! I’ll post some stuff, and you guys should post stuff…[Read more]

This is one of my favorite short stories of all time – and it was written in 1909! http://archive.ncsa.illinois.edu/prajlich/forster.html (Also, E.M. Forster was a gay man – his novel Maurice, which was about being gay in early 20th century England, wasn’t published until after his death.) It predicts the Internet!
Then there’s Charles Stross’s…[Read more]

I love Charles Stross, and Accelerando! Have you read The Atrocity Archives? Sooo good! I don’t want to give it away if you haven’t read it, but it’s a Lovecraftian horror/sf thing. For some reason the first one you linked won’t work, do you have another source for it?
-
Hmm, their server must have gone down! Here is another source (you have to download it instead of reading in the browser, but they have .pdfs) http://www.manybooks.net/titles/forstereother07machine_stops.html
-
I really enjoyed this! It’s pretty amazing how prescient it is.

-
Oh, and how could I forget Clarkesworld?! http://clarkesworldmagazine.com/ New stories monthly! And there’s the Baen free library: http://www.baen.com/library/ (mostly tend towards military SF which isn’t really my bag, but others might be interested!)
-
Yes! I love Clarkesworld! The newer link to that story works, I’ll check it out today. Here are some other links to sites with a bunch of SF stories:
http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/index.htm
http://freesfonline.de/index.html
And this isn’t stuff you can read, but here is an awesome awesome SF radio series from the 1950’s that you can listen to…[Read more]-
Also, I want to focus on giving people specific recommendations, so I’ll try to think of some really good ones from those sites, otherwise I feel like they might be a little overwhelming.

group for riese to ask people questions about things/information she needs for some post 12 years, 4 months agowhat’s a stupid thing that ppl do on facebook, like how people used to throw vampires or whatever it was, is there still shit like that
-
poking
-
”liking” dozens of dumb quotes at a time. i.e, http://www.fblike.net/ constantly sending game invites. orrrr invites to events you might really want to attend if they weren’t happening in a completely different city/country. constantly changing relationship statuses (i don’t really talk to anyone who does that anymore, but it used to be a thing)
-
those “do you think (your name) is smart/attractive/funny click here to unlock the answer” spam things. “like my status and i’ll tell you (some pointless bit of trivia)” type updates. idk if i’m on the right track here
-
UGH and then there isn’t even an answer behind it.
-
i hate that shit :.|
-
-
-
bumper stickers used to be a thing. also games like mafia wars/frontierville/farmville. i think they’re dying down? or maybe it’s because i block them all i don’t notice anymore.
-
I think everything about Facebook is stupid, but that may be because I’m turning into a cranky old fogey.
I think Farmville-type games have got to be the worst, though. “Games” where the prize is to play less of the game, which incorporate guilt and nagging your supposed friends constantly? No thank you. -
posting about illegal stuff you did and/or the affair you are having.
-
Near hourly status updates, all day, everyday – these people get blocked from my newsfeed. Farmville, and other similar games – and sending me invites to any of these things. People who constantly post WAY TMI about their relationships/current emotional state. People who seem to change their relationship status on a near daily basis. People who…[Read more]

group for riese to ask people questions about things/information she needs for some post 12 years, 4 months agowhat was that photo shoot where lindsay lohan was really fucked up and i think said something weird about samantha ronson? it was like in 2009 or 2010 and i can’t remember who it was for, she was like sort of stumbling around and was like upset because she wanted to leave and go out after being really late
-
here’s this one from 2010 for the show “Double Exposure”: http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/marc_malkin/b187374_lindsay_lohan_was_10_hours_late_photo.html
nothing about sam ronson though.-
no there’s like a video – – i remember not knowing about it at the time, and then finding it recently and talking to someone about it on g-chat and i was like “how did i miss this?” because i’d sort of always said she was probably fine and people were exaggerating
-
-
ummm…is it the one where they mention some party and she says ‘and sam can dj’? Or the Elle one where she was 12 hours late?
I remember that whole time and being of the same mind that people were exaggerating, I forget when I actually realized that yeah she was real fucked up…maybe when the whole Ronson visit/freakout happened.
