I’m officially out of touch with today’s #scifi scene. I just went through the list of 2019 Nebula Awards finalists and the only name I recognized was Ted Chiang’s! https://t.co/cRpE6jxHdS

Are you familiar with Star Wars’ “secret weapon?” And we’re not talking about the Death Star. https://t.co/EJ8cp49NVO

I remember playing in rocketship-shaped playgrounds when I was a kid. Here’s a photographic homage to those that remain. https://t.co/JnxdGjIbKi

Canadian #scifi author William Gibson thinks fewer people are interested in imagining the future. https://t.co/0p6DfZmhD0

The new US Space Force logo should look awfully familiar to #startrek fans. https://t.co/y3EElS0hmN

Reading about how the Aurora Awards have been fostering #Canada‘s #scifi community for 40 years. Sad to say that I’ve only read 5 of the best novel winners over those decades. https://t.co/uCiaHUYKfc

I only know Ed Emshwiller as a #scifi #pulp #artist, but apparently he was also something of an experimental filmmaker. https://t.co/IbCO2mOYqB

If the cover of the Summer 1950 issue of Fantastic Story Quarterly looks familiar, it’s because the Earle Bergey painting was also used for the cover of the Winter 1946 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories.

#LOTR fans will be charmed by these excerpts of Ian McKellen’s diaries of his time on set filming the trilogy. https://t.co/0GMAgo4aGk

This @wired story about the #scifi story “I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” is a must-read. https://t.co/hNsJwnKinN

The most consistently excellent part of the #StarWars saga is undoubtedly the musical scores composed by John Williams. https://t.co/nW4h6valfu

This is different. The CBC is launching a hip-hop #scifi series just for Black Futures Month. https://t.co/21Td4JkWVm

Wondering if the revelation that #scifi author Isaac Asimov was a serial groper means @Asimovs_SF will be changing their name in the future. https://t.co/VlKvp99Xri

Not sure if this is a ‘revelation’ as it seems it was common knowledge which also makes me doubt “Asimov’s” will change the magazine name now. But you never know.
I’m more curious if there will be other “Me Too” revelations regarding other SF authors of old.
In comicdom DC’s Julius “Julie” Schwartz was notorious for carrying little DC badges with him at all times so that when he met girls he could give them the badge while insisting to pin it on himself. Again, this was known to all who worked with him.

With the Lovecraft, John W. Campbell and Tiptree Awards all having been renamed recently for those authors’ transgressions, I would be surprised if there wasn’t some push for Asimov’s to do the same. I expect we’ll no longer see awards, magazines and the like named after people any more. They’re just too imperfect!

The gorgeous cover of this June 1951 issue of Thrilling Wonder Stories is by none other than the prolific and talented Earle Bergey. https://t.co/odjvmyVpCa

These are supposed to be the most anticipated #scifi movies of 2020, but the only one I’m anticipating is Dune. https://t.co/xyFnuaeDds

I always wondered how the women on these covers don’t need spacesuits. This lovely example of this paradox is by the prolific pulp artist Lawrence Stevens which graced the April 1949 cover of Super Science Stories. You can download a copy of the magazine at https://archive.org/details/Super_Science_Stories_v05n02_1949-04.

This opinion piece from @SYFYWIRE posits that the geeks have won and that we’re all #scifi and #fantasy fans now because of the popularity of movies like Avengers, Star Wars and Game of Thrones. Agree or disagree? https://t.co/mqRRG0myOg

Just wanted to draw some attention to this homage to Leslie Croutch, an early Canadian #scifi fan who probably deserves a bit more attention. https://t.co/q615gaQGTh

Any #scifi fan will tell you the genre is notoriously bad at predicting the future, but that’s not the reason why we read it. https://t.co/jlmdg52hjO

Wish I could figure out what’s happening in this illustration from the cover of a 1947 issue of Startling Stories! https://t.co/oLTBc
