In case you were wondering, Tattoine in the #StarWars saga was likely a coplanar circumbinary planet. https://t.co/xbKoGVw72L

Just discovered that famous Canadian singer Neil Young has written a #scifi novel, Maybe the spaceship named Heart of Gold from HHGTG is not such a coincidence! https://t.co/7Q4ltwKbQM

The closer you analyze it, the only place that makes sense for humans to colonize in our solar system is Saturn’s moon Titan. https://t.co/mCPVfQMQtS

Because people choose #scifi and #fanstasy #books based on where they are set, here are five stories that take place in #Toronto.

And they are…?
Not seeing the list.

SETI@home is shutting down after 21 years and I can’t believe that I signed up with them that long ago. Back when this site was a dial-up BBS, we even had a TEOTU group signed up. Guess I’ll have to find another project to donate my spare processing cycles to. https://t.co/7JV9MI1xGM

Unless you want mankind to be annihilated, we probably shouldn’t colonize outer space. https://t.co/zzOFTcS3nr

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

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.

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!
