To quote Akemi: “Dennit!”.  I prepped my weekly Amazing Covers post last night to save time today but between yesterday and this afternoon, it seems to have completely disappeared.  Wordpress ate my homework!

Amazon is keeping a tight lid on news out of the Stargate writers’ room, but I can report that we ordered Thai for lunch today and that the crispy pork belly that accompanied by Ga-Prao was a little bouncy.  Also, two new hot sauces were added to the kitchen arsenal today.

I spoke to Martin Gero, our showrunner, today and can let you know information is coming!  You just need to be a little more patient…

In other news of note, yesterday a homeless man threatened to stab me.  Not sure why, exactly, but I suspect it may have been a case of mistaken identity.  To be fair, it was a little late (around 5 pm which, in L.A., is the new 10 pm) so I should be mindful the time next time I venture out.

Criminal threatening aside, we’re really enjoying L.A.and have even established a little routine that sees us get up at the crack of dawn to take Sharky for a walk and visit a dog-friendly cafe every morning before I head to work.  Meanwhile, I’ve abandoned Uber in favor of Waymo, the autonomous driving service that felt weird my first ride but has quickly become my favorite mode of travel.  I look forward to a future where I can travel anywhere without having to socialize with a single human being.

Speaking of socializing, tomorrow, we’ll be having lunch with two of our favorite locals, Yael Tygiel and Tauri Jay Miller.  Looking forward to catching up with them.

Finally, I’m struggling through my tenth 2026 sci-fi release.  Yet another underwhelming read.  Given the slog, I think 100 will end up being a respectable reading goal for this year.  As always, if you come across an awesome 2026 sci-fi release you loved, do tell!
