OK, I've started watching #plur1bus for real, now at ep 3.

And I'm shocked to find there's apparently nothing on #TheIncomparable about it? What (unofficial) Pluribus podcast do people listen to?

📖 Annalee Newitz: Automatic Noodle

I rarely manage to actually read new books - it's quite usual that I'm at least a year behind, catching up on some award season books. This was an exception. I heard @jsnell recommend Automatic Noodle during the most recent @incomparable book club episode and just went and got it straight away. And I'm really glad I did as it was excellent!

Four robots are rebooted in a flooding restaurant that used to be their workplace but has been abandoned by the shady owners. They decide to take over the running of the restaurant themselves and start to serve proper food instead of the crap they were forced to do before.

This is the simplistic, surface level description of the book, but it's also so much more than that. It is a story about a post war world, trauma, love, independence, and survival. And it's very much a book about prejudice and who gets to be considered an individual with rights.

An absolutely fantastic read! Jason mentioned this in the podcast by saying this might be an award shortlisted book next year, and I definitely hope he is right. It would definitely deserve it.

Don't let #TheBoyAndTheHeron / A Dark Totoro (#TheIncomparable #700) be your *first* episode of @incomparable

Just don't. 😂

Also, don't let it be your last! 🏆

Amazing to me that the Eglath's Angels #TTRPG actual play podcast on #TheIncomparable is still going.

Seven years, I think?
