This just in: Dystopian science fiction will no longer be sold or streamed in the San Francisco Bay Area or Silicon Valley due to the high risk of it inspiring new tech startups. #tech #scifi

@annaleen Further injunctions have been laid against @pluralistic and @cstross coexisting in the same Bay Area coffee shop due to possible Spontaneous Singularity Events or Cthonic intrusions.

@cautionwip @annaleen @pluralistic Luckily I was last in the Bay Area in 2016, and am unlikely to return any time soon (ahem: pandemics ain't over).

Hey there! Incidentally, I think we first met IRL at WorldCon in Mtl 2009 at a barcon. Cory dropped you in a seat and said something to the effect of “this is my friend Charlie!” and I hadn’t encountered your work at that point. :) it was awkward and I’ve since devoured and adored your various canon.Thankfully no NerdRapture. And yah. Pretty sure the pandemic ain’t going nowhere. :(
