Punk on Bus Lives!📻🚍Mar 29

"I don’t like a lot of the new Trek. He (Kurtzman), as a person, is a really nice guy. But at the same time, those shows are shit. He is a nice guy. But they didn’t accept my pitch so, you know, fuck ’em.”

It's amazing how much we've all learned in the past day what a right-wing POS Andy Weir is. I was planning on seeing Project Hail Mary, but there's no way Weir is ever getting my money again.

@punkonbuslives So, I've been watching other conversations about him, but to also know that he's shittin' on Trek like that because he's butthurt? lol, fucking dipshit. I hope he constantly steps on legos the remainder of his small and shitty life.

@punkonbuslives I've been watching the replies to this toot for recs for other great scifi books. Already put in one hold at the library, and will probably need to comb through for others to add to my wishlist for me to dig through later when I'm looking for my next read. Very encouraged because I've seen my favorite recent discovery, the Imperial Radch books by Ann Leckie pop up multiple times, so clearly these are people with good taste.

🤔Now I need to buy two IMAX tickets worth of sci-fi books written by authors that aren't anti-woke, just to put my part of the universe back in balance. 🤔Actually to properly balance things out, I have to keep reading new sci-fi books until I find one that I can recommend to thousands of people.

It's really too bad that he's been revealed to be a petty little shit, because I enjoyed the Martian and was looking forward to seeing PHM. Oh well. Anyone that makes a blanket statement that all of modern Trek is shit (except for SNW and LDS) is persona non grata to me.

@punkonbuslives I enjoyed The Martian as well. Both the book and the film. Before I left Audible I had a lot of credits to spend and I bought his two other books. I haven't listened to them yet - and I probably never will now. It was nice while it lasted, but I have better things to do with my time.

Like maybe finally re-read Ancillary Justice and then read the other books in that series.
