I enjoyed meeting Rod Roddenberry at LAcon this year on two panels. An article he wrote for the LA times. #startrek #LAcon

And so ends my #lacon #laconV #worldcon #replay. See you all next year at @montrealworldcon27.bsky.social!

Got kinda bored with this panel, I think a combination of the approach to the topic and the specific people chosen to be on it. Anyway, that's it for tonight. Back again tomorrow with the last Sunday session on my list and a few Monday sessions from the final half-day of #lacon.

Hey, it's a quiet September evening, supper is done, I guess it's time for another #worldcon #lacon #replay thread! Starting tonight with "Alternative Energy: Tools to Switch on Better Power", featuring Arkady Martine, Geoffrey Landis, and three people I don't recognize.

OK, moooooving on, #lacon did a series of events for the finalists in each of this year's prose awards. The one for the Astounding Award for Best New Writer was moderated by @matociquala.bsky.social. Of course now we know who won, but it's still interesting to see the preview. #worldcon #replay

Bar so low I could roll my chair right over it and they STILL fucked it up #lacon #worldcon SHAAAAAAAME

Absolutely shameful non-response from the #LACon folks here. Mari was one of the first people to welcome me and make me feel like a part of the community at my first worldcon. It's a stain on our community that she was made to feel so unwelcome this year.

Jeez folks, sort yourselves #WorldCon #LACon !!!
Accessibility MATTERS

#lacon #worldcon this is a shitty way to handle a legitimate issue. It’s a shitty way to treat guests and participants.

One week later, I have an official response from #LACon #Worldcon!

I thought all of you should see the entire thing:

"Summary: Walking participants only

Action Taken: Noted by Listeners team

Current Status: CLOSED"

A number of slide presentations in this panel but it's impossible to see them on the stream due to the room lights. Not sure why tech didn't switch to a direct capture. #worldcon #lacon #replay

Moving on to "Voyager at 50" with a panel full of JPL people. #worldcon #lacon #replay

Bennett again: "You have to recognize, you're not going to fix your local HOA with your fantasy story." #worldcon #lacon #replay

Tail end of this panel and Bennett calls out @costasamaras.com and @jessedjenkins.com as non-fiction writers to pay attention to! #worldcon #lacon #replay

Bennett adds an anecdote about grocery stores in 2020-21 being unable to stock their shelves because there were no pallets, because there weren't enough fasteners (screws) to assemble them. (I don't remember hearing this one but it doesn't seem implausible.) #worldcon #lacon #replay

Also Clough: "If you could contrive to be immortal, then you'd never have to hand down your power; you could just go through and keep on skating, and that's kinda scary to think about." #worldcon #lacon #replay

Since I didn't got out for a ride, I continued my daily #LAcon #worldcon event replays with the Saturday morning "Future Worldcon Q&A" session, which is a fixture at Worldcons. I'm already a member of @montrealworldcon27.bsky.social, I know I won't be attending Brisbane, just signed up for Dublin.
