It was a song that defined a generation — in fact, it spanned generations. Everyone knows it. It defied genres and captured the zeitgeist. So why not give it a listen … if only for old time’s sake?

Well. This is unexpected. We do get visitors to the school but they’re always planned for. And they don’t tend to be ambassadors from species in conflict. But there’s plenty of room and I’m sure we can get along just fine…

No one should go out on a night like this. But no one should be left out on a night like this either. Especially if they’ve crashed their spaceship. Doesn’t matter who they are. Or what planet they come from.

My first ever publication in Nature is out today, and my inner academic is 100% bouncing around with excitement.
PS - It's a short story. In @naturefutures.bsky.social. This is an incredible thing.

Sure, this could be a disaster, but we must ensure that information disseminated about the release of this fungus is accurate. Please log on and help keep the info page up to date! After all, it might not be the start of Doomsday…

The calculations did not lie. This time he was right — and he could prove it. At last, he was finally ready to present his work to the Royal Society and change the course of history. What could possibly go wrong?

Childhood. School. The happiest times of your life. Mostly. But sometimes things can be tricky. Sometimes you just need a friend — even if that friend is an alien from a distant planet…

There are good days in the lab. There are bad days in the lab. And then there are those days when you think things are heading in the right direction until reality shifts sideways and you come face to face with another version of you…

The talk was always going to spark debate — after all, the evidence on the bipedal monkeys is conflicting, at best. But the suggestions now being put forward are somewhat far-fetched. Could they really have done ALL of those things??

One of the many things you don’t expect to see at home is a younger, fitter version of yourself. And, if you did, the last thing you’d expect them to want to do is to kill you. So it would be nice if they put that knife down…

They don’t come back to Earth. The travel, the fighting — it all leaves them out of sync. Makes them ask what they fought for, when the world has changed so much. But he has returned. And he is trying. Does anything now make sense?

This will be a night you’ll never forget. It might be the end of the world — in fact, the end of the Solar System — but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. Sure, the Sun’s going out with bang - but so are we! So kick back and party!!

Some might say it’s a fresh twist on history. A chance to see what really happened, close up and personal. So why does it seem to be more like a holiday in someone else’s misery? Surely time travel shouldn’t be like this?

It should have been easy — like every other mission. Follow. Capture. Disable.
But there was something strange about this target. Something different.
Something that could destroy everything …

Space travel is too easy now. Too fast. What you need to do is take the slow lane once in a while. Drink in the sights from the days before the teleport. See some attractions along the way. So why not come along for the ride?

A search. A scroll. A click on a link. Another rabbit hole on the Internet?
No. This is more. This is real. This is … something.
AI was never supposed to be like this. To do this.
But then, we were never supposed to do this to AI…

It was a potential treasure trove. Works of international significance all bequeathed to him in the will. The only problem was finding them. But maybe this wasn’t all that he’d inherited. Maybe the answer was hidden in his genes…

It truly is the food of the gods. A sensation that has gripped the world. Near-ubiquitous, it has become more than a simple choice. More than a lifestyle. It is life itself. But at what cost?
