      66/ I strongly agree with this! ...and this is why I was saying that it's better to read a curated selection of classics than to concentrate on reading things merely because they're "recent". Reading award winners of all yrs > reading random 2020 bookshttps://twitter.com/doctorflopsy/status/1290753611794808834 …

      Most fiction of any genre published at any time is garbage. I’d say 90% of first printing books are a waste of your time to read. People get rose-colored glasses bc they forget they things no one recommend or they put down after one page. Probably meant most of the popular SF. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1289983463567720449 …

      67/ That's not remotely what I said. I made an observation about distribution, not a causal argument. Please pay attention and engage constructively ; strawmen are boring.https://twitter.com/sharagodwinson/status/1290755300396417024 …

      Yay! You added me to the Neverending Twitter Thread! Thank you Michael Ende of Twitter. Not...evenly distributed... this is a really bad take. You're suggesting that greatness can only be attributed to works older works because: time = greatness. It does not. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290752679359242248 …

      68/ Still chuckling that I made an SJW mad by agreeing with Heinlein that some women are smart / good at things and enjoy sex.

      70/ I'm not making that claim, necessarily, but it's certainly not IMPOSSIBLE to make that claim.https://twitter.com/doctorflopsy/status/1290756614035771392 …

      You can’t jump from 90% only award winners (which is certainly less than 1%). You’d be better off doing bestsellers if you want an accurate overview of good writing. My point was, it’s impossible to support the claim that SF of any era is better written. https://twitter.com/morlockp/status/1290754057733312513?s=21 … https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290754057733312513 …

      71/ why, exactly, Sir Kevin the White Knight, should I re-read that? Are you upset that I had the temerity to civilly disagree with a female interlocutor, and use a book written by a female author as my cite?https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/1290768713520750603 …

      Hi, perhaps you should reread the bit in The Moon is a Harsh Mistress about what happens to yahoos who don't respect women's right to refuse consent.

      72/ we've got a bluecheck tagging in I guess I'm a reactionary for saying that SF authors wrote, on average BETTER sf about gender issues, race, trans, etc. in the 1970s (when editors selected on merit) than in the 2020s (when they don't)https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1290770912975912960 …

      74/ I didn't say "no", I said "all but". Which, if you're familiar with the English language, you know means "nearly". Jeff Vandermeer is a great author. John Scalzi ... also, yes, writes.https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1290772169899888643 …

      no white men publish in sf anymore. this is a true thing. Jeff Vandermeer and John Scalzi don't exist. (they're both heavily influenced by golden era sf too, if that's your poison.) https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1289984815362498567 …

      75/ you still haven't answered the question, Sir Kevin. Why, out of nowhere, did you jump in and tell me that I need to read about people who don't respect women's rights? Something I tweeted, one presumes? Please like to what I said.https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/1290772492366295041 …

      No, I was wrong. You should read Among Others all the way through until you get to the Heinlein bit, then stop, think about yourself, and finish it.
