I've never liked the the term multiculturalism. It makes more sense to me to talk about living in a rich culture or an impoverished one.

The lesson I am taking from the Epstein files is that if you have a mutually supportive network of a certain size and power, you can indeed affect the culture at large.
Imagine if some folks who weren't among the worst that humanity has to offer did something similar?

Amplifying Trump's threats to the midterms isn't helping anyone. The states at risk are well aware and are preparing. You can help by getting involved. Become a poll worker. Run for your local election board. You can do your part. Don't merely repeat Trump's threats.

His response to the studio when they tried to give him notes on that movie is one of my favorite Mel Brooks stories. He was determined to let Lynch cook.

Yup. This is also why I get annoyed when people start suggesting "golden age" science fiction titles to people who are new the genre and are asking for suggestions. You want to turn a modern 15-year-old off science fiction forever, recommend stories that were old when her grandparents were her age.
When people ask how to get into GA SF I always say that the right way is via some of those fat "Best Of" short fiction collections

The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time passes. Light, traveling as it does *at* C, doesn’t experience time. A photon is emitted from a distant star and absorbed by your eye in the same instant.

Just saw that a candidate for my county sheriff was on the Epstein list.
In fairness, I also saw a passing reference to a couple girls they buried in the desert somewhere near me, so I see why they might want to be close to local law enforcement.

Not just in our present distress, no one should run unopposed
Taylor Rehmet, a Democrat (& @runforsomething.net candidate!) flipped a state senate district in Texas that Trump had won by 17 points.
Expand your imagination. When great candidates rooted in community step up to lead, anything is possible.

I second everything John said here. I already knew Greg Ketter from DreamHaven Books was a good person so this really isn’t surprising, but at 70 he shouldn’t have to be walking through tear gas on a Minneapolis street to try to protect his neighbors. Abolish Ice.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com
