I hope everybody who even *thinks* about suggesting we go back to the high-risk healthcare pool situation is diagnosed with a pre-existing condition tonight.

Time for GUILLERMO DEL TORO'S FRANKENSTEIN DISCOURSE!
I keep seeing people worry about whether del Toro properly did justice to Mary Shelley. And I have to ask: why is that del Toro's job more than anyone else's?
And also, didn't he?
And also, how could he? He's not a mother. 1/

This essay is really good. And absolutely reflects my experiences.
This fantastic essay by @maxgladstone.bsky.social precisely and elegantly captures the feeling that the Internet has moved beyond "eternal September," but as a natural consequence of its attention capitalizing nature.

Every time the Belgariad comes up - and it's a series that for all its flaws was loved by a LOT of people in its day, including me - SOMEONE ends up being one of the Unlucky 10,000 learning for the first time how horrible the Eddings' were. I don't enjoy that, but I do think it's important to know.
David Eddings has a US Kindle book on sale today, and I won't be getting it for two reasons: first, he's a mediocre writer at best, and everything after the Belgariad didn't even reach that level; and second, he and his wife abused their adopted children so badly they were convicted for it.

This entire thread. All of it. Read it. Now.
"What should poor people be allowed to eat?" seems to be a burning question for those who aren't poor, have never been poor, and can afford to eat what they like, but want to keep poor people from eating anything that tastes really good. "No fresh meat," said Iowa, a few years ago.

I built an entire KALLAX unit today. Complete with base and two drawer inserts (well, I need to build drawer unit #2 tomorrow) and I love it. All the books I’m reading are organized there’s space for my journals, all my misc medical stuff, etc. so much more cozy than before.

I hate my local hospital so very much. This time it involves a convoluted billing mess caused by them trying to strong arm me out of $750/month which I DO NOT HAVE.

The far right has long fantasized about killing non-white people using images of zombie hordes. Now it’s official government policy.
For those unfamiliar with the Halo games, the Flood is a parasitic alien lifeform so bad that superweapons known as Halos were built as a last resort to kill all sentient life in the galaxy in an effort to stop them. And the official DHS page is memeing about it while referring to immigrants. Vile.

what we’re seeing is not the expression of innate stupidity but instead the result of a massive and well-funded campaign that has worked for many decades to delude people into serving the interests of the rich and powerful

There are any number of good and true things to be said about Amal's writing, but I would like to specifically say, man, no one knows their way around a semicolon like her. If you love beautiful, magical prose threaded into quality stories, you are going to want this book.
Absolutely thrilled to share the cover to next year's short story collection coming out from @tordotcom.bsky.social! I'm obsessed with it!
Comes out March 24, 2026, but you can pre-order it now wherever you like getting your books! Here's Macmillan's link.

While this speech isn't specifically about Trek, the erasure of women is relevant.
Plus, I haven't posted it in a bit.
Anyway, enjoy Martha Wells' 2017 speech on the erasure of women from the history of sff.
It's a banger.
