I’ve grown to love various paths and trees in my neighborhood, as I’ve gone on many convalescent walks in the past year.

Here’s the same path on July 4 (2025), Nov 22 (2025) and Feb 1 (2026).

As we chopped and shoveled the snow and ice, I kept being reminded that most of the water in the solar system is rock.

Any one of these daily atrocities should result in a full congressional investigation and a disbanding of the agency. The fact that it’s all just shrugged off by those with the power to stop it is a national disgrace.
ICE ended up returning the man, Saly, after realizing he’s a fucking US citizen with no criminal record, per his sister-in-law. These fucking animals.

The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O’Farrell.

The reader swiftly identifies with Lucrezia, partly, because both are trying to understand what is occurring around them.

And knowing what happened to the historical Lucrezia, both officially & rumored, generates real suspense.

Wow! What a book!

I highly recommend More Everything Forever by @adambecker.bsky.social.

It’s about AI and the promise/threat/blunder/bluff/ waste of AGI efforts.

And about how the misreading of #ScienceFiction has influenced the technocrat industry.

More Everything Forever
This "wild and utterly engaging narrative" (Melanie Mitchell) shows why Silicon Valley’s heartless, baseless, and foolish obsessions—with escaping death,...

@npr.org , in your annual Books We Love, you include "What We Can Know" (Ian McEwan) and "Vera, or Faith" (Gary Schteyngart).

Great choices!

Buy why don't you include these in your SF/Fantasy filter? They are obviously #ScienceFiction.

Are you gonna do a best of science fiction books in 2025?

You’ve done a 10 best of almost every other facet of publishing.

You did SF in 2024.

Why not 2025?

I can only assume you think it was all crap….

You can tell that LotR was written by an academic because Gandalf disappears for like 20 years doing research to answer a single question.

Really American

This is insane: FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr announced that they will be hiring a "bias monitor" at CBS "who would report directly to the President." State run TV is officially here.

Make sure everyone sees this.
