As we approach the end of the year, it's a great time to record things you love! Not just for the Hugo Awards, but in general. The rec sheet is a handy resource for nomination, but also at its heart a rec resource in a loud, busy media environment.

paul, this is a tweet about silicon valley failing to recognize scifi as being social critique and assuming they were prescriptions for what future society should look like rather than amplifications of social issues present at time of writing.

hope this helps!
"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

This is so so so awful. Rent is already crazy unaffordable WITH controls, and we've already lost a bunch of them
For Canadians living in Ontario...

Doug Ford, the Premier, is planning to shred tenant protections.

My uncle Jon gave me my first Tarot reading (& deck but that was much later!)
One time when I stayed over, he offered me a “Tiger’s Milk smoothie” which was probably fine if overly healthful to my preteen tastebuds but he also had a cat named Tiger

every friend I’ve caught up with since coming back to Toronto has talked about rent control and auto-month-to-month being the only reason they’re still able to live here. this proposed change will functionally make homeless every long-term tenant in the city. absolute insanity
At a press conference this afternoon, Attorney General Doug Downey said they want to move away from requiring "evergreen leases, that just go on with no end in sight":
