Raised by pirates aboard the ship Flying Buttress, educated on the Island of Gont in the Archipelago, but transferred to the ISS to study microgravity's effect on cerumen production. I block widely and often.

Nuzzi may be a joke or punchline , but she got into position by being constantly excused for being an abusive manipulative ass.
And falling back to the same schtick of being “seduced “ by men and”jealous es” by women

My most important service to solar system planetary science was being a part of the Science Definition Team (SDT), nearly a decade ago, that made the science case for an NASA Ice Giants Orbiter and Entry Probe. Check out our 2017 document: arxiv.org/abs/2511.13946

Bessent's not only hiding these docs, he bizarrely claimed Treasury has no role investigating them at all. It’s a lie. It's impossible someone with his background doesn’t know about Treasury's extensive role investigating the kinds of financial crimes Epstein must have been committing.

Great news that the Senate has passed the bill forcing the DOJ to release its Epstein file. Now Bondi must comply. But our work cannot stop there. We need to force the Treasury to release the Epstein bank records too. I have a bill to make that happen. FOLLOW THE MONEY.

Corruption right in front of your eyes:

2) DaVita drops $50K into his Super PAC.
3) Suddenly Bennet claims he “can’t do anything” on healthcare as Governor.
This is what bought-and-paid-for politics looks like.

(So very sorry for the editors who don't deserve any of this)
I'm in the current issue of Analog. I managed to negotiate to a contract I was willing to sign. Naively, I thought that established writers giving this feedback would eventually make a dent.
It hasn't. I don't know that it will. I just wrote to Trevor withdrawing a story I'd sold to him.

Did you read my post from last week about how contract woes caused me to withdraw an accepted story from F&SF, ending my 54-year quest to be published in that magazine? But wait (as the saying goes) — there's more! Scroll down at the link for an update. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...
