COVID pandemic enters 7th year with no end in sight.
"It's strange to think that the COVID-19 pandemic, which sent the world into lockdown 7 years ago never ended. It continues to kill and cripple us, to this day. We simply stopped talking about it."

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.
He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.
(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)

It was good! I'm not sure where you'd find zongzi in Seattle, but there must be some. Dim sum places, probably!

Definitely seems awesome. ^.^ I'll probably have the last of the zongzi a relative gave me tomorrow. They're bamboo-leaf-wrapped sticky rice packets with a bunch of good things inside.

You could technically make the sticky rice into congee but then why are you buying it ready-made when you could get the ingredients cheaper? x.x

It's been a while since I've had Chinese donuts but I think you're supposed to have 'em with congee, rice porridge, which would soften 'em up...

Some asteroids were mined for minerals, methane or water, some served as truck stops for traffic between the outer and inner planets.
Some of those became destinations in their own right, like asteroid 52692. Covered in hydroponic tuber farms, it was the home of the famous Scalzi Space Potato.

Okay as the original publisher is long since gone, here is a version of the (award winning at the time!) thing I wrote on the Pristina Airport incident back in the day.
Note Putin's role. Also worth it for this bit of sassiness by the Romanian Foreign Minister.

Reminder that Third Way is a Republican group attempting to pretend to be democrats to try and hamstring the left, and a good way to operate is to do the exact opposite of whatever they suggest.
ICE may be shooting people in the face, sending people to concentration camps, and illegally occupying our cities but, apparently, the Democrats think saying, "abolish ICE" is "emotional" and politically "lethal."

Important Reminder, Furriends! As we gear up for #FurCon2026, please keep this in mind: DO NOT check-in with the hotel apps. You must check in in-person at the counter. Checking in via the app will remove your reservation from our room block and you won't receive the con rate.
