Well, the clocks have gone back. It's darker, it's cold, the weather is miserable. Time to activate hibernation mode, dig out the soft, warm sweaters, woolly socks, snuggly blankets, books, cake, hot chocolate and SAD lamp. Will be accepting invitations come March. Blanket fort going up.

Breaking news: censorship isn't just for banned books anymore. My musical Between the Lines was cancelled due to the comments of a single parent.
Author @jodipicoult.bsky.social is being banned in two mediums this fall — her books and now a high school musical.
“It’s devastating... kids who put in hundreds of hours of hard work had that torn away from them because of the objections of a single parent,” she says.

Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Tell Congress: Stop Trump's Plan to Let AI Deny Medicare Coverage
Donald Trump and Dr. Oz want to let Artificial Intelligence (AI) choose which procedures Medicare will cover for individual patients -- with AI companies being paid based on how much money they save by denying people’s coverage. This cruel ploy comes as Medicare faces an urgent funding crisis thanks to Republicans’ Big Ugly Bill. None of this “cost-saving” would be necessary if Trump and the GOP weren't driving up healthcare costs and starving our healthcare system of funds. Email Congress NOW: Demand that they stop AI-powered healthcare denials and use the upcoming funding deadline to restore healthcare.

Trump deported hundreds of Venezuelans to a Salvadoran megaprison earlier this year. On Friday, they were quietly swapped for 10 Americans jailed by Maduro.
The same men the U.S. claimed it couldn’t bring back are now part of a deal brokered behind closed doors.
