Podcast up!The 12th SF Hall of Fame episode covers Judith Merril's 1948 classic "That Only a Mother." I am joined by two SF academics Patrick B. Sharp and Audrey Taylor. We talk about the amazing history of Judith Merril, how she slipped this story past John W. Campbell and the themes of the story.

Didn't know about this Roger Corman-produced Fantastic Four movie from 1994 until last night. And now it's on YouTube! I love low-budget Corman stuff, so this should be fun to watch over the holiday break... youtu.be/4tbXTRvYnJk?...

Watched a great film noir starring Lucille Ball last night on Kanopy called Lured. Just found it on YouTube as well... kind of a funny romance version of a film noir, and very entertaining. youtu.be/ToG_vxOVl48?...

I’m still amazed people think Project 2025 isn’t going to happen. Nobody writes a 920 page manifesto and then at the very end says, “just kidding!”

A lot of folks are giving up in advance. Capitulating before a single skirmish.
Well, not this old warrior. I’ve seen much worse from the U.S. government in my day. I’m concerned for our country, but not a bit scared of these miscreants. I’m ready to do my part.

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Going to order all my books from places like Vromans in Pasadena from now on (one of our best local bookshops). Getting ready to read a book I'm long overdue to read, A Door Into Ocean by Joan Slonczewski, who I was lucky enough to meet at SFAM 2024.
