95% of my fiction reading is in the SF&F&H range but I read the (gloriously titled) Heat 2 by Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner last year and was blown away, in part because I was reading something set in our real world. Yes it’s still crime fiction but that’s like realistic literature for me

Carters AG; it became a problem for Reagan but only at like 2 or 3 days at a time. The mammoth shutdowns of the last decade are a new thing. And must surely cause real economic damage?

There are many subtle and complex arguments one can have about the future of the BBC — but I guarantee you that no other channel or streaming service will be as committed to factual programming, children’s education, history shows, religious discussion, poetry, arts, or state of the nation debate
