Friends, if someone posts a fun thread about something, you are not actually required to bring up Trump. It isn’t mandatory! I realize that the political situation is deep and dark and dreadful, but that’s kinda why we need a few seconds a day untainted by it.

Most of Europe can fit into the state of Texas. We’re geographically massive. It only makes sense for us to prioritize interstate travel, but nah. You get a car! And you get a car! And YOU get a car! And for the wealthy: helicopters, private jets and rockets. 🚀 Good stuff, guys. Love it. 🙄🙄🙄

Back in 2018 I wrote a story about a super-advanced "Smart City" facing starvation. I feel like this story has only gotten more relevant since then, so I'm so happy that it's been republished at the new home of Future Tense Fiction: issues.org/futuretensef...

Fifteen years ago today, I began telling you all the story of Shaun and Georgia Mason, two young bloggers chasing the story of the century. FEED, the book that introduced them, was the first of my works nominated for the Hugo Award, and changed my life in a very real way.

This is straight up not how measles works. This isn't a political disagreement. This is false facts, and will get people killed. It already is.

This is simply not true. The number of independent bookstores in the USA doubled between 2016 and 2023. People open indie bookstores every day. We need to support them so they'll stay here. www.salon.com/2024/10/05/i...
