Apropos of nothing at all, I am once again gonna mention that Flights of Foundry registration is open. Just gonna slide this across the table and remind folks, conventions don't have to be awful and have multiple face-palm moments a year. I promise.

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

I have been up and working since 6am. Just received the sweetest email from a reader and have been basking in the glow of that for a solid 10 minutes. My first brain-silent moment of the day. Tell people when you like their stuff. It is always right on time.

When I explain this cult to US colleagues in shorthand, it's "Proud Boys as if led by Jim Jones." (I grew up one neighborhood over from Jones's church.) JC: “In over three decades of journalism, I've never talked to so many people as afraid as the women I encountered in this investigation.”

We installed a new (functional!) light fixture at my desk and I can confirm that it's embarrassing that I spent mumble number of years without it.

There was this little place in La Paz where we'd get huevos and they had the most transcendent flour tortillas. Fluffy, crêpey things that made me understand why flour tortillas exist.

This ultra-small generator is designed to harness energy from even the smallest rivers, like those flowing through urban areas between homes. It can power street lights, offering a sustainable solution for remote or urban communities to generate their own electricity.

💯 This is cruel, exploitative behaviour, even when it’s ostensibly being done to “educate.” Do not do this.

This is an excellent explainer about how the arts works financially using publishing as the exemplar, and a perfect illustration of why the arts (and everyone!) needs universal basic income.

THIS. Also, has any news outlet noted that Winston Peters has the dubious distinction of being the only MP who voted against Homosexual Law Reform, the Human Rights Amendment Act AND Marriage Equality. So yeah, "protecting women and girls" my double wide arse.

Has anyone ever said "My rights are a distraction?" It's always someone else's rights, right?

Until it comes out of the biscuit tin, it's not introduced, it's just ineffectual culture war posing to poison the discourse and get them airtime among journalists who don't know how Parliament works.

Finally, an easy way to explain the difference between Star Wars and Star Trek: One has Werner Herzog demanding a magic baby The other has David Cronenberg explaining cosmic science politics

Yo! This book is five kilograms of awesome in a 2kg sack. An anti-carceral giants-in-a-spaceship tour de force. Literary SF at its best.
