Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

Charles de Lint is one of my favourite authors. Newford is an excellent place I recommend you visit.

Researchers praise β€˜stunning’ results of new prostate cancer treatment Early trials of the drug VIR-5500 showed it shrinking tumours in some patients

I have this cancer in remission (nearly 20 years now). I'm convinced the only reason I'm still alive is because I was (for a neuro knock-on catastrophe) treated with immunoglobulin donated by strangers. Their antibodies taught mine, got me out of a wheelchair.

Social media created this nonsense idea that not exposing yourself to hatred is isolationist. Choosing to not spend your free time with bigots isn’t living in a bubble. I don’t need to know what’s going on at X. I won’t be smarter or more knowledgeable or empathic by being there. Neither will you.

Dan Simmons, noted racist, has died. He wrote Hyperion, which contained a good short story and then a lot of other words, which many of us read anyway because it was the Nineties and Waldenbooks had a limited science fiction section.

Just letting everyone know this is not news to me! This has been being warned about on the wishlist page for months now, and placing 3rd party items on your lists has always been problematic. I recommend trying not to & also not letting people send things not on your list, if you need one!

My 5-year-old last night: "Dada, tell me about England."

Me: "There's now a tunnel under the channel separating England and France. It's called the Chunnel, and you can take a train through it!"

5-yo: "That's too scary."

Percy Shelley’s journal: last night I awoke to a creature watching me through my bedroom window with a face white as chalk

Mary Shelley’s journal: read four books today. Learning three languages while discussing astronomy and mathematics. Also Percy tried to chase his creature again.

A recent Science paper claims a massive star in Andromeda basically vanished without first exploding in a supernova.

According to the authors, the star’s core collapsed directly into a stellar-mass black hole.
