Fantastic Four: First Steps but they’re literally toddlers taking their first steps. Reed Richards stretches only while horizontal in bed between his parents. Sue is invisible at bath time. Johnny turns into the human torch if you cut his food wrong, and Ben is just one of those weird ugly babies

Hyper is a remarkable novel by @agri.bsky.social recommended by @c4noff.bsky.social, whose @coffeehousepress.bsky.social subscription introduces books she might not ever find on her own. For both of us, Hyper is a happy discovery. I've reviewed it at readthinkdraw.substack.com/p/2nd-genera...

I would kill or die for Larry
A small operation in Oregon that hunts truffles with a trained dog has added an unpaid trainee. A cat named Larry accompanies the handler and the truffle dog into the woods every outing, works a patch of ground a little apart from them, and digs with tremendous confidence in places where there is nothing.
The handler says Larry has never found a truffle and shows no sign of understanding the assignment. He does not use scent the way the dog does and he does not respond when the dog makes a find.
He simply digs his own holes nearby and then inspects them. "He thinks he's on the team," the handler said. "He is emphatically not on the team."
