Last week, a resort kitten had gotten hit by a golf cart (photo of kin). Bartender took it home; vet told her that the injured leg might have to get amputated. We gave a big tip and said that we'd ask others to contribute. If you'd like to help, drop a private message and I'll share my Venmo. Thx!

open.substack.com/pub/levgross... This is definitely true for me. Leiber was a terrific influence, both as a fantasy writer and an sf writer. Genius, and now virtually out of print.

When I was a child, the novels of Fritz Leiber were way more important to me than The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings. If anything Tolkien was the British Leiber

Does anyone know if there’s been an update from @jamesgunn.bsky.social on a Metal Men project? We only had a few of the comics but we read those until they fell apart.

"The men lived on the Paria Peninsula, in mostly unpainted cinderblock homes that can go weeks without water service and regularly lose power for several hours a day." The Trump administration killed these guys because they're low-hanging fruit. The real narco lords are safe elsewhere.

Trump has accused boat crews of being narco-terrorists. The truth, AP found, is more nuanced
One was a fisherman struggling to eke out a living on $100 a month. Another was a career criminal. A third was a former military cadet.

This is disability visibility. Mamdani listened. He didn’t pander or talk over the disabled journalist. He acknowledged his concerns and gave real responses about how he plans to fix them. 1 in 4 Americans has a disability, it’s a huge number of voters. Don’t ignore us!

So much of the centrist approach to politics has devolved into "How do we trick people into supporting us like the right has done?" where talking sincerely about policies that might help ordinary people's lives is for naïve schmucks who don't understand the glorious theatre of it all

i think about this william gibson quote a lot

Gibson's later fanzine articles convey his natural flair for travel writing, since the best pieces are his description of an unpleasant encounter with Span- ish police on Ibiza ("My Life under Fascism; or, Franco Killed My Dog"), an amusing account about observing a mirror spontaneously explode in a Turk ish restaurant ("Anecdotal Evidence"), and a 1984 report on a visit to Mexico ("On the Surface," Wing Window No. 7); these pieces would not have seemed out of place in Distrust That Particular Flavor. In the first article, he explained that the policemen, after asking if a stray dog belonged to Gibson, cruelly shot the animal, provoking this rare excursion into political commentary:
So the next time you hear someone say that Heinlein or Bianca Jagger or Anita Bryant is fascist, I've given you one little yardstick of the genuine, the histori- cal article. They shot my dog. I say my dog because this experience taught me something about fascists: if you don't admit to owning the world's stray dogs, they'll shoot them. And one day they'll be back. For you. With the boxcars. (18)
