Is science fiction dead or dying? Some wise words from Ursula K Le Guin to the TLS a decade ago:

What will your field look like twenty-five years from now?
My field? What is my field, I wonder. My favourite field is the one below the barn at the
old ranch in California. I hope in twenty-five years it looks just the way it does now, all wild oats and chicory and foxtail and voles and jackrabbits and quail.

Colonisers hate libraries, they hate the dissemination and democratisation of information, they hate us knowing anything. Does anyone else get the feeling that this is in part a push to force those of us resisting genAI to use it b/c there is nothing else available? *dusts off Encarta CD-ROMS*

‘There are so many words for cutting benefit payments to the needy and vulnerable, as once there were so many for words for the cutting of a field.' Restricted access to the benefit system is a re-enactment of the Acts of Enclosure, writes Sean Prentice www.caughtbytheriver.net/2025/08/tres...

Irish food/drink culture is trendy in chi-chi dining establishments at the moment, thanks to places like Café Cecilia. It's also in the public consciousness more because of e.g. Shit London Guinness, plus Guinness marketing is as effective as ever (e.g. myths of 2-part pour and "the perfect pint")
