From this square, I wish to address a clear message to those who take advantage of people’s desperation, to those who organize death routes, traffic in human beings, withhold documents, exploit workers, threaten women, deceive families, and turn the suffering of others into a business. Stop! Repent! (Mk 1:15) #ApostolicJourney vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

Today, I'm recommending four works by Katherine MacLean, an author best known for her sharp and thoughtful short fiction. The Missing Man (1971): Originally published as a novella in Analog and winning a Nebula in 1971, it was eventually expanded into a novel. The story takes place in a future New York where an empath working for the city's Rescue Squad uses his talents to locate people in danger by sensing their emotional distress. "The Snowball Effect" (1952): A sociologist applies a growth equation to a small town's sewing circle, resulting in a chaotic expansion that threatens society itself. A classic satire of social engineering. "Pictures Don't Lie" (1951): This clever examination of perception and technological interpretation sees Earth's scientists communicating with an approaching alien spacecraft only to face a devastating, perspective-shifting realization upon arrival. "Incommunicado" (1950): A prescient look at information theory and human-machine communication, this story takes place on a space station where reliance on a complex musical and mathematical language leads to a shocking mental transformation. Check out the quoted thread for the recommended works of Theodore Sturgeon, Alfred Bester, Bob Shaw, Clifford D. Simak, Algis Budrys, A.E. van Vogt, C.L. Moore, Cordwainer Smith, C.M. Kornbluth, D.G. Compton, Thomas M. Disch, Alice Bradley Sheldon (James Tiptree, Jr.), John Brunner, Judith Merril, Hal Clement, James Blish and Jack Williamson.

Throughout my career, I've been dismayed by the contempt some genre executives have held for fans, routinely underestimating their power to make or break a show. I've watched this repeat too many times, across too many shows, to be talking about any single one of them. Yet despite the mounting evidence over the past few years, they continue to dismiss the data, repeating the same miscalculations time and again. But technology has rewritten the rules, and the power dynamics are shifting. Today’s fans are organized, strategic, and highly data-literate - effectively turning the platforms' own metrics against them. As the bets get bigger and the audience grows sharper, it will be fascinating to see how this plays out.

There are credible allegations made against Donald Trump that he mutilated a child’s nipples while raping her. Allegations so serious, his inner circle had to meet in the Situation Room to discuss them. I mean, how the fuck isn’t this the biggest scandal in the world right now?

crackheadmaxing is the only way to win. michelangelo had special boots made so he could sleep in them & avoid the hassle of changing clothes. julius caesar would be dictating letters while travelling, eating, watching the games. alexander the great slept with a copy of the iliad under his pillow. nikola tesla would spend weeks visualising complex inventions in vivid detail. he could construct, operate, and test these visualised machines entirely in his mind before ever putting anything to paper. napoleon slept against his cannons at the siege of toulon because of how hyperfixated he was on the battle. these men essentially woke up, worked, slept, and then repeated that process until death. not because of some cringe online "hustler" mentality but because they were maniacally obsessed with their work.

"I asked it of Julius Caesar. I demand it of you!" Cleopatra (Elizabeth Taylor) puts Mark Antony (Richard Burton) in his place in Cleopatra (1963)

As Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman's story about how the Trump White House used the Situation Room to concoct an elaborate cover-up of the Epstein files to protect the pedophile president EXPLODES, the deranged psychopath announces he intends to seize Kharg Island from Iran.

This is all because he got booed last night. What an absolute chode.

Remembering Adam West (RIP), who passed away on this day in 2017. His iconic portrayal of Batman brought joy and excitement to countless fans, leaving a lasting legacy in television history.

This Administration has removed the achievements of the Air Force’s first female Thunderbird pilot Retired Colonel Nicole Malachowski. The removal of these articles have sparked criticism because her place in Air Force history is not a Political slogan it’s well documented.

If Mitch Marner wasn't the problem, does that mean the problem is still in Toronto?

Amazon has pulled the plug on its new Stargate series - here’s why I think that’s the wrong move and why they need to make this show. They need to listen to @MichaelShanks and let @martingero, @BaronDestructo and @bradtravelers cook. 🔥 open.substack.com/pub/static…

And a never before seen advertisement of a product line from a major retailer from 50 years ago just coming to light doesn’t give anyone with 2 brain cells a pause to reflect on that? Think about what that says about the future for our species if the can be fooled by this.🙄
