Wanna hear something spooky? (And to add to the spookiness, I am posting this from the town of Bayport. Just meters from The Wishing Angel of Suffolk County!)

My latest: Picture a river in your mind. Is it sinous, single channel, uninterrupted? Only 11% of rivers in the world fit that standard. The river of the real world is dammed, braided, tidal, frozen -- and often left out of models, a pathbreaking NASA satellites shows.

As someone who grew up reading and devouring Piers Anthony books, I would never ever recommend that to young people today. Some things you once loved should stay in the rear view mirror

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

It's 30+ years later and there are still people mystified about this. I love me some Heinlein, said the guy who won the Heinlein Award a couple years back, and also, I wouldn't be recommending him as a way to get people into the genre in 2026. He's in the "historical perspective" tier now.

Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools. She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama. The past isn’t past.

This seems like a “poor curation of your podcast feed” problem, rather than a problem with podcasts as such. We, for example, publish a delicious piece of short horror fiction every week. Guaranteed to make you think… … about… …. something.
