Lillard says IMPEACH & REMOVE

"To argue that sex is not real and that gender is innate or chosen, instead of socially imposed, demonstrates both ignorance to the world around you as well as a position of privilege."

Today, we remember the eleven innocent lives tragically stolen in the Tree of Life Synagogue shooting. As we honor their memory, we commit ourselves to confronting the rising tide of antisemitism, rejecting hatred and ensuring every American is safe to worship in peace.

A gene therapy saved a calf with a rare genetic disease. Years later, Mennonite families work to develop the therapy on their own after biotech ignored it. https://www.statnews.com/2026/10/27/gene-therapy-cow-rare-disease-amish-mennonite-patients-waiting/

The Ramaswamy ad has pushed the largest newspaper in Ohio, the Cleveland Plain Dealer, to reverse its position on endorsements. "A candidate who uses childhood sexual abuse as a weapon against the person who endured it has crossed a line that Ohioans should defend, whatever their party."

We need at least a “but her emails” level of coverage here. At least.

The impact of electing a serial rapist to the highest office in the land cannot be overstated. The message this sends to survivors is devastating. And. The message this sends to boys and men is absolutely horrifying. It tells them you can abuse with abandon and without consequence.

We have come to the point in the year (ie the weeks before the climate negotiations begin) when everyone releases their state-of-the-planet reports. This year, the perspective is overwhelmingly bad:

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Stop what you are doing and look at this lovely story. A photography student in the 80s took pictures of punks and mods on the street in Preston. He’s now tracked them down and photographed them again. The pictures and stories are really ❤️ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Huge headlines around the world. In major US corporate media, complete silence. Something fishy here.

After the rain came the sunshine. Photo taken this morning on Glastonbury Tor.

When they tell us "there is no alternative," what they mean is "stop trying to think of alternatives." To imagine radically is to move beyond the helplessness of prediction: a radical imagination dares to insist that history is what we make, not what happens to us.

At its best, sf is a proudly Luddite literature: locusmag.com/feature/cory...

Prediction is hard. Especially about the future. That Yogi Berra gem proves that you don't have to be a sf writer to get irritated with people insisting that you must know what's going to happen tomorrow, but (as a sf writer), I can tell you that this is one of our main occupational hazards.

Levels of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere continued to rise in 2025, along with a lesser-known gas with a more powerful warming effect

Have you always wanted to cross the Arctic Circle? Midnight Sky Adventures, a company I partner with, runs a 14-hour tour from Fairbanks up the Dalton Highway to the Arctic Circle sign, and the drive back after dark works as an aurora tour too.

Dismal. Ugh. Can't blame our northern neighbors even a bit, though.

A while ago record companies were suing families for for huge sums for downloading a couple of tracks. Now, AI firms are stealing catalogues of music for 'training purposes' and are getting away scot free. How does that work then?

The famously reserved Brazilians (that was satire, don't @ me)

Apparently, some Houston voters are putting their I Voted stickers on the Lorenzo Salgado Araujo memorial. Stephen Miller is ALREADY trying to scapegoat others for losing whatever races they lose in Texas and elsewhere. This is a vivid testament that for some voters, his murder squad is the reason.

It's become quite clear that the only secure data is offline data. The future is analog.

Same.

We may need to give the Democracy Gold Medal to the Georgians. This is beyond impressive.

Not at all surprising.

Congratulations to Brazil. The cool cats won!
