Publishing Rodeo is a wonderful prefreshing for authors about publishing SF/F. They talk about money a lot. It's very refeshing.

Can you give an author name? This sounds like something I'd like to read and all I can find is the werewolf-themed series of books by Gary Bradner. Thanks if you can help.

The rule of law is probably a thing somewhere. Not sure where but probably somewhere.

Trump's choice to bow out would in fact be hugely popular.

Biden's terrible debate performance should help Democrats realize they must go fully negative to win.

Nearly all liberals, including the Dems pushing Biden in this direction, agree that if Trump wins, he’ll instantly deem “his” economy the best in history, and everyone will go along with it. So what sense does it make to do the opposite? www.offmessage.net/p/biden-beat...

I went to see it based on the Anthony Lane review. Incredible ending.

This is one of the all-time great books about the legal system. Toobin does a great job of situating the case in the history of LA, the politics of the DA's office, and the then relatively new field of DNA forensics.

an actually good Sydney Sweeney-themed think piece is “The Money Is in All the Wrong Places” by @mckinneykelsey.bsky.social defector.com/the-money-is...
The Money Is In All The Wrong Places | Defectordefector.com You can always tell who in Hollywood has family money by their Instagrams. People like Dakota Johnson, who have a Hollywood lineage deeper than the Mariana Trench, post only rarely. They post about so...

The problem is, after you do 10 minutes of research, you often learn: 1) the issue is more complex than you thought and 2) you need a lot more than 10 minutes to contribute anything useful. So you don't post.

It would be wrong to see this as just a prudish or Victorian or even sincerely religious attitude about sex. It’s about control. It’s about the authority of the state intruding into more and more parts of life, and about making more and more people complicit in the abuse of power. /1

Is it going too far to say the major media outlets "need" a horse race and will make every effort to ensure that this election is one?

One of the problems with Taylor Swift is she is really good, songs are good, delivery is good, message is good. I mean, come on!

As anyone who listened to Bob Dylan - Oh Mercy (Lanois 1989) and PJ Harvey - Rid of Me (Albini 1993) back to back can attest. Highly recommend!

It rules that NYC was only 7500 or so votes away in a city of 9,000,000 residents from the mayor being the hyper competent technocrat sanitation commissioner instead of the cartoonishly corrupt machine cop
