Leaked emails show organizers of the prestigious Hugo Awards vetted writers’ work and comments with regard to China, where last year’s awards were held....
This is probably the most helpful comment for me. I enjoy reading scifi and I’ve often used the Hugos as a barometer. Not anymore. Time to start checking blogs of good authors
It is 301 stainless they’re using… basically the least expensive kind out there. The difference between it and regular mild (carbon) steel isn’t much. Any sort of ferrous dust will just chew it up.
As a fellow human, I enjoy being bipedal and metabolizing oxygen. Purchasing luxury products such as these Bose headphones is also an enjoyable human behavior.
I need some relationship advice. I suggested 125% but my wife won’t budge from 10%. Is this normal? How did it go when you had this conversation with your romantic partner?
"House Republicans were crystal clear from the very beginning of discussions that any so-called national security supplemental legislation must recognize that national security begins at our own border," U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson wrote on Twitter.

This person and your employer are under no obligation to do what you want when there is no justification other than your own personal judgement.
"We came here, obviously, to show unity, to show our commitment and hoping that the Americans would hear us," said Icelandic lawmaker Dilja Mist Einarsdottir. "We are leaving America a little bit sad," she added.
Trying to talk sense to Congressional Republicans is pointless. The ones with any capacity for rational thought have resigned or aren’t running.
Those that remain are zealots and hypocrites. Too many of them probably couldn’t find Iceland on a map. Hell, they probably couldn’t even label a map of the US correctly.
