I'm proud of this podcast and especially of this final episode. I feel like we went out with a bang!
It's our last episode! We're so grateful to everyone who's listened to us for the past 7 years.
We're using this occasion to talk about the state of science fiction and fantasy in the 21st century — and what has shaped the stories we've loved.

Don't Rest Your Head remains a certified horror classic, the game that made this "Evil Hat" company stand out to me in the 2000s.
(Also prompted convention convos about sleep health!)
Your inventive indie game can transform the hobby. Don't ever sell yourself short!

I am ready to go beyond implication and say after reading the facts here that one of the most recognizable people working in the White House almost certainly had ICE arrest her nephew's mother as a favor to her brother
This article heavily implies that ICE is being used in a custody dispute to help Karoline Leavitt's brother get his son and have the mother locked up in ICE detention
"A woman with a family connection to White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has been arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Revere, Massachusetts."

Less than 90 minutes until the first episode of the Stranger Things finale season drops.
I won't be able to watch until later because I'm chained up in the kitchen, making foods for tomorrow, but I'm still looking forward to it.

I used to be a lead bookseller at one of the biggest bookshops in the UK. We had a reputation for being able to "break" books, i.e. build hype for books we got behind and make them start selling.
That often involved handselling just 9 or 10 copies over a couple of days.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

'“I’m not interested in her incredibly bad writing," Nair said. "Real people are going to become disabled, sick, and die as a consequence of this.” And it could be years before we see the true scale of the damage.'
Olivia Nuzzi wrote an entire story based on unnamed sources about Biden's decline, reinvigorating calls for him to leave the race -- and the whole time, she was working on RFK Jr.'s behalf, according to her ex-fiance. newrepublic.com/article/2035...
Olivia Nuzzi’s Real Victims
More than her fiancé, or fellow female journalists, the public will pay the price for these misdeeds. RFK Jr. will see to that.

For a while, I had a job where I proofread for court reporters. Those transcripts had some seriously contentious bullshit in them.
NEW: DOJ posted the exhibits involved in the Chicago protesters/press case, including Gregory Bovino's deposition.
He is a real charmer (before they even got to the substance of the case)!

For the [ast few years I've been editing the short fiction for Star Ship Sofa, a venerable SF (not F/H) podcast. It's a small joint, and I've turned it primarily into a reprint market as we can afford only $50 per story.
I've also turned it into a reprint market because writers need money fast. 🧵

I live at a low intersection with a drain on each corner. Elderly folks live on the other three corners.
Every spring, I live drain-clearing. Making whirlpools and draining the road is deeply satisfying.
