I swear it sucks that AG Neronha is term limited. The man is doing more heavy lifting vs fascism than the governor or any of our national level electeds.
A lawsuit filed in US District Court in Rhode Island alleges that the Trump administration made illegal changes to funding for programs supporting people who are homeless that will cut access to long-term housing and potentially lead to the evictions nationwide.
R.I. AG leads coalition in lawsuit against Trump administration over HUD funding cuts to programs reducing homelessness - The Boston Globe
The lawsuit accuses HUD of dramatically reducing the amount of funding from a key grant program that can be spent on permanent housing, potentially lead to the evictions of thousands.

Some of my favorite SF books are out of the 70s and likely barely qualify as a novel today.
We had peak doorstopper space opera and high fantasy with the MMPBs of the 90s when the economy was great. MMPBs went down with the 00s recession.
I can see the paper price logic here.

What creates the seeming need for a "long and immersive" novel is capitalism. Esp in genre fiction, that expectation for a massive novel is tied to a) the availability of paper in the 1970s b) the amount of money publishers had to pay writers & c) a sense that "more is more." All of this is flawed.

There's a pursuit though. Think Fury Road, but with two bodyguards who don't trust each other up against an enemy that can't die.

You guys interested in more stuff I pulled from Ron Moore’s ‘90s AOL chats with DS9 fans?
This was in reaction to a Season 5 ep retconning Dr. Bashir’s history. OH NO! The sacred CANON was violated!
Ron has the correct perspective (and more patience than I would have.)

Constantly excusing the behavior of the worst people just cause they are good at a game is no small part why I stopped watching football.
Always "Rome is dying but let's keep the Colosseum open to placate the masses" vibes with the NFL.

I went through massive burnout trying to get published.
Publishing is straight up one of the stupidest, brutal industries ever. I had to untether myself from the notion that writing would ever save me from the shipyard.
Then I could lean into the joy of it again.
