All the Scottish cafes now serve pumpkin spice lattes in the fall, which seems very out of place because no no one eats pumpkin pie here, so pumpkin spice is not a thing. But haggis spice is pretty similar -- nutmeg, allspice, mace. Why don't they sell these as haggis spice lattes? Sounds delicious!

I recommend this episode of CBC's The House dedicated to whether Canada can meet its climate goals (and not b/c I'm the first guest!). It'll be interesting even to non-Canadians, to hear how Canada is struggling over climate policy amid outside pressures. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/s...

It's worth remembering that the number of female Star Trek novelists once FAR exceeded the number of male ones. The guys who made it into our exclusive fellowship in those days were invariably the really good ones. John M. (Mike) Ford. Peter David. (And yeah, @peter.petermorwood.com.) (1/2)
Looking back, Star Trek novels were a good path into sci-fi for a young kid in the 1980s.
They had imaginative writing on a wide range of sci-fi tropes, plus lots of great women writers (Vonda N McIntyre, Diane Carey, DC Fontana, @melindas.bsky.social and @diane.dianeduane.com among others).

Same. I got into SF from what I liked at the local library, which included Asimov, plus Douglas Adams, and lots of Star Trek and Dr Who novels.
The SF books I remember getting into *earliest* were the 1980s Tom Swift novels. I loved them at the time. I am not recommending them to my kid. 😀

1. This is something I've been saying for 25 years, but it's hard to get many people to listen. What counts is not the new energy sources you add, but the old ones you retire. Unfortunately it's politically easier to build renewables than to shutter fossil fuels.🧵

“No Kings” is one of the sharpest bits of political branding/rhetoric in a while. Extremely concise and in every headline, historically rooted, specific to the American tradition but also universalist, nails what’s exceptional about Trump in a way that almost all factions in opposition can endorse.

The months-long strike at British Columbia’s LifeLabs has raised questions about foreign ownership of medical services and Canadians’ health data.
That such a large part of Canada’s health infrastructure is owned by a massive foreign company is cause for concern, notes one expert.

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!
Hi Chloe,
This is news to me (and to my editor at Routledge.) I'm shocked to find this out. I assume that this is somehow a pirated edition. Does it include the section on Neurodiversity? Part VIII?
