I love finding the occasional early-to-mid 1950s crossovers between early UFOlogy publications and then-current sf movies. THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL as cover graphic; WHEN WORLDS COLLIDE as illos for interior article illo-fodder.

Not only that, but why are they now covering their faces like death squads? Do they not want neighbors to know? Are they ashamed?

Spoke on the phone with my aunt who said two (US citizen) friends came back from Canada over Ambassador Bridge, were redirected to a parking structure with about 35 other cars, and their entire car was searched and CPB went so far as to go through their CHECKBOOKS

@seananmcguire.bsky.social ky.social I just read through your personal list of responses, which made me honor and respect you even more as a person and a writer. I am awkward and terrible at this, but thank you for all of the amazing work over the years.

So just to recap, the Transportation Secretary is scared shitless of public transport. The Education Secretary is being sued for enabling child sex abuse. The Health Secretary is bringing back measles. And the Defense Secretary is texting classified war plans to the editor in chief of the Atlantic
That would be Secretary of Education Linda McMahon who's being sued for aiding and abetting systemic child molestation, just to be clear
Amended complaint has been filed in the ring boys sexual abuse lawsuit against WWE, TKO, Vince McMahon, and Linda McMahon. Three new plaintiffs have joined the original five, one of which accuses Pat Patterson of also participating in the abuse.

Boebert: If I may continue — is it true you are the head of a “modern Stone Age family?”

Morley: Again, I think you’re confusing…
Morley: I think you’re confusing Roger Stone with Oliver Stone

Maureen Cleave describing the Rolling Stones to Evening Standard readers in 1964. I think this is my favourite passage in all music writing. It's packed with detail and tension, but nothing is unnecessary.

Let them be mad.
Let them judge you.
Let them misunderstand you.
Let them gossip about you.
Let them ignore you.
Let them be right.
Let them doubt you.
Let them hate you.
Let them run your name in the ground.
Let them make you out to be the villain.

But never let them make you question your worth.
