Of the books I read for the first times in 2025, only the Cloud Roads by @marthawells.com has pulled me into rereading.

When I pitch it to friends, it’s that Wells made her own new omegaverse-like species/gender combination and the main character is a cross between Rapunzel and Wreck it Ralph

Happy to have another excuse to write about Final Fantasy 11, which recently broke in the exact right way to force its Games Masters into doing something extremely funny:
After a server glitch, Final Fantasy 11 is dispatching Game Masters to manually assassinate bugged monsters just so the game knows they're really dead: 'God personally stepping in to correct the world...
Sometimes there's only one way to be sure.

How much do I love my ducks? I just spent half an hour hauling out 5, five gallon buckets of water to refill their heated pool 😆. They are living the goddamn dream.

North of Chicago is a community solar project, built on a Superfund site too polluted for much else.

Residents who subscribe to get energy from the solar farm are guaranteed savings on their energy bills, under a state program incentivizing solar in low-income areas.

Good news story! No pay wall.
How Community Solar Turned a Superfund Site into Savings in Illinois
A new 9.1-MW solar array will help residents of Waukegan, Illinois, reduce energy bills. State incentives for low-income solar made the project possible.

This is your reminder that Hungarian-Jewish scientist George de Hevesy dissolved two Nobel Prizes in aqua regia to keep them out of the hands of the Nazis.

He then left the dissolved solution on his shelf and fled to Sweden.

(After the war he un-dissolved the gold and the prizes were re-cast.)
