Sigh. The article sums up to, Americans would care about climate change if they knew 2 degrees C is 3.6 degrees F—a much more serious issue.
Sorry. The problem, I can tell you from long experience talking to Americans—is not the data. The problem is politicians and trillions in corporate money.

Nice little bit of synchronicity here. And a bold statement on the power of the weird (not so) little guy.

When new sci fi fans say they don’t need to read old SF because Asimov was a bad writer or Heinlein was a creep, I get sad bc that means they’ll miss out on Fritz Leiber and Samuel Delaney and Jack Vance, too. There’s so much gold among the dross.

Saw the Riz Ahmed/Lily James thriller RELAY last night and enjoyed it, though I think it's not for everyone. A slowburn paranoid technothriller with an interesting lo-tech twist; the underbaked script is definitely elevated by two captivating performances. If you liked BLACK BAG, given this a shot.

My contributor’s copy of WEIRD TALES has arrived. I’m incredibly proud of my story “After Frankenstein”, one of the best things I’ve written in recent years. And check out the incredible roster of authors in this issue!

The cheeses of New York are represented by two separate but equally important groups. The lawyers who prosecute cheese criminals, and the Policemice, who protect the cheese at all costs.

I love Lego, I love LOTR, but... somebody really should have vetted this set picture. Or at least moved Gandalf out of the splash zone.
