As always, Gail is the best of the Internet and of us. Lovely thread.
I was invited to a con in Puerto Rico soon after the hurricane. They were rebuilding everywhere, parts of the island were still without power. Trump was of course screwing them over.
I didn't feel it was right to go, but I was told repeatedly to please come, they needed tourism back.

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Gladys Mae West obituary: mathematician who pioneered GPS technology
She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Yes, January, the month that comes around every 12 months to disprove global warming. (What's that, you say? The eastern half of the US doesn't represent the whole globe?)

I scanned a quick first pass and noted 17 records to listen to this weekend. Always appreciate RSTB yearly roundup.
All right it's that time again. I'm a bit later than most, but I've finally whittled it down. My 100 favorite albums and 15 favorite reissues of 2025. It was a hell of a year for music! Thanks, as always, for reading. bit.ly/44U65VY

If you're looking for a writer or editor, or someone who spent the last 5 years training people to be writers and editors, then I'm your man!
In other words, I'm looking for work and I'm easy to work with!

Tail end of a positive and hopeful thread:
Trump's people want a lot of bad things that will make America an authoritarian regime. But they haven't succeeded and it would take a while for them even to end democracy, much less build fascism.
So act as if you live in a democracy - because you do.
The End.

This likely true.
I feel like a conspiracy nut when I say it, but one thing I haven't seen talked about is that taking away SNAP for an extended period of time will likely lead to an increase in crime and I believe that this is an intended goal by an administration desperate for any justification to deploy the army.
