I've noticed a microgenre shift in SF over the last year - or possibly just in the books I've come across. Specifically, a bit of a boom in big concept space opera books working in the Banks/Hamilton ideaspace. Meaning SF that simultaneously delivers a strong action storyline against a backdrop

Kind of baffled at today's narrative in the media that the collapse of the high street is all labours fault and it'll lead to reform winning, wtf it's been going on for ages and the energy and rent costs are obvittonbalme, alongside Amazon etc not paying their taxes. Reform will make it worse

I see the UK government is still hiding the deal on pharmacy they made with trump. It's going to be bad.
Trying to coerce a foreign head of state into price gouging their public healthcare system is something I never thought I would type out in a skeet
Trump: "I called Macron of France. I said, 'You gotta double the price of your drugs.' He said, 'No no no, I will not do that.' What was the story with his glasses the other day? What the hell was that all about? ... they said, 'Whatever you ask. We'd love to do it.'"

It's really important to keep the pressure up against these fascists, because if they get comfortable they're the pathway to have the stazi
"And because we had no assistance from the state of Minnesota, our semi-literate army of misfit goons is obviously now allowed to murder the citizens of that state at will."
Blanche: "Remember, what we all saw in that 10 or second video is not the full story. Every American should know that. The story goes way beyond that. It starts with the fact that literally for months we have received 0 assistance from the state of Minnesota."

You can bet behind the rhetoric Reform in the UK will be getting rid of red tape and trashing what little regulatory bodies there are left,not that they do much now
Having written a book on the broken regulatory system in the United States, I strongly advise against using AI to make regulations that are "good enough." 47 people died in Lac Megantic because the regulations were considered good enough. They weren't.
