That said as long a the world's fortunes hang less on what's being decided in those circles. Like in Neville's excellent Eminent Domain, US shuttering off might be the best for all.

There's even a comics adaptation by Gareth Brookes’s of 😍 Izaak Walton’s 1653 fishing manual The Compleat Angler (SelfMadeHero) with linocut prints to "Walton’s poetic prose, conjuring a landscape of cruelty and plenty in a meditative book of subtle carp, malicious frogs and dainty eels."

That's IT, from the Indian Wars up to Afganistan Wars up to the carbon Drill Baby Drill ideologies of today, or the indigenous resistance against the Dakota Pipe. IT lies underground, almost like a oil/fracking to be tapped into. Larry Fessenden's fossil monstrosity from The Last Winter beckons.

Finally got my hands on the omnibus Ken Macleod's The Corporation Wars.. Used to give the 1st vol Dissidence as a gift to friends just to get them hooked.
A good moment to re-read for anyone asking themselves how the neo traditionalists & paleolibertarians are squaring it out with fascist techbro.

An excellent piece by Tanvir Ahmed that takes on orientalist tropes from various SFF franchises, from Star Trek to Games of Thrones.

Usually not fond of these limited CN/US comparisons, since the leave the rest of the world out, yet it is becoming clear by the day that #Germany feel as unable or unwilling to tackle poverty & inequality. The Gini coefficient of Germany is closer to the US than to France or former east countries.

Cloudfare has issues so it's time to catch up on the reading 📚 list! Here's my definite favorite 2025 books during these troubled times (even if the year's not over). They make excellent gifts🎁.

Basically Grokopedia is a study case for Marian Turda author of Searching the Perfect Romanian (In cautarea romanului perfect
Specific national, degenerare rasiala si selectie sociala in Romania moderna).

Worth mentioning with #COP30 underway, that the U.S. military is practically the world's largest institutional greenhouse gas emitter.

The liquid started overflowing, the raving bacteria keep getting more active by the day.. Check out those red burning colors. Lots of betacyanins and particularly betalains keep seeping through everything.
