Pick a Bond villain from a photo already on your phone. Dr Godot?

"A head full of ghosts" by @paultremblay.bsky.social Is Marjorie possesed? Will a televised exorcism fix her condition? - I was gripped by the drama of family in the dual hold of the supernatural and the reality-TV-apparatus. Where you keep on reading, knowing this will end bad. Very recommended.

With DEAD BUT DREAMING OF ELECTRIC SHEEP I didn’t worry about plausibility. I worried that it could become true before the book’s release. www.science.org/content/arti...

“Caulfield was tapped to deliver the keynote graduation address at the University of Central Florida last week, and boy did she kill it. And by ‘it,’ I mean her professional reputation.” defector.com/wow-americas...

A summary of today’s revelations of treachery by RFK Jr.’s handpicked minions. In 11/2025, three doctors (Makary, Prasad, Hoeg) employed by the United States government told the world, with confidence, that COVID19 vaccines killed 10 children. We now have ironclad evidence that they lied.

There are many 50+ people in power who seem desperate to jump on "the future" because they don't want to miss the next big wave and get left behind and without evidence assume it's what "the kids" want without asking the kids. It's just being bad at business.

I read a headline that sounded so insane I had to check it out myself and, yes, it's true. It's like the Trump administration has a think tank devoted to coming up with the most godawful things imaginable. www.humaneworld.org/en/blog/trum...

"Another" by @paultremblay.bsky.social An interesting take on the motif of the changeling. Combined with the nighmare-scenario of a child, his parents stopping to protect him and going along with a dangerous-seeming situation. It may be intended for younger readers, but I liked it just fine.
