I have created prediction markets from the classic sci-ft tv episode Don’t Create Prediction Markets.

Today's poem by Lynne Sargent looks unflinchingly at being a vampire. Read "The Vampire Contemplates Skin Care" and then put some lotion on, for goodness sake.

Let's start this week off with a list story, "The Things You'll Wish You'd Known" by Kristen Koopman . This is a story which makes the most of the term "mixed state" in many, many ways:
