It’s snowing!!! It’s midnight, but I woke my dogs up and we have been playing outside for half an hour. It has not snowed inches, inches!!!, here since 1984!
Four hour docuseries on Elisa Lam - What a waste of time. The only coverup I’m angry about is whatever Live Taping TV Show had the juice to completely remove their name from this story. All I can find on the web is speculation she was kicked out of Ellen that day.
Has anyone here met my future husband?

I’m considering exchanging CBS for HBO.

Memo from the Sports Desk & Rude Notes from a Decompression Chamber in Miami Rolling Stone (August 2, 1973) ★★★½☆ “Six months ago Richard Nixon was Zeus himself, calling firebombs and shitrains down on friend and foe alike—the most powerful man in the world, for a while—but all that is gone now and nothing he can do will ever bring a hint of it back.”
There were some memorable quotes and humor in this article but the back and forth between Thompson’s two identities is obnoxious and muddled.
The Receivers by Alastair Reynolds DNFBored.
A Family History by Paul Park DNF
This story keeps going back and around in itself and I lost patience.
There are two stories left and at least one of them had better hold my interest 😤
Donovan Sent Us by Gene Wolfe DNFBroke the spellcheck and my patience.
The Holy City and Em’s Reptile Farm by Greg van Eekhout ★★☆☆☆
Strange story mixing... everything. These kinds of stories are best when there is a clean break from “real time” from which all differences arise. This just felt like a mess.
Ouch.
Madeleine L’Engle once said, “When we lose our myths we lose our place in the universe.” The Mythic Dream gathers together eighteen stories that reclaim the myths that shaped our collective past, and use them to explore our present and future. From Hades and Persephone to Kali, from Loki to Inanna, this anthology explores retellings of myths across cultures and civilizations.
Csilla’s Story by Theodora Goss DNFI’m Goss fan but lost interest in this story early on.
Winterborn by Liz Williams ★★★★★
Make this world a series immediately! This magical Renaissance Britain with its Fae Queen and River Magic are more fantasy than alternate reality but I don’t care! This was compulsively readable! Ronald was right.
Might have to try that again. I’m deep into LAs Finest.

Awesome video. “If you read it carefully I’m a really accurate journalist.” Lol.
Although, I remember googling Ibogaine but the Wikipedia looked legit. There seemed to have been a greater variety of drugs then, or they have changed names, or I have no idea what’s going on.
Epitaph Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail '72 ★★★☆☆ “I decided that any team with both God and Nixon on their side was fucked from the start.”
Somehow we got back to football. I guess he was covering two stories at once.
