It can't just be me, but I am unreasonably excited about the new China Miéville novel coming out next week. His first solo-written fiction in 14 years and it's over 1,000 pages and tells a secret supernatural history of the 20th century British empire.
Revenance Event
China Miéville returns to fiction with a secret history of late-twentieth-century Britain.

Sometimes i think about how, in the late 90s, USPS was moving to set up a secure email address for every US resident and how congress prevented it.
If you have a Gmail account, you need to read this.
Google's AI now scans your emails and attachments, bank statements, tax files, medical letters, all of it. It turned on by default, and there's a class-action lawsuit over how.
Here are 5 moves to shut it off, the switch is hidden in two places:

Stupid fuck.
Welp, there it is. The CDC is now officially manipulating data and their count of measles deaths in 2026 now stands at ZERO.
My understanding of reportable diseases is that the CDC would usually use a state health department’s determination as the final say.
The new CDC Director is failing us.

The CDC left two measles-associated Pa. deaths out of its latest count after RFK Jr. sparred with Gov. Shapiro
HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has accused Pennsylvania of not cooperating with the CDC in its handling of a measles outbreak.

Many times over the years--decades--various people have said they can reform HWA. None of it has worked. None. I would highly advise new writers to stay clear of this organization until it has proven it can be trusted and not be abusive to its members.
