- A Battle of Boos and Cheers at the Symphony. "In the early 1980s, John Adams’s Grand Pianola Music defied the seriousness of classical music. Not everyone liked that."
- Neil Gaiman on the Secret History of ‘The Sandman,’ from Giant Mechanical Spiders to the Joker. "In our epic new interview, the legendary author tells all: the status of future seasons of Netflix's chart-topping show, how he stopped the worst movie adaptation ever, how he really feels about the DC superheroes in the 'Sandman' comic book, and much, much more."
- Peter Nicholls’ “Genre Fiction: The Roaring Years” Available from Ansible Editions. If you don't know who Peter Nicholls was, then read the linked article. Then buy the book. Proceeds go to supporting the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction.
- Study raises concerns about the effectiveness of the monkeypox vaccine. "But one of the senior authors of the paper said what is clear is that people being administered this vaccine ought to be cautious about assuming they are protected against infection."
- What's the deal with all those weird wrong-number texts? 'Digging into the world of "pig-butchering" scams.'
- Years after shuttle, NASA rediscovers the perils of liquid hydrogen. "Every time we saw a leak, it pretty quickly exceeded our flammability limits." They should have listened to Jeryy Pournelle.
