- Octavia Butler's Kindred to premiere on Hulu on December 13. Another adaptation of a major SF&F novel to look forward to.
- Mystery Cosmic Storms Left Their Mark in Tree Rings, Scientists Say. Six spikes in Earth’s radiation levels, recorded in tree rings, may represent an unknown extreme astrophysical event.
- My experience with transit in other cities shows Toronto is getting ripped off by the TTC. The article compares Taipei to Toronto, but based on my experience, Toronto also falls short when compared to London.
- Welcome to hell, Elon. "You fucked up real good, kiddo. Twitter is a disaster clown car company that is successful despite itself, and there is no possible way to grow users and revenue without making a series of enormous compromises that will ultimately destroy your reputation and possibly cause grievous damage to your other companies."
- The Peripheral Storyboards Episodes 1-2 (PDF link). Thanks to director Vincenzo Natali for making these available!
- How to read a controversial preprint paper on Covid’s origins. "A trio of researchers claimed they found likely evidence that the virus that causes Covid-19 was synthetic. And then scientists went to work picking the theory apart."
- Doctor Who was created by a Canadian. "Here's a big long wild thread about the guy from Toronto who created one of the most quintessentially British shows. And how he ended up as a possible target for kidnapping by the FLQ."
