| November's last rose |
- Why doesn’t the U.S. have at-home flu tests? I've wondered about this. It's a more complex problem than you might think.
- How chaos on Twitter is affecting SF/F authors. "The pitfalls of platform migration." I remember problems when CompuServe and GEnie went away (yes, I am that old), but this is much worse.
- This Singer Deepfaked Her Own Voice—and Thinks You Should Too. "Self-described “computer musician” Holly Herndon explains why AI vocal clones can help give fellow artists sovereignty over their work."
- Going meta. "John Scalzi's Redshirts, a decade on." He discusses several other books as well as Redshirts and the Rick and Morty TV show. He should have mentioned Doom Patrol, though.
- Satellite Constellations Could Harm the Environment, New Watchdog Report Says. "Elon Musk’s Starlink and other satellite sources of light pollution and orbital debris should face an environmental review, the U.S. Government Accountability Office finds." It's long past time.
- Journey to the Doomsday Glacier. "Thwaites could reshape the world’s coastlines. But how do you study one of the world’s most inaccessible places
- Traces of ancient hurricanes on the seafloor are a warning for coastal areas. "Evidence from millennia of Atlantic storms is not good news for the coast."
