Any advice for aspiring fiction writers? Perhaps someone who's written non-fiction books, but finds fiction daunting? (asking for a friend)

I wish my personal experience did not confirm this to be true, but I’ve had to crowdfund and pay out of pocket nearly $100k in legal & security expenses all because some bald dweebs told profitable lies about me.

Good luck, seriously

Is it worth pointing out to Kash that Los Angeles is closer to Beijing than Wellington is to Beijing? (10 084 km vs 10 754 km)

Or maybe that office has little to do with China

Scientists Say New Government Climate Report Twists Their Work A new Department of Energy report “fundamentally misrepresents” climate research and leaves out key context, multiple scientists cited in the report tell WIRED.

NEW: i spoke to nine (!) scientists across several disciplines whose work was cited in the new Department of Energy report that downplays the severity of climate change. all of them say their work was misrepresented, cherry picked, and/or lacked context —

This is so very depressing and alarming. I led an abrupt climate change team at DOE 2008-10, when the brilliant Steven Chu was Secretary. Now they've gone total Lysenkoist, twisting science until it's nothing of the sort
