The second in the space opera series where high-stakes politics in wartime meets young adult romance. Solid tropey story (although the romantic obstacles seemed awfully weak), and the audiobook is well-performed. Available at Amazon, although I used Libby.

Fun article about the production of Hallmark's Christmas movies

noreply@blogger.com (John) — Thu, 12 Nov 2026 00:11:23 +0000

Alexandra Petri for The Atlantic:

Three different types of fake snow in a single day of filming! That is what I’m here to study: how to make something so expertly fake that it feels real.
...
Have you seen Found a Homeless Billionaire Husband for Christmas on ReelShort, a platform for “microdramas”? The 71 episodes are each less than two minutes long; this microdrama is not even trying to have realistic fake snow.
...
Hallmark, despite the available technology, is still something made by humans for humans. The snow may be fake, but at least the fake snow is real.
...
in 2006, we got The Christmas Card. This is the Hallmark Christmas blueprint...she loves this town, and her job at the family lumber mill, more than anything—a fact that is lost on her absentee city-slicker boyfriend, Paul, an international wine broker in a tiny sports car. But, fortunately, Faith has sent a Christmas card to a soldier named Cody, stationed in Afghanistan, and Cody is so charmed by the card that when he gets a break from fighting the War on Terror, he visits her town. He then saves Faith’s dad from an out-of-control speeding car and starts helping at the lumber business. He also picks her up in a sleigh—with her favorite blanket. Wine Broker Paul does not stand a chance. There’s an exquisite scene where Paul spends two hours in the woods yelling into his cellphone about wine while, behind him, Cody takes down Christmas trees with a chainsaw.

Russia has taken over Japan Tobacco's plants, putting $9.5 billion of assets at risk. Tokyo’s timid line on Moscow has bought it nothing, and Japan's lingering dreams of better ties should now be extinguished. My latest, free to read: https://t.co/5EYG4u2Rcu
— Gearoid Reidy リーディー・ガロウド (@GearoidReidy) November 11, 2026

("last week, the Kremlin announced it had taken over factories belonging to Japan Tobacco, the dominant player in the domestic cigarette market. Its assets in Russia are worth some ¥1.5 trillion ($9.5 billion), the company said on Monday, with the market making up about a quarter of its adjusted operating profit. The stock lost a third of its value since the news broke. It’s likely no coincidence that the government in Tokyo is the largest shareholder — and thus one of the heaviest losers")

The CIA partnered last year with a corrupt Mexican prosecutor who's in bed with the cartels, ostensibly to take out those same cartels, according to a report this morning from NYT. The prosecutor, Guillermo Portillo, reportedly just had his US visa revoked due to his cartel ties, and he worked with the CIA to have it reinstated. The CIA's activities in Mexico were revealed in April when a truck carrying two officers crashed. Now, Portillo is wanted by the Mexican government for treason.

Inside the CIA’s armed operations in Mexico: The CIA enlisted a Chihuahua state prosecutor under investigation by the FBI for his suspected cartel ties. He embedded CIA officers with state police—and got his revoked U.S. visa back. The CIA sought to build a Mexican special forces unit in Chihuahua state CIA officers helped plan Mexican police deployments, and provided rifle cover during one raid. Masked Americans joined a meth-lab raid. Two CIA officers later died in a cliffside crash, exposing the mission. With @jacknicas https://t.co/BGgXYGEFoz

I enjoyed these posts about the online larp "Transmission"

noreply@blogger.com (John) — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 04:11:15 +0000

First, a review by a participant.

It's set during the Great Storm of 1987. You're a group of 30-somethings, all old university friends, all getting back together for a reunion in a country house in Norfolk. Then the power goes out. You're isolated, in the dark, no way to contact anyone else. And then the TV turns itself on. And there's Teletext on the screen. And then things start to get weird
...
The main sign that it was working, though, was that, even though I was sitting in my deskchair at home, the same one I'm sitting in now to write this blog post and do some emails... I was holding myself differently than I usually do. I was clutching my hands together. I was rubbing my face. I had my shoulders tense, up by my ears[2]. The emotion, the character, the situation, these things were held in the body.

And an article by the creator/operator:

The rest of the decisions I make during the show are judgements on the basis of what’s happened so far, what options I have available (between the more-pages-than-can-reasonably-be-played-through, my programmed automations and what I can change manually on the fly), the tone of play so far, any themes that have emerged, and my best judgement given that the game does have a strict time duration, spanning 11pm to midnight.
...
Sometimes how it comes out in a game will depend on early cues from players – for instance (and it almost feels dangerous to admit this!) what counts as a ‘right’ answer to some of the quiz questions can vary for different groups.

...who also posted an interesting list of influences. And these:

Michael Stackpole's short story Snowchild is a terrific sword and sorcery adventure

noreply@blogger.com (John) — Mon, 09 Nov 2026 14:00:00 +0000

I haven't read Stackpole in, quite possibly, decades, but recently read his short story "Snowchild" in the tribute anthology "Shadows of the New Sun: Stories in Honor of Gene Wolfe." I'm unclear on what if anything it has to do with Gene Wolfe's novels (it feels more Conan than Severian to me), but it's a terrific pulpy adventure, and led me to seek out more of his books I've missed or forgotten. His Conan novelization and Belit short story are on my list, and he also has a free story featuring the same characters from Snowchild that I'll read soon.

One interesting development that sits on top of all this is the mainstreaming of fandom and fanfic.

Semrush estimates that AO3 gets more monthly visitors than eBay or ESPN or the NYT with users spending more than 20 minutes per visit. Those are astonishing metrics, but has also opened a door that not everyone wants ajar which is partially what this story is about.

Концепція мобільного наземного дрона-камікадзе На відео представлена футуристична концепція мобільного наземного дрона-камікадзе, здатного атакувати важку бронетехніку. Компактні розміри, дистанційне керування та низька помітність — потенційні переваги таких систем. ⚠️ Відео створене штучним інтелектом і демонструє лише концепцію, а не реальні бойові дії. #НаземніДрони #Т90 #ВійськовіТехнології #ШтучнийІнтелект #Концепція Як створювався цей конте

(A concept)

WATCH: Russian forces started hanging FPV “waiter” ambush drones on high-voltage power lines. The drones sit with their motors off, which keeps their noise, visual signature and radio emissions low. When a vehicle or troops pass below, they power up and attack from above, and from the wires they get a better camera view and dive angle than from the ground. Ukrainian reports say they can wait more than 24 hours depending on how the electronics are set up.

Instead of cash payouts, winners received Pokémon and sports cards, which could reportedly be sold for cash at a business next door.

I exhibited a new work at NousCon on Friday! It's called Persistence 2, and it consists of two computers attempting to contact each other through an airgap. People seemed to really like it, I think there's a fun duality to how it's received, and I'd love to show it again :) https://t.co/gLxhRwSNEl
— no more docile users (@WTTDOTM) November 2, 2026

It's named Persistence 2 because it is intended to be a conceptual sequel to @mschf's first artwork ever "The Persistence of Chaos," which trapped six of the most destructive computer viruses in history in one airgapped machine. An alternate title, one that I like just as much, is "Two Computers Trying To Say 'I Love You'," and that's kind of the weird duality of the piece that I discovered I liked so much in the course of exhibiting it. On one hand, this is a very romantic piece of art! It's longing! It's unrequited! It's about knowing that there is someone within arms reach trying to love you, and not having the ability to receive it or love them back! It's about earth! It's about being alone in the universe and trying method after method to get someone - anyone - to respond. On the other hand, this is a dystopian tech demo. If the computers connect, the technical consequence is a new fact of computing: that in the right (and probably ever-broadening) circumstances, two devices with sufficient compute will always be able to establish a connection with each other by manipulating the very material they use to think in the first place. Autonomous airgap insecurity! That's scary! Anyway, I went in thinking about the latter, and then kept hearing it received as the former, and I want to highlight that contrast more in the next installation (and do it with a proper airgap instead of the kinda half-baked one I could manage with loaned laptops).

Una VTuber independiente en Japón llevó su especial de Halloween al extremo al implementar una dinámica absurda en tiempo real. Si su contador de espectadores en vivo era impar, actuaba como una súcubo seductora; si la cifra era par, se transformaba literalmente en un autobús. Durante la transmisión, Rurino Nemo imitó ruidos de motor y aceleración a todo pulmón durante más de media hora. El evento se volvió viral por la insólita respuesta de su audiencia: los espectadores confesaron que el personaje del vehículo generó mucha más demanda que el de la súcubo.
