Facts are useful in emergencies

Rabbit, rabbit! Forget the Sleepless Shores made the 2018 Locus Recommended Reading List! It looks as though this makes the collection eligible for voting in the Locus Awards, so, you know, if you liked it, go tell the magazine.

I slept very little and very badly: from about midnight until sometime around four o'clock when I woke up coughing and fever-sweating and stayed that way. I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon.

I greatly enjoyed this Twitter thread of U.S. presidents as snack foods.

That is a deeply weird thread, not least because if one was going to argue against it, or even contribute to it, one would (a) need to know a fair amount about a given past president then (b) know a bit about snack foods and then (c) think it was a worthwhile use of your hours on Planet Earth to combine a+b.

Which is half the point of comedy, I think.

I agreed with almost all their reasoning, though! (I felt the Lucky Charms were a bit unfair to John Quincy Adams and Woodrow Wilson, despite the zinger last sentence, might have been unnecessarily flattered by the Moon Pie.)
