effexInteresting things tend to cross my (virtual) desk on Monday mornings. New Wisconsin GOP shenanigans, for example:
* On Historiann: Bill Cronon’s Wisconsin e-mail FOIA’d, $hitstorm ensues
The two pieces that led to said $hitstorm:
* Who’s Really Behind Recent Republican Legislation in Wisconsin and Elsewhere? (Hint: It Didn’t Start Here)
* Wisconsin’s Radical Break
And a couple more open tabs:
* On Mother Jones: Why Do We Keep Falling For O'Keefe's Smear Jobs?

halcyonjazz: may I have this derp (Sym-Bionic Titan)
*grey_bard: The Epic Fantasy No One Expected - My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic
...I've watched 2 episodes of My Little Pony: FiM and 17 episodes Sym-Bionic Titan since I read these posts because, let's face it, ponies and robots and magic and aliens and beautiful animation. I never stood a chance. Will write up reviews eventually. Once I watch more ponies.
The SciFi fest (now titled The SciFi Fanfic Festival - alliteration ftw) is a thing that is happening! I've got![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

scifi_fest up, though they're both empty a.t.m., a tentative date schedule (prompting starts May 15th, claiming May 30th, Posting June 15th), and a working description of SciFi (you'd think this part would be easy, but noooo): Science Fiction is the exploration of the future / an alternate now / an alternate past through the lens of technology and science (where ‘science’ is everything from astrophysics to biology to sociology). This is the first time I've done anything like run a fic challenge, hopefully I don't make a hash of it.
