Let's begin with this: the fish doorbell is active again! See fish on the camera, push the button to have the keeper go and let them through.
A lovely profile on Diane Duane, who has been in fandom and making fandom and having her own fandom for many decades at this point.
Bruce Campbell, star of Evil Dead, Brisco County, Jr., Bubba Ho-Tep, and frequent guest star on Xena: Warrior Princess, among other roles, revealed a cancer diagnosis that was going to make his tour for a new movie come up short. Gods-cursed cancer. Here's hoping Bruce can beat it and the treatments are effective.
Permission to use more modern music in figure skating programs has meant an entire series of headaches to obtain copyright clearances to use the music, because skating has not yet worked out appropriate blanket licensing permissions, I guess, with all the relevant countries and possible artists. I'm interested as to why copyright holders and/or companies would reject the use of their music during skating programs or the Olympics, outside of "this person using this music is not someone we want associated with the music."
Because the United States is not a safe place to be, nor to try and enter and exit legally, the Ig Nobel Prizes have moved their award ceremony to Zurich, Switzerland. The Annals of Improbable Research have found something far too probable, about the way that U.S. immigration is treating everyone, so they went somewhere safer.
( And speaking of ignoble people... )
Last for tonight, Black Africans are everywhere in history, including in places where the average studier has their focus pinned down to the whiter side of Europe, instead of the greater world Latin Christendom interacted with.
