The ghostwriter just made up the meeting with the North Korean dictator? That's more like a poltergeist writer.
Eta: "erroneously described" huh? So many ways for the journalists to avoid saying "lied about."

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
Russia attacked Odesa with cluster munitions yesterday. They targeted a city park, killing people who were out walking their dogs (killing dogs, too) or just enjoying a spring day on the park benches.

Re: Dune
I've been wondering whether the use of the word Sietch in Dune was an intentional reference to Ukrainian history, and apparently it is.

Re: Russia's Invasion of Ukraine
Not that I was serious about my conspiracy theory, but Ukraine hit another refinery in Russia today, so I guess my theory was wrong.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Last time I agreed to be polled, they asked how favorably I felt toward Arnold Schwarzenegger running for governor in California. I was laughing so hard, I barely managed to hang up on those pranksters.
Little did I know.

Now the co...

Re: What are you reading?
Oh, that looks interesting! And it's popular, the shortest wait at my libraries is 6 weeks. I finished Thornhedge by T. Kingfisher. It's of the "retelling of a fairy tale with a twist" genre. It's a good Kingfisher, with less focus on romance than the paladin books. She does like her heroe...

That sounds like a mafia shakedown. Is that normal for a political campaign?
