Another person posted the article! I am glad you posted it. Good read. The link pulls up pop-ups and a paywall. Damned annoying to see this every time i try to read from daily beast. It is getting to be so common that i think a courtesy would be to post an alternative link. Sorry that you are taking it personally.

Much appreciated. Great article.
Please stop posting "the daily beast" it has a paywall and is unreadable. The exception is if you provide an archive.ph link or post the entire text. Anything else is a bit lazy imo.
And yet the Ukraine forces are successful! I heard they developed new technology called bridges and boats.
Try archive.ph
Thank you. Thats a good start.
An off subject question for the mods. Could we have subjects that can be subscribed to placed into broad categories? I would like to view "all" while never seeing either foreign language or sports. It would be much easier to block "sports" or "not english" for example.
Trees Planted by the City in East Portland Two Years Ago Are Dead Because the City Didn’t Water Them
Why is this news worthy? Happens all the time. Even happans when there is regular watering. Seems that in a typical weather period in Portland it wouldn't be necessary to manually water the trees, rain would be enough. Absolutely not news worthy unless you are trying to hate on Portland.
Ain't no woman like a one-eyed dog. Sooo catchy.
Some that might not have been mentioned:
Will Wight the Cradle series. Kinda silly but definitely fun.
Julian May the Pleiocene Saga. One of my favorites. Written in the 90s so... Not current but still good.
Mark Lawrence - enjoying most of his books. The Impossible Times trilogy is certainly fun.
Richard Morgan used to be one of my favorites until Netflix ruined the Takeshi Kovacs books.
Again with the older authors: Philip K. Dick (everything). Vonnegut (most, but not the last few books) Gene Wolfe books of the new sun cycle, 12 books if you consider the books of the long sun/short sun. Kinda surreal but hypnotic and addicting. Strugatsky, Roadside Picnic. A classic. Ursula K. Leguin, most of her titles - not as easily read -as there is an emotional level that needs to be absorbed. The Books of Earthsea and the Dispossessed are absolute master level writing.
