#Yhdysvallat ja "demokratia":
"Texasin osavaltiossa vallassa olevat #republikaanit pyrkivät edesauttamaan voittoa siten, että he esittävät osavaltion vaalipiirien jaon muuttamista. Demokraattien mielestä muutos merkitsisi, että #Texas iin syntyisi viisi republikaanienemmistöistä vaalipiiriä lisää.
Tämä viisi riittää edustajainhuoneen pysymiseen republikaaneilla ja vaikuttaisi erittäin paljon koko maan #politiikka an."

●●○○○ A New Faith - TinJar (nov) 2025
Continued climate change resulted in more and more droughts, floods, storms, famines, and most notably, heatwaves, with temperatures and humidity that were simply unsurvivable. After a bad month where tens of millions worldwide died from heatstroke, a woman in Norway had an idea.Kaija was a Sami leader, and the governments of Norway, Sweden, and Finland had just ceded the Sami people a homeland across the north of their countries. At the ceremony celebrating the land transfer, Kaija invited climate refugees to live in the Far North. The three governments freaked.
After protests and hunger strikes, the city of Sequoia was founded, and began taking in select refugees. All was reasonably well at first, then after five years the city had its first murder, and a month later, a second. Since both victims were Muslim men, tensions between Muslims and Christians and Hindus were inflamed, resulting in riots in cities worldwide, as well as groups gunning down other groups. And more murders in Sequoia.
I was hoping for a cozy murder mystery in a hopepunk setting. I frankly wasn't into the hunger strikes, hate groups, riots, massacres, lectures about the evils of plutocrats. I read books to pleasantly distract myself, not to experience real-world problems in my fiction. The novel is well-written but not what I wanted. Still, if you like painfully realistic stories where you can feel miserable, you might like it.
●●●●○ The Unsworth Manor Nudes {Unsworth Manor 1} - P.Z. Walker (nov) 2017
Cedric Unsworth, the Earl of Unsworth (a Very Proper English gentleman) and his German wife Margarete (twenty-eighth in line to the throne of Germany) decide to take their two kids and visit Margarete's cousin Augusta (and her husband, Kaiser Wilhelm II). While there, they find that Wilhelm, his wife, and their six kids are practitioners of Frei Körper Kultur, free body culture: naturism.This leads to Cedric and Gretchen⁵, and their kids Max and Rose⁶, all being taken to a lake where Wilhelm and Augusta and their kids — as well as scores of other people — enjoyed lying on the beach unclothed, playing in the water naked, and picnicking nude. Max and Rose adapt quickly, but it was a trial of fear and embarrassment for their parents.
But eventually they (as well as the governess the Unsworths brought on their journey) joined in nude activities. After an hour, everything seemed normal and everyone was having fun, such that Max and Rose asked the Empress if they could go again another day, and everyone did.
When the Unsworths went home, they found that they now all strongly disliked wearing heavy Victorian clothing in warm weather, so they decided to adopt a quiet nude lifestyle. Two of their four servants ended up quickly joining in; their cook found she couldn't strip, but wasn't bothered when others did; pledging not to gossip, the manservant asked to be let go. So now when it was warm, the Unsworths only dressed when they had company, and Miss Nancy conducted lessons on the back lawn, nude like her two charges.
The Unsworths managed to find other people who enjoyed nudity, and invited them to come to the mansion. This is the first book in a trilogy showing how Unsworth Manor came to host a nudist family, then later became a nudist resort, then how it revived after a post-WW2 slump and changed to survive the latter part of the century.
●●●●○ Dogs of War {Dogs of War 1} - Adrian Tchaikovsky (nov) 2017
Rex is the leader of a Bioform combat team. He's a two-meter-tall, uplifted, gene-mod, cyber-enhanced dog outfitted with heavy shoulder-mount weapons. His teammates include Honey, an even taller biomod bear who's smarter than Rex and carries a huge gun; Dragon, who has komodo dragon roots, with chameleon camouflage and a back-mounted sniper rifle; and Bees, who's a swarm of bees with a distributed sapience (totally unexpected, and her handlers don't know about it); she acts as scout and has the ability to produce several types of venom, from knockout to neurotoxin.Revolution has beset Mexico, and international corporations have hired private mercenary armies to fight for them and their property rights. RedMark is one such, and it runs Bioform teams. When an undercover UN spy (posing as a corporate auditor) comes to investigate human rights violations, she's exposed, and a firefight ensues.
Rex and team end up on the run in a country awash with private armies, local militias, upstart warlords, and remnant government forces. They hook up with an isolated village, protecting it from various dangerous groups while Honey uses local internet links to try to figure out if there's a future for their kind. Can Rex, hardwired for loyalty, find a path to freedom? Can Bees, the only member who needs corporate resources to live — her worker-unit bodies only last 100 days, and her breeding rack was left behind — even survive?
The second half of the book shows how Bioforms gain rights and become part of society, with flashforward chapters showing ever deeper integration.
●●●◐○ He Dies and Makes No Sign {Dr. Constantine 3} - Molly Thynne (nov) 1933
Family friend Dr. Constantine is called in by the Duchess of Steynes. Her thirty-five-year-old son has finally expressed interest in a woman: an unsuitable commoner in showbiz. Duchess Violet wants Constantine to pressure Duke Bertie into making Alex drop Betty.The matter gets more complicated when Betty's only surviving relative, her grandfather Julius Anthony, sends a letter to Alex requesting a meeting, saying the Alex–Betty match can't happen. The old man vanished the night he sent the letter. Dr. Constantine calls on his friend, Detective-Inspector Arkwright of Scotland Yard, to help find the missing man in this, their third and final case together.¹
It's discovered that after his regular Tuesday night out with friends, Mr. Anthony planned to meet someone at the Trastevere restaurant, a building on the far side of the Steynes property that used to be the stables. Several people saw him enter the restaurant (with his violin case) and leave it (without), and then he vanished,² only for his body to be found two days later, a day after the apartment where he lived with his granddaughter was ransacked and pages from his diary torn out while Betty was at work.
Later it's discovered that Julius was drugged, twice: something he drank knocked him out, then an injection killed him. And the body was hidden in the theatre in which he worked. Also, the Duchess says that the Trastavere restaurant has been serving a class of people lower than the owner, Civita, had promised he would. Including the wild young Lady Malmsey, who's known to use drugs…
●●●○○ A Fateful Reunion - Martin Brant (nov) 2017
Paul's nasty divorce officially concluded a month ago, and since then the 28yo real-estate lawyer had mostly huddled in his new apartment. But when he got an email about his twenty-year high school reunion, he decided he had to use it as an excuse to try to start living again.There he met Betty, a girl from history class he'd liked, but hadn't had the nerve to ask out. Turns out she'd liked him, too, but since he'd never said anything, neither did she. Betty works in advertising, and five months ago ended a long-term relationship that had gone sour.
Betty finds herself attracted to Paul. They end up leaving the reunion and walking on the beach, where Paul mentions that he's a nudist.⁴ In fact, he invites her to go to Black's Beach with him and his 12yo twins Tricia and Philip next weekend. Betty accepts.
A few days after the reunion Paul invites Betty to have dinner at his place. When he offhandedly mentions that he'd usually be nude, Betty agrees that some practice nudity might be a good idea. The pair have a comfortable evening, with no sexual energy or innuendo.
As she reveals to a nudist friend of Paul's she meets while at the beach with the kids, Betty realizes that Paul “is wounded. His heart is broken, even his masculinity, self-confidence, and pride.” She knows he feels like a failure, as she did when her ex-boyfriend dumped her for a pair of boobs. But Betty has decided that Paul is a good man, and when he finally heals, the two of them might become more than friends. He's worth waiting for. And this is their story.
●●●◐○ Tenth Artifact {Artifact 10} - David Collins (nov) 2025
Another episode of light-adventure scifi. Two minor problems I have with this series. One is that in every novel two to four new aliens races are introduced. They're described the first time they show up, but then rarely are in subsequent appearances.Which leaves me thinking "What does a Kassaker look like again? Or a Zemi?" There is a cast list with descriptions at the end of the novel, but I'd really like two sentences of what a race looks like when I meet them: in every book, not just the series.
The second problem is the basic conceit. In the first book, Ben accidentally acquired a piece of tech that connected him with a sapient Artificial General Intelligence stuck on an empty, stranded starship on Luna.
In every book since, while voyaging on that ship (and the bigger and better hulls that AI Jessie gets transferred to), Ben and crew find new-old derelicts, with unknown tech like a better FTL drive⁵, an artificial gravity system, subspace scanners, or whatever.
And many times they rescue some aliens from stasis pods — most races invent FTL, send out tests ships, and lose the first two or three of them — who end up joining the mixed crew of the Stardust III. Finding treasure after treasure just strains credulity.
Ignoring the plot lines carried over from previous books, the major plot of this novel is Ben and crew discovering yet another derelict, from which they find enough information to track the ship back to its originating star system, where they find Lessoms (chimp-size sugar gliders) on the second planet; their tech is about 200 years past Earth's.
On the third planet they find Jinakas (anorexic werewolves), whose tech is 100 years behind Terra's. They also encounter the Clothis people (furry, eight-limbed, grizzly-size tardigrades), who stop by from a neighboring star system. Turns out there's trouble between these peoples.
●●●●○ More Unsworth Manor Nudes {Unsworth Manor 2} - P.Z. Walker (nov) 2018
We begin this second Unsworth novel with a former fighter pilot looking to buy the manor, which is deserted and run down. While Avery is looking around, the realtor tells him that the former residents all died when the Lusitania was sunk. The family we followed in the first novel — Cedric and Gretchen, their kids Max and Rose, Nancy the young governess — all wiped out offscreen. Well, that sucks.Anyway, Avery the American, Great War pilot, scion of an industrialist — not just anyone can afford a ten-bedroom Manor — finds Gretchen's diary, and becomes interested in the nudist lifestyle her family and staff lived. He tries being nude a few evenings after the workmen who are repairing and modernizing the manor have left for the day. He even goes nude in the back garden, and swims nude in the pool when it's completed. He enjoys it.
Then it's back to the US to deal with some business. He invites the woman he's previously dated to visit. She does so a month after he returns, when the house is ready, but their relationship founders. Avery likes nudism; Lisa thinks no civilized person would go unclothed. Despite his nudist ways, Avery is a proper gentleman. He finds that Lisa has changed while he was away, and she now drinks too much and parties too hard, the bad sort of Prohibition-era flapper.
Avery continues in his nudist ways, and like the Unsworths before him, he finds his staff is willing to go along with the lifestyle. Avery also befriends some titled refugees from the Continent, and finds out they're involved in something illegal. And he acquires a girlfriend who eventually becomes his wife. I thought this trilogy was about a naturist resort, but apparently that's only the case for the third volume. If that.
●●◐○○ Civilizations - Laurent Binet (nov) 2019
A series of murders and flights from vengeance sent various groups of Vikings from Norway to Iceland to Greenland to Vinland. Eventually a woman named Freydis came to lead a large group with several ships, along with their horses and cattle. They worked their way down the eastern coast of North America, stopping from time to time to spend a year, making friends with some Skraelings and enemies of others.The Vikings learned local crops and customs, and taught the natives how to make bog iron. But after some time, the Skraelings inevitably became sick with smallpox and other European diseases, and the Vikings moved on, usually leaving some horses and cattle behind. Some of Freydis's group settled in Cuba, while she and the other half continued on to Mayan territory, and eventually down to Peru.
Desired result one: the natives of North and South America are exposed to European diseases early, and have a chance to recover before Columbus shows up some 500 years later. They also know how to work iron, and have horses and cattle. Columbus shows up on schedule. The natives get more horses and cattle, more tools and knowledge, plus guns (though they don't learn how to make gunpowder). Things end badly for the Genoan. Desired result two: one young woman learns Castillian. This sets up the Chronicles of Atahualpa.
When the Sapa Inca died, his sons Huacar and Atalhuapa fought for the throne of the Incan Empire. The latter ends up being forced ever northward with his retreating army. Eventually the young prince ends up on Cuba, where he meets the middle-aged Higuénamota, the princess who knows Castillian. He's also shown the hulks of two of Columbus's boats. Atahualpa has his people fix those ships, and build a larger third ship, and sets forth across the sea.
Higuénamota comes along, and the three ships of non-sailors who grew up in the Andean mountains successfully arrive in Lisbon, sailing in on a tsunami, after a great earthquake has leveled the town. (In our timeline, this happened in 1755, but Binet moves it to the early 1500s, because if it helps your plot, why not?) Events happen, and Atahualpa and his people end up walking to Spain.
More buckets of authorial fiat then water the plot, as Atahualpa ends up taking over Spain, setting up an alternative to taxation, providing for the poor, abolishing the Inquisition, instituting freedom of religion, and becoming a power in Europe, culminating in being crowned the Holy Roman Emperor. A restrained #AlternateHistory tale of "one small change" this is not.
He also starts trans-Atlantic trade with his brother (who sends a fleet that magically arrives, in the nick of time, at the city where Atahualpa and his forces were being besieged, which wasn't the city he was in when Higuénamota was sent to Huacar), and more. And Pedro Pizarro, Lorenzo de Medici, Michelangelo, Martin Luther, and loads of other famous people make appearances.
As usual, non-SF writers don't write SF according to the conventions, which can annoy people who like those conventions, but if one makes allowance after allowance, and doesn't choke on the "you're kidding me" moments, the book isn't terrible.⁰ At least the first three-quarters or so. I admit my patience plummeted when the Aztecs showed up in Europe.
●●●●○ The Hemingway Hoax - Joe Haldeman (nov)² 1996
Our story begins with a conman, Sylvester Castlemaine (Call me Castle) and a literature professor, John Baird, who specialized in Ernest Hemingway. A casual conversation reveals that early in Hemingway's career he'd lost a suitcase of manuscripts, encompassing half of a novel he'd written, and ten or twenty short stories.Castle more-than-halfway interested Baird in attempting to forge that half-novel, which he could do, since he had an eidetic memory and likely knew more than anyone in the world about Hemingway and his works. Baird had also published some short stories earlier in his career, so he could write, as well. And since payments from John's trust fund would soon stop, leaving him in a financial hole, why not try?
For reasons beyond the comprehension of mere humans, this drew the notice of forces who monitored the timelines of the multiverse. Rather than an Element who looked like a blond Russian spy being assigned to the case, à la Sapphire and Steel, the agent assigned to Baird looked like Hemingway. It switched between avatars of the writer at various ages. After a conversation on a train, that agent killed Baird for threatening to upset events in the near future.
For reasons beyond the comprehension of extra-dimensional beings, Baird's death did not take. He woke up in his own body — with different wounds from Vietnam, and with a second set of memories that matched his new timeline³ — and life carried on. And when Baird continued on his forgery quest, not-Ernest showed up and killed him again, in a different way, to see if it stuck. It did not, and things began to get rather more odd.
●●◐○○ The Case of the Quaker Quarry {Miles Grant 21} - Jack Dearborn (nov) 2022
A wealthy clothier hires Miles to find his missing college-age daughter. An interview with her roommate reveals that Annalise took some outfits with her, and her teddy bear, so she wasn't kidnapped. Miles investigates, and finds the young woman sold the car her parents gave her, using the money to buy a ticket to Los Angeles.Miles finds out that Annalise, who was into theater, had talked about meeting her agent, whom Miles manages to track down. It's revealed that the man is more than just an agent, that Annalise is a prisoner, and that the man had plans for her.
The mystery part of the novel is workaday, if a bit sleazy. I know that the Miles Grant series ends three books from now, after a case that made Miles fully retire because it was too much. I wonder if we're descending toward that.
The flirty nudity part isn't great, because Miles travelled to Los Angeles alone, leaving Shirley back in Seattle with her mother. Miles does encounter a nudist couple he met before, upon a nudist cruise, but they just come across as sad, and the fact that the man had the questionable contacts needed to find the skeevy agent didn't help.

Saunanaluskävely Aurajoen rantamilla tyttären kanssa. Ravattulan Ristimäen viereiseltä mäeltä kunnolla sammaloituneita kai suojeltuja kiviä, jotain kukkia joen rannassa ("ota äidille kuva"), ilta-aurinkoinen näkymä Auran alajuoksulle merkillisesti vihertyneen tienoon lävitse, ja pakollinen Mustin poseeraus.
Ei voinut kuin ihmetellä, kuinka joka ikisestä oksasta ja maan huokosesta koettaa tunkea jotain vihreää. "Kuinka ne aina viittii?" Muutos viikon takaiseen on 2½, välttääkseni vielä kuluneempia kuvailevia kokomääreitä.

Where the Malan Blooms.
60 Years After the First #Chinese #NuclearBomb.
"Malan, a type of iris, is also the name of China’s only nuclear arms testing base, and 21 was its military unit number. Situated on the northwestern edge of Lop Nur in Xinjiang, it’s named after the eponymous plant common in the arid landscape. The Chinese government formally acknowledged the site in 1987. Since then, the blossoming of the malan has become a euphemism for the Chinese nuclear weapons program, inscribed in military ballads and school plays.
This October 16 marks the 60th anniversary of the testing of the first Chinese nuclear bomb. When my friends and I coiled up our jump ropes and returned to class, we learned inspirational tales about the earliest generation of Chinese nuclear scientists, who left the comfort of home for the northwestern frontier and toiled in anonymity to forge the country’s atomic shield. In the same classrooms and from the same textbooks, we also marveled at our motherland’s vastness and diversity: every inch on the map had been part of China since time immemorial, and the Han majority and all 55 ethnic minorities constituted one big happy family."

Reti: We couldn't afford to put everything we wanted to in the budget.
Mihi Forbes: You gave NZ$2.9 billion to landlords and didn't put in the few million required for the cancer drugs you promised. That was a choice.

Oli tarkoitus lähettää tutulle lukutoukalle jenkkilään Osuuskumman The Lion and the Lynx novellikokoelma.
Enpäs sitten lähettänyt. Postin sivuilta kun valitsee Yhdysvallat kohteeksi niin sieltä tulee vaan että:
"Yhdysvaltojen hallinnon päätös vaikuttaa 22.8. alkaen Yhdysvaltoihin suuntautuviin lähetyksiin. USA:han ei voi tällä hetkellä lähettää paketteja. Lue listää tästä: https://www.posti.fi/ajankohtaista-postilla/tiedotteet/trumpin-hallinnon-paatos"
Siis muistanhan minä että tuosta oli jotain kohinaa viime vuonna, mutta kun kyllä tuo tyrmistyttää kun omakohtaisesti naamalle lävähti. Että "EI VOI" - miten NIIN ei voi? 🤯 Olin kai ajatellut että kyllähän tuon suuruusluokan asia nyt on jo tähän mennessä setvitty. Hah, hah.
Ja tämmöiseen maan hoteisiin on meidän päättäjät myymässä meidän henkilö- ja terveystietoja 🤦♂️ 🤦♂️

Nach einer ruhigen Nacht in San José de Metán haben wir an der Fernstraße 9 in Ruhe gefrühstückt. In der Stadt gibt es viele Bäckereien. Das haben wir gleich ausgenutzt um frische Bachwaren zu kaufen. Den kleinen Platz haben wir zufällig an der Straße entdeckt. 😀

NANPING HISTORIC TRAIL and MATAI HISTORIC TRAIL (南坪古道/馬胎古道)
This gentle and pleasant trail looping from Neiwan Old Street takes you up to the smal tribal village of Matai via historic footpaths and past pretty fern-laced streams.
I found this walk to be the perfect antidote to summer’s relentless heat, and the fact that it starts and finishes at the town of Neiwan only adds to the appeal.

1/2 Sitä olen tässä miettinyt, että miten pitkälle #PekkaHaavisto vielä ehtiikään ennen #presidentinvaalit viedä oikeistokonservatiivilarppauksensa, kun nyt on jo elokuussa ilmoitettu (maan historian pahimman #austerity-hallituksen istuessa), ettei olla yhtään punaisia ja marraskuussa huudettu #RajatKiinni
2012 oli sentäs jo tammikuu, kun #Haavisto rinnasti sikatiloja kuvanneet #eläinaktivistit uusnatseihin ja sanoi, että "pihasusien" tappaminen on ihan ok.
