I owe @paninid@mastodon.world a huge debt of thanks for pointing "Destiny Disrupted: A History of the World Through Islamic Eyes" by Tamim Ansary out to me. I enjoyed it immensely and learned a ton.

Disappointed to hear that there will be no more Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contests. I think I was just about ready to submit my entry, which would have been as memorable as that time when Janet was getting ready to go to her friend Pat&#39;s tenth birthday party and lost her skateboard under a passing M34 bus heading west along, of course, 34th Street; as she watched the skateboard crushed beneath the wheels of the behemoth it gave her pause to consider her own mortality, allowing her to idly re...
