What is the best sci-fi novel you've read? There are many good ones. Great ones. Not just because he recently passed away, but Hyperion by Dan Simmons has to be up there for everyone who has read it...




Joseph Duggar, who starred on the TLC show “19 Kids and Counting” alongside his family, was arrested on Wednesday for allegedly sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl. His arrest comes several years after his older brother, Josh Duggar, was accused of molesting five underage girls, including four of his sisters. After being arrested in 2021 on charges of receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material, Josh Duggar was convicted and sentenced to 12 years in prison. variety.com/2026/tv/news/j…

A Wheel of Time animated film and TV series are in development alongside a video game. Producer Thomas Vu said: "I see tremendous opportunity in expanding ‘The Wheel of Time’ into fully authentic, integrated, interactive, and animated storytelling experiences. The depth of the mythology provides a foundation for sustained, multi-platform franchise growth." Do we need more Wheel of Time after Amazon's TV series?

Dan Slott is begging for people to buy his new Spider-Man book. Seriously, Dan, just talk the powers that be into undoing One More Day.

Caleb Hammer explains why rent control doesn’t work “It’s one of those policies that sounds really good and really moral. You want to support it, landlords make less money and people pay less rent. But everywhere it’s been enacted, permitting has dropped significantly, and rents have gone up even faster for the average person, except for the few lucky ones in subsidized housing” “Units go untouched and aren’t maintained at all. I think something like 10-20% of rent controlled units in New York are empty because they can’t be brought up to standard, since it’s not worth investing in. In Massachusetts, rent control was a complete disaster and had to be repealed. In San Francisco, the moment they introduced it, permitting dropped. It just hasn’t worked”
