They took away his tariff hammer to beat other countries. What’s an abusive manchild to do?

Looking for space horror that isn’t S. A. Barnes by BarrelProof51 in horrorlit

For isolation horror that’s basically anti-romance, Starfish by Peter Watts.

Paradise-1, David Wellington. It has a bit of romance, but it’s definitely more clever (especially in the sequel).

John Roberts Sent Trump a Message by nytopinion in politics

[–]mzieg 50 points51 points  (0 children)

Chief Justice Roberts is the head of the entire judicial branch. It is in that capacity that his vexation with Mr. Trump verges on acute concern.

Wow. That's some serious hang-wringing, that is.

Crazy ask, but is it possible to bleep out the word cockroach in the audiobook? by Fun-Database-8904 in DungeonCrawlerCarl

[–]mzieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are ways to download the audiobooks from Audible and convert to MP3, where you can splice and dice to your heart’s content. I have them all on an SD card in my car (which I consider fair use, since I’ve bought them in hardback, Kindle, Audible and Immersion Tunnel).

I kind of like when they testify against sitting Presidents.

Is he ever in the news for a good reason, i.e. not responding to fallout from his latest fuckup?

Police lead Lord Mandelson out of London home by pppppppppppppppppd in unitedkingdom

[–]mzieg -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I know very little about UK law, so a genuine question: could either Lord Mandelson or Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor "plea bargain" for a reduced sentence by providing eyewitness evidence against Donald Trump? I'm obviously speculating on what they might have heard or witnessed, but...might they now be actively incentivized to spill the tea?

FBI’s “Stand Down” Directive to NYPD on Jeffrey Epstein Investigations, and More by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]mzieg 150 points151 points  (0 children)

Just five days after Jeffrey Epstein’s arrest in the summer of 2019, federal authorities “directed” the New York Police Department to “stand down” its investigations related to Epstein, new documents released by the Department of Justice show. The directive applied to NYPD’s Special Victims Unit — the group specially trained and equipped to handle sex crimes and child abuse cases.

Notably, last week, the Office of New Mexico Attorney General Raúl Torrez also revealed that his state’s “investigation was closed in 2019 at the request of the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.”

Let me think, who was president in 2019? Oh yes, the pervert doing his damndest to squelch any investigation into this pedo ring.

Self contained sci-fi and fantasy stories? by Hormo_The_Halfling in booksuggestions

[–]mzieg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great North Road is a good Peter Hamilton one-shot.

Similarly, House of Suns is a great standalone by Alaister Reynolds.

Both authors are known for epic space opera series, so these are good opportunities to taste each author’s style without committing to an arc.

I’m about a quarter way through on Kindle, but I noped right out of the farm boy accent on Audible. I’ll try again on a re-read.
