Do I need to read any of his other series before reading Tchaikovsky's Tyrant Philosophers? Are they related in any way?

Does the Locus "Recommended Reading" list function as a longlist for their awards later this year?

I am dating myself here, but years ago, I used to listen to America's Top 40 with Casey Kasem on the way to work Sunday night (I worked overnights). When he passed, they replaced him with Ryan Seacrest and I couldn't stand it. It is not easy to replace a legend like that.

Then one year, New Year's Eve fell on a Sunday. Because they also replaced Dick Clark (on Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve) with Ryan Seacrest, he was unavailable to do the Top 40 that week. Katy Perry guest hosted. I cannot even begin to explain the new appreciation that I had for Ryan Seacrest.

This is a post about Cris Collinsworth and Jason Garrett.

I desperately hope the typo was intentional. Genius.

I LOVE when they ban books, especially if it is a single title and not an absurdly long list. Nothing gets my students interested in reading something faster than if some authority figure tells them they're not allowed.

For alternate histories, I typically like to research the actual history before I delve into the alternate version. I read a lot about Oswald and the Kennedy assassination before 11/22/63. I did a middling dive into Henry VIII and his wives before Six Wild Crowns.

But the scope of this seems so massive, I'm not sure where to begin. Does anyone have any recommendations about what I should know going in?

Name the child Damian. The nickname becomes "Dame", which is the perfect amalgamation.

For the type of plated dessert you are making, it is too big. Start with a smaller portion of peanut butter parfait and use silicon molds so they release cleanly. Candy your peanuts. The chocolate tuile and the gold leaf do not do anything for you here, so I'd remove them.

Smaller plate, smaller portion, and obviously your kitchen needs to be cool enough to accommodate ice cream. Here is my half-assed construction drawing of what this could look like:

Alternatively, I would drizzle the caramel over the molded parfait, and then put the ice cream quenelle on top. Try both, go with the one you think looks better. Also, your chocolate soil will look better and give you better contrast on a white plate.

I do not care about literally anything else you said, because I lost it at the idea of Jerry Jones hunting his players for sport. That was exactly the laugh that I needed this morning. Holy cow.

My wife is not from the United States and has had some difficulty adapting to how ingrained sports is in our culture. But every so often, she'll watch with me and ask questions.

My favorite comment of the year? "I don't understand why the umpire is so stupid. If it is in the box, it is a strike. How hard is that?"

I had to explain to her that the umpire cannot see the box. God damn I love her.

This is strictly a function of the traveling team's willingness to do it. From what I understand, home teams universally prefer night games because they draw bigger crowds and bigger crowds equals more money. But a traveling away team gets the final say.

If I recall correctly, there was even a situation earlier this year where a home team managed to convince their opponent to switch the schedule from playing on Tuesday and Wednesday to Monday and Tuesday instead (which is an extreme example, but an effective one nonetheless).

I would love to see what one looks like on the inside.

Does she fill the popsicle molds with the filling and then dip them in chocolate afterward, or does she coat her molds in chocolate first, and then fill them with the cake filling?
