I just got an email from "Scouting America" the latest name for what used to be called the BSA. They announce that they've agreed with the "Dept of War" aka the DOD that they will add a merit badge about Military Service and _remove_ the Citizenship in Society merit badge...
I had mumps at age 12, luckily it only affected my head and not my other parts. I would not wish it on anyone, period. For my kids to get the MMR was personal, measles was already uncommon when I was a kid but mumps and rubella were both common...

I have my dad’s copies of the 2 issues of MF&SF that serialized The Pale Brown Thing, need to read “Our Lady of Darkness” to see where he went with it!
Matthew Cheney@melikhovo.bsky.social · 7mo agoAlso, somebody needs to bring Leiber's late, perhaps-autobiographical novel "Our Lady of Darkness" back into physical print. There's an ebook, but in print it seems only to be available used for huge money.
I can’t reply to the original post, but when I was an undergrad working for a physics lab that studied cosmic rays we cleared out an old store room… found some panels that had a grid of wire across them, only the wire had been torn open…

Start your day off with the unfettered pleasures of Pieter Bruegel's marvelous Children's Games of 1560: an entire town taken over by children at play. Today is Bruegel's day.
