    These articles and polls, framing trump's deranged russo-imposed plans as a legit proposal, do not help at all.

    They just normalize this fucking insane shit

      Can we stop posting this headline? Again and again and again?

      It's not news.

      If a sizable portion of the population did want to do something stupid, that'd be news.

      This is... It's not even propaganda. It's just a waste of our limited time and emotional capacity for idiocy.

        Hell. Don't take the whole thing. Just move the boarder to the 45th parallel as opposed to the 49th.

          Yeah, it's frustrating to see anyone even bother spending time on this nonsense. It does just normalize the absolute insanity of what is going on - it's more damaging to publish this poll than to ignore it altogether imo.

                    I mean. Imo that's only fair. Sure they are getting one of the world's larger economics (WA state + Portland), they are also getting Montana, Idaho, and a good chunk of the Dakota's...

                      Sure, I guess it depends on your style preferences... I prefer science fiction, so can't remember much about the sword and sorcery novels, but they're readable, and like anything Delaney does, underpinned with exploration of the power of words, ideas, power, desire.

                      Stay away from Dhalgren.

                      Nova is probably the most space opera novel with a standard structure. Good starting place.

                      Babel-17 is intense and weird and fairly short, about language as a weapon. Sometimes you find a copy doubled up with Empire Star which has a plot and structure that loops back on itself.

                      Probably my favourite is Stars in my Pocket Like Grains of Sand which is probably the most alien yet approachable family portrayal in SF. Sadly it's the first half of a duology that didn't get finished, probably because it stands alone really well.

                      The short story collections vary but are mostly wins for any reader.

                      I forgot to mention that yes, it was definitely Dhalgren.

                      Anyhow, yes to SciFi. Space Opera sounds most suitable to me, so that's where I'll start.

                      Thanks!
