Got all excited when I saw HP, but it’s Potter, not Lovecraft. More power to ’em, but I wish it were not in that notable transphobe’s world. Thinking of all the other sci-fi that goes from fantasy to modern to sci-fi … Zahn’s Spinneret, Stross’ “Merchant Princes TNG”, etc.

They’re too slow, need an expensive hangar to shield them from bad weather, require helium—which is currently scarce—and struggle to land when it’s windy. “And by the way, wind farms tend to be windy,” he says.”

Missing on their list of reasons the administration loves it - anonymous grift and illegal contributions.

It a good series and a good price, because almost all of them are novellas. But i bought several, the writing is quite good.

Pretty sure if the US leaves NATO, they’ll find a way to bring Ukraine in.
