What’s the story behind the story? What inspired you to write Spirit Sight? What happens to children whose magical gifts cause pain in people around them? What would their lives be like?

The reasons are lost to the mists of memory, but I was hooked. It took three years, but Spirit Sight is one answer to those questions.

A multibillion-dollar slate of moderate climate-mitigation measures in the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act has been met so far with general public approval. But a broader reaction to the historic federal action underlies the discourse: What took you so long? A survey-based study published on Tuesday suggests that a shared delusion among nearly all Americans could contribute to the long delay in significant federal climate policy. Despite polls showing widespread concern about climate change and majority support for policies to mitigate it, the new study shows that Americans almost universally underestimate the extent of climate concern among their compatriots. They…

It seems like Elon Musk is getting in on the raging culture war surrounding The Lord of the Rings: The Rings Of Power. The show has faced a significant amount of backlash since its release, on multiple fronts. Some people don’t like the pacing, others don’t like how action-packed it is for a Tolkien show, and others have less reasonable complaints.Reviews for the show were pushed back after it was the subject of a review-bombing campaign. A number of people claim that the show isn’t “true to Tolkien’s original vision,” which really just seems to be a roundabout way to say that they…

Just as waterfront mansions are status symbols for today’s rich and famous, ancient artificial islands in the British Isles known as crannogs may have been used by elites to display their power and wealth through elaborate parties, a new study finds. A crannog is “an artificial island within a lake, wetland, or estuary,” Antony Brown of UiT Arctic University of Norway and colleagues wrote in a study published online Wednesday (Sept. 28) in the journal Antiquity (opens in new tab). Hundreds of crannogs were created in Scotland, Wales and Ireland, between 4,000 B.C. and the 16th century A.D., by building up…

Photography by Kim Simms/Netflix Whatever you think this movie is about — you’re probably wrong. By Natalie Michie Date September 22, 2022 Where would the teen movie genre be without the makeover montage? I mean, when it comes to on-screen high school hierarchies, it’s the oldest trick in the book. We’re all familiar with the formula: a reluctant, unfashionable new girl undergoes a complete transformation in the image of the queen bee character. But in Netflix’s Do Revenge, this trope — and all its problematic associations — is explored in a whole new way. Filled with plenty of pettiness, campy…

Skateboarding games have seen a solid resurgence over the past few years thanks to quality releases such as OlliOlli and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 + 2, novelties that didn’t quite hit the mark like Skatebird and Skater XL, and even upcoming titles like EA’s Skate reboot. And now Session: Skate Sim is leaving early access during this skating revival and coming out on consoles and PC. Most of the recent skateboard success stories have been through more arcade-like releases — skaters in OlliOlli World do ridiculous combos that could never be done in real life — so Session finds its niche by offering the most realistic skateboarding game to date, which is as compelling…
