    What book are you reading now?

    Just finished Starter Villain by John Scalzi. No way to adequately describe it without massive spoilers. But there are cats, dolphins, whales and an international conspiracy of villains. And a private island. With a volcano, of course.

    CAN-USA Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    The RCAF's Next Generation Fighter (CF-188 Replacement)

    Liberal (Minority/Majority) Government 2025 - ???
