Right-wing racists say the quiet part out loud, from Minnesota rep to Megyn Kelly screeching her Karen Hate; Mahmdani freezes rent for some joyous New Yorkers; Trump tries to put the king-baby kibosh on a shockingly bipartisan housing act (that even Susan Collins supported). Packed with Wonkette wit, snarkiness on the reporting side; with a nice smattering of our original satire.

The algae-laden Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC takes to the microphone to share his tale of outrage and woe; vintage sci-fi legend Robert Silverberg's "The Happy Unfortunate" wraps up with wild violence and a final decision on the part of our hero, genetically-modified and socially ostracized "Spacer," Rolf Dekker.

Coral reefs need people like Dr. David Vaughan, a marine biologist who's devoted his life to studying the mysteries of coral reefs and developing methods to restore them to their former grandeur. These vital ecosystems, relied upon by 1 billion humans and serving as the most biodiverse places on earth, face extinction due to warming oceans, more acidic and more polluted oceans as well as other threats to survival, mainly due to humans.
