The Nazi Hydra in America Suppressed History of A Century by Glen Yeadon
Provocative and highly controversial, The Nazi Hydra in America reveals the dark secrets of the fascist influence in the USA. While Eisenhower's troops defeated The Third Reich on the battlefields of Europe, the war against fascism was lost on the home front, to the very cadre of American plutocrats who built and paid for Hitler's war machine.

BRIDGE. To make a bridge of any one's nose; to push the bottle past him, so as to deprive him of his turn of filling his glass; to pass one over. Also to play booty, or purposely to avoid winning.

The SF I write was always "not mainstream"—YA then singularity stuff but not the way many in the genre showcased SV's toxic tech religion...
But since I've been writing #solarpunk, it's the clearest rebuttal to this history of fashy SF.

I remember being confused when the 1985 Expert expansion set for Swedish BRP Magic World talked about movies and how RPGs should be like them. I rarely went to the movies, we had no VCR, and I saw RPGs as a way of visiting *books*. (-;

Oliver Goldsmith's comedy She Stoops to Conquer is performed for the first time, at the Covent Garden Theatre in London.
Initially the play was titled Mistakes of a Night and the events within the play take place in one long night. In 1778, John O'Keeffe wrote a loose sequel, Tony Lumpkin in Town.

The Blue Flame, a four-act play by George V. Hobart and John Willard after Leta Vance Nicholson, opens at the Shubert Theatre on Broadway before a year's U.S. tour. Though described by a critic as "one of the worst plays ever written," it is a commercial success, largely due to Theda Bara as the central character of a vamp.

Weather and Climate Experiments by Pamela Walker, 2009
Study of the weather and climate helps students understand weather conditions and the science behind weather research. Temperature, barometric pressure, wind, and precipitation are just a few of the types of data routinely collected and analyzed by meteorologists. By studying weather, students can understand more about what is going on in the world around them.
