Just come across this interesting mapping site.

https://zoom.earth/maps/temperature-wet-bulb/#view=22.1,76.47,5z/model=icon

They have wet bulb temp forecasts at 2m air temperature. Several places in S and SE Asia hitting 28C which is really not good. 35C Wet Bulb is generally considered the limit of survivability.

One novel was written by a speed crazy, pennilless SciFi visionary while still learning his trade in 1962.

The other by an old hand at the end of his career in 2006.

Both have much to say abut the state of the world in 2026.

JG Ballard - Kingdom Come imagines a revolution where a UK Surrey, M25 shopping mall is taken over and locked down by a messianic right wing leader and his sports fan, drunken, native, supporters wearing St George flag clothing.

The narrator is his policy wonk SPAD who's father is shot while trying to escape the initial riot. Published in 2006, imagining summer 2025, only slightly exaggerated.

An author using the Wilhelm - I Ching (and lots of amphetamines) to plot a novel about an alternate history where Germany-Japan won WWII. Containing a character using the I Ching to plot a novel in which Germany-Japan lost WWII.

2/3 in there's a discussion between a US salesman of historic American artefacts and his Japanese customer. About modern, handcrafted US made jewellery and it's "wu". Blew me away.

I think we've got a new family, The "&Tonic". 50ml ~20%ABV thing, 150ml mini-can of Tonic - Schweppes classic or a specific flavour.

All the Vermouths. All the Amaro. Campari/Aperol bitters. Limoncello, St Germain, Galliano. All the Sherry & Port. Fernet! All the Combos eg 25ml vermouth, 25ml Campari. Then the slightly more alcoholic 25ml spirit, 25ml low ABV. And the slightly less alcoholic, 25ml Botivo.

I've been working through all 4 series and 40 episodes of "The Man In The High Castle", Only 4 to go. While re-reading the book. And also reading J.G. Ballard's final book "Kingdom Come".

Thoroughly immersed in topical SciFi Dystopias. Full of woo, self-referential tautologies and tragic destiny.

Mmmm. Box fresh, Converse All Star, Chuck Taylor, Low Top, black canvas, white rim. The previous pair date to about 2010. They're now a nice bleached grey, grubby but with broken heels.

The last few days have reminded me that Israel, USA and Russia have two default positions even if they're in the middle of peace negotiations.

1) Ceasefire means "You cease, we fire". And that doesn't mean the ceasefire is over.

2) Blow stuff up. Nothing reminds them you're serious as much as blowing stuff up. Especially if it's double-taps on medics, journos and children.

Get Your War On!
