2026-01-28 - Speculative Friction Jonny and Heather are both snowed in this week, but Jonny has a good mic and computer and power at home, so he offers this episode born from staying home during snow and SERIOUS cold. He begins with acknowledgement of the weather and the hypocrisy of climate change denial before moving to Trump administration hypocrisy about Anti-ICE protests in Minneapolis, especially around the shooting of Alex Pretti. He then shares a post from an online gay men's group expressing the rest of the word's frustration with Trump, followed by his own posted response laying out the dangers of assuming the current geopolitical crisis is the result of one man. Picking up onpart of his response, in the back half of the show he leans into queer-friendly and queer-written S/F and a contemplation of how visions of the future or alternative realities are more often estranged visions of aspects of the now.  If you are interested in the GRIS book club mentioned in the podcast, you can find more about here: https://www.goldenrainbows.org/services-2 (The GRIS website identifies this as a 2025 activity, but it is still going on.

I'll never forgive collective Hollywood if they wait so long to adapt House on the Cerulean Sea that Harvey Guillén ages out of being able to play Linus.

Tranquility of
The cerulean sea, where
Storms fizzle, absorbed.
