    Fusenews: And the tree was moderately amused

    Betsy Bird, August 12, 2015 | Fusenews

    Here’s your SAT question for the day: “Making fun of The Giving Tree in a parody is to shooting fish in a barrel as . . .”  You may put your response in the comments below.  I’ve lived long enough to feel that I’ve seen every possible Giving Tree parody man or woman could imagine.  […]

    Fusenews: Sweet Uncanny Valley High

    Fusenews: “. . . his hunger was a writhing and a hissing thing”

    Betsy Bird, February 17, 2014 | Fusenews

    Happy President’s Day! We’ve a lot of worthy links today but I’m going to begin with one that was sent to me by Dan Berenberg and that I’ve been enjoying ever since.  Beginning with a caveat, Dan wrote to me and said, “You’ve probably been sent this by a ton of people already, but this […]
