  • Looking Back0

    H.G. Wells’s 1895 science fiction novel Time Machine has been much scrutinized and talked about over the years.

  • Draw, O Coward! Another Pile of Palindromes0

    If something reads the same backwards as it does left to right, that is called a palindrome. As we saw last week in “Weird Words,” palindromes can be numerical — like all the dates from 5/20/25 through 5/29/25.
