The reincarnation of Ireland’s patron saint and your favorite screw-up’s reason to drink in March has quit the Vatican again, tired of serving as one of their exclusive exorcists amid the constant corruption.

Starting to put together the next collection of shorts that will be part of a reader magnet, and its both bewildering and confirming to see where I've gotten better but also where I was actually pretty good all along. Someone bought these stories for a reason, and I can't wait to put them back out!

I was gifted some Bluetooth lapel mics for Christmas and I got around to testing them today.
And I honestly hope the issue is just the battery. It will not kill me or set me back to return these mics, but again--please just be the battery...

To be very clear, that lady in the NYT article is not making any money with her hundreds of AI slop books.
She makes money by *convincing people* she makes money that way and getting them to pay her to teach them how to do it.
It's an evolved MLM, and the NYT is helping market it.

Excited about my new vocal mic arriving today. I was able to scrounge and save bits for a more dynamic one from Fifine, a brand I’ve been using for years. A bit more advancement in sound and just in time for the next audiobook project!

I honestly don't know how anyone can hate Starfleet Academy. It is a love-letter to every franchise before it while still pushing forward, and it does so lovingly and with deep respect to canon and lore.
I nearly cried with *they* showed up.

There have been many journalists arrested in the US before. I'm one of them.
This is still very different. Lemon wasn't arrested as part of a mass of arrests of people surrounding a protest as it was happening and released (as I was). Lemon is being re-arrested for having covered a protest.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Tonight I finished the chapter where my hero, Jishnu the Srijati, rides to save his wife and his friends on the back of golden dragon that talks. They fall from the sky so hard it looks like a shooting star.
And 9-year-old Jay finished the chapter he always wanted to read.
