Trump says he didn't know who Changpeng Zhao was when he pardoned him.

Most transparent administration.

Hey, remember when Musk said he'd donate $6B to solve world hunger if the WFP would give him a plan for how it could be done?

Did you know he actually donated $5.7B… to himself. The Musk Foundation, in 2021, held almost $10B in assets. It gave a total of $160M to charities.

,,, another NO CONTEXT INSPIRATION set of pictures, but this time from something not yet released. For those who already know, of course you know, lol. And for those who don't, you'll know soon enough. Heh. Heh ha. Hee hee. Ha ha, ho. Heh.

(One of these is tangential, and made itself clear after.)

Is it irony? I just ran across an ad saying "We Hire Freelancers" with a list of the things they hire for, but the ad... well, it's AI slop. Like... is this just mixed messaging? Or is it blind irony?

I don't know the right word for this.

The expert on the news just said "new-Q-ler tests." Sigh.

I have *just now* realized that "you won't be able to see your daily streams" also means I don't get to see ANYTHING at ALL.

How are we supposed to know anything? It seems fucky. Imagine if KDP was like, "yo, you can publish this book, but good luck knowing how many you sold."

THANK YOU everybody who shared any of the TRIBULATION OF DAX posts, and to the rest who left a reaction to bump it in the malgorithm. We gave away tens of copies and I can only hope some of those turn into reviews.

Jesus Christ, this rework MORE BALLS TO PICASSO sounds fucking amazing. I was expecting the whatever remix, but this is so much more. Holy shit. Bruce Dickinsons is a madman.

Upgrade your listening device, whatever it is, and check out "Cyclops," the first track. What the entire absolute FUCK.

Maybe I'm just feeling edgy today, but the thought has occurred to me that every farmer losing their land due to current economic bullshit ought to give their fields one good salting before they leave.

So, my right wing friends, if you are a member of the Second Amendment Foundation or the Firearms Policy Coalition, you are now on a federal list.

Is this what you voted for? How is the leopard's breath?

It's the last free ebook day for WORLD OF TROUBLE: TRIBULATION OF DAX, and I wanted to share three things while I'm getting it in front of your eyeballs.

The first is art for Part 3, Burning Moonlight.

Remember when people on a certain part of the political spectrum would say things like "if anybody in office is getting richer because of it, they're corrupt and we don't like that?"

They're pretty fucking quiet about that right now, aren't they?

It's time to steal from the best again! This week's No-Context inspiration is brought to you by LAND OF THE DEAD, THE RUNNING MAN, and the whole series of Parker books.

If somebody could afford to pay *seven million* protesters with no evidence trail leading back to them, why couldn't they afford to pay eight million voters and have every election in their pocket?

Week three of SPOOKTOBER GIVEAWAYS starts with a page from a NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD comic I was using as cover prototype/inspiration while assembling the bits and bobs of story to resemble a novel.

Please share if you can, your good buddy Dax would appreciate it.
