I was 53 when we moved up here 8 years & 7 books ago. We did it with one goal: Devote ourselves to #fiction & #art. I refuse to waste my remaining time #writing the same tired #scifi #fantasy stories/tropes that sold last Quarter. I'd rather die a failure than rationalize another useless compromise.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

The phrase “money can’t buy happiness” is total bullshit.

Every working and middle class American knows it.

Money solves problems and makes things much easier.

You have to be crazy rich to starting getting diminishing returns.

"Whatever equity the US has built up over the last century as a reputable trade partner has been largely wiped out by a businessman-president best known for his bankruptcies."

MAGAs went around putting Biden stickers on gas pumps. Now Waffle House is putting a Trump surcharge on their All American Breakfast specials.

Just read a Guardian story with the hede "From nepotism to staggeringly bad contracts: the NFL’s most hopeless franchises," just so I could enjoy the fact that the Bears wouldn't be among the list for once.

“How do you think the president was prepared to issue all these executive orders? How do you think they were prepared to make all of these appointments in such quick succession after he got into office? Project 2025.”

During a game of “finish the sentence” with a journalist on Tuesday, the premier of Western Australia was asked: “JD Vance is a …”

“Knob,” he replied emphatically, prompting laughter and applause from a crowd of mostly business leaders in the state’s capital, Perth.

Rep. Tom Suozzi gets huge applause and a standing ovation after calling out Trump’s ambush of President Zelenskyy at the White House.

Suozzi is a Democrat who won a special election in a red district—more of this, please!

Every single Dem should be holding town halls across the country RIGHT NOW.
