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.

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.

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.
