Back in 2021, I published a book about how to make it through scary times by making up stories, Never Say You Can't Survive.

It sucks, but this book only seems to get more relevant lately.

So I'm very glad that today only, it's just $2.99 in all e-book formats.

So 60 Minutes editing a segment is election interference but Trump threatening to deport a candidate isn’t?

The same people demanding you present a photo ID to vote are perfectly fine with letting you be arrested, handcuffed & thrown into a van by armed men wearing plain clothes, face masks & presenting no identification of any sort.

You know you can just not use AI, right?

You can make a choice not to be part of this.

Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it.

You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.

In 1990 I wrote MuppetVision 3D, the 3D movie that played at the Disney theme parks. It was the last thing directed by Jim Henson and the last time he played Kermit the Frog. Tomorrow it closes.

Enjoy this tribute to the film from Broadway star Andrew Barth Feldman:

I just left a comment.

If you are concerned that RFK Jr.'s FDA chief Marty Makary is limiting the Novavax COVID booster to those over 65 or with underlying conditions, and may do the same for Pfizer/Moderna as well, consider leaving a comment as well.
You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

I want it. I will always want it. Vaccines work.
Doctor here. I want my COVID booster.
FDA Commissioner Makary: "By the way, America doesn't want covid boosters."
