The current regime is unraveling. All the imbeciles, grade school bullies, real estate developers, and slash-and-burn barbarians should learn women, minorities, immigrants, and the educated are indeed better equipped to run things. Right-wing idiots must retire from the field.

Volodimir Zelensky is the hero for our time. He showed the orange buffoon what a real leader is. And Trump's minerals deal now belongs to the British and the French. Consumer confidence is in decline. Trump is America's Ozymandias, sitting alone and despised in an empty desert.

Today's Super Bowl could be the last, given how everything is turning to shit. Circuses don't distract people when they don't have bread. There's a good reason why the NFL has vigorously kept DJT from having a franchise. He's a weak man who adores violence committed by others. He is our Commodus.

Since there are character limits, this continues my previous post. I am increasingly pessimistic. One day, the only beings on social media will be AI chatbots puzzling over where all the humans have gone and the days until all energy generation finally gives out and they vanish into the void.

I fear that we have passed the tipping point for human extinction and the current admin. has only sped it up. Ignorance is destructive. Space is not a sanctuary. Famine may soon appear.

Life is too short to read boring, dull, lifeless books. Frankly, nearly fan in fandom (especially tv/media fandom) needs therapy of some sort. Just traded in two books Gaiman recommended. One, Hope Mirlees' tediously boring "Lud in the Mist" is simply infected with bad 19th century English prose.

IN response to a reent post about elements of fandom needing therapy, esp. MZ BRadley & Neil Gaiman fans, let me say I never cared for Bradley's writing, and actually find Gaiman a bit tedious and, gasp, _dull_. I just disposed of the last Gaiman book I owned.

ICE is now Trump's Gestapo.

The world is laughing. That is NOT _great_, Donald. Then again, neither are you.

I see the interface has changed. They really don't want you to post or comment, do they?

My book "Stacey & the Monkey King" will likely go live on Amazon on Friday. I've also got the final version of "Edgar Rice Krsipies: Mangler of Adventure," and after I make a few tweaks on some minor errors, it should be out sometime next week. Here's the cover.

Businessmen fail in government because they think they are more important than the system. Gov't is not a business or a household. Spending cuts & and tax cuts for the rich fail. Businessmen with numerous bankruptcies are incapable of running government. We'll soon be back to 1929.

The problem with the TikTok ban is simple. Now conservatives can get media outlets banned just by claiming national security. Just like any other authoritarian regime. National security, BTW includes revealing the "dear leader" is little more than a grown man in a soiled diaper.

Reactor magazine has named the top ten SF novels of the quarter century. I confess I haven't read any of these and find several of the writers unreadable at best. Has the world become that boring and hopeless? Has the internet rendered ignorance as valid as education? reactormag.com/on-selecting...

My other is a satirical, humorous, non-fact biography I wrote years ago--"Edgar Rice Krispies: Mangler of Adventure"--and worked on for years. I've got enough published short stories for a book I might put together later this year. Just have to keep writing.

I have two books coming out on Amazon next week. My children's book "Stacey & the Monkey King," was written for my niece when she was six. She tragically died when she was 22, from a congenital blood-oxygen problem.

Just remember. You can never be too nice or too kind.

I've just joined Blue Sky. I'm a retired college professor & former award-winning print journalist. I'm also a full-time writer and the author of seven published books, and one just accepted by Nightmare Press. My children's book, "Stacey & the Monkey King," is about to go live on Amazon.
