Hello social medias...

You may not be aware a major Cat 5 hurricane struck an area that normally doesn't get them. The eye passed directly over Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The devastation is tremendous. The need is great.

You can help and make a difference:

I suppose that in the future when someone asks on social media for underrated/obscure fantasy novels, no brightchild will ever respond "Ooh ooh anything by Neil Gaiman!" again.

Google’s emissions are up 48% in 5 years. Microsoft’s are up 30% since 2020. Those soaring figures are being driven by mass investments in data centers to power AI tools. Generative AI is a climate disaster and data center expansion must be stopped.

And if a reporter asks after Harris, they should just say, "Oh God, no," and then hike a thumb at Biden to express the idea that Harris was Biden's choice in the first place.

Instead of pretending that Biden just had a cold or was jet lagged the Dem spin-doctors should say, "Yep. We have to flick pennies at his forehead to get his attention. Still a better option that the other guy. You want small government, swing voters? He's a 4hr a day President."

This Originalist™ court has effectively immunized both the president and all federal law enforcement officers from any meaningful accountability. Because if there are two things the Founders cherished, it's the power of a king-like executive and armed agents of the government to act with impunity.

Over twenty years ago! Some people encountered and repopularized the quote the other day and are upset about it. They're also in the "LOLITA is a bad* book" crowd, so play it as it lays.

Rowling refers to LOLITA as a "love story" for the same reason every college boy did for many years. Vintage put the phrase on the cover, and people are very suggestible.

Threads is THEE place for writers who think editors, book designers, printers, warehouse personnel, and booksellers should work for free (and outside, perhaps under a tree) because the writer is the one who does all the work. Bluesky would never! Right? Right?
