Metafictive anti-realist, apparently. 1/3 of LUDONARRATIVE DISSIDENTS. You can get a ton of free fiction I got paid to write from www.gregstolze.com. I strive for a language that rich people who don’t dream can’t comprehend.

IWW IU 520 (Railroad Workers) PRESENTS:

TROLLEY PROBLEM SOLUTION

"Slip the switch" by flipping it while the trolley's front wheels have passed through, but before the back wheels do. This will cause a controlled derailment bringing the trolley to a safe halt.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

A year ago we were supposed to be getting $2,000 rebate checks, DOGE was going to find $2 trillion in waste to balance the budget, we were going to pay no income taxes because tariffs would pay for everything, gas and home electric bills would be cut in half, and no new wars.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI ‘Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academics—without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

A specimen of the “clay-colored billbug” from our collection, a dryophthorine weevil whose ventral sclerites are all a smooth almond-white color and cleanly delineated by a rich chocolate border. I want dress shoes that look like this.

Say what you like about weevils, the aesthetics of Sphenophorus aequalis are simply beyond compare

Off the dome, @asilentplace.bsky.social has her find a computer drive with paperclip software—all it does is associate files, an exquisitely useless thing—and I found that so damn funny I can’t fully express it.

OK, editing the Actual Play podcast for TERMINATION SHOCK and got to the part where our party physician, searching a defeated scumbag politician’s office for more weapons, finds nothing and, in petty spite, steals his paperclips.

What would management be like if a top authority said, "OK, if you workers hit this quarterly goal, you get to choose whether your direct report stays or gets fired"?

How come we have gritty remakes but not romantic remakes? Like a Vader/Tarkin grumpy/sunshine movie.

That's not true. But Chotiner was on the plane with DB Cooper, and a cabin steward claimed he heard Chotiner say, "So, where ya from?"

"You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.” (Woke DEI Champion Ronald Reagan)

Iran is going to have a hard time killing more Americans than our home grown school shooters.

If they understand Citizens United, watch for attacks on data centers.

for every kid that decides not to have sex there's one that does, and another that's been coerced or abused, and another that's curious but doesn't know how, and another that does it too early and without protection, and another that feels awful because they haven't yet

Just today, I posted up the sequel, THE MUNICIPAL MYSTERY.

It’s the setting’s answer to “with no cops, who solves crimes?”

OK, did you read my story AFTER THE COPS?
gregstolze.com/downloads/after…
It’s SF, I guess, though it doesn’t demand any innovation other than “radical police reform.”
You can get it at that link as Pay What You Want (which could be free).
