The firefly scene from @natcassidy.bsky.social 's "When the Wolf Comes Home" still haunts me. It's been a while since a scene from a book has stayed with me this long.

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

"Her businesses, known for donating meals to homeless shelters, supporting local police, providing funding for high school baseball teams...

β€œShe gives back to the community, creates jobs for young people, pays taxes. Why would you want to remove someone like that?”

The truth may be puzzling. It may take some work to grapple with. It may be counterintuitive. It may contradict deeply held prejudices. It may not be consonant with what we desperately want to be true. But our preferences do not determine what's true.

Hey gang, my Clarke Award shortlisted novel SEA OF RUST is on sale for just $1.99 this week. Got two bones? Get the book Esquire Magazine called one of the best 75 science fiction novels ever written. Quite literally one of my favorite things I've ever put to paper for less than the price of a soda!

I must not FOMO
FOMO is the mind killer
FOMO is the little death that brings total obliteration
I will face my FOMO
I will permit it to pass over me and through me and when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye to see its path
Where the FOMO has gone there will be nothing
Only I will remain

So... I'm from Boston, not sure how good I can still ride a horse but I used to be pretty decent, and I'm still a good shot when I need to be, dunno how much cowboy-cred that gives ME ...but it's got to be MORE than anyone that complains about their *APPLE MUSIC CHART* position out loud, yea?

"People die" has been a running theme in this administration. It's who they are. Now, get back on your cog and bleed on the machine. Your masters need more cognac.
