You would kind of think that the response to lawmakers urging the military to not follow ILLEGAL orders would not be to state that those lawmakers be arrested and executed.
But here we are.

I've been getting so many cool projects to work on lately, thank you all very much!
Samurai swords, cowboy guns, and prophecy-fueled chaos. Cloud of Sparrows throws 19th-century Japan into a blender with the Wild West. It’s bloody, brainy, and a little messy. But damn, it’s got style. Matsuoka’s debut swings for the fences.

Just an idea for you to tweet (or whatever you use these days) An alternative strategy for limiting flights from major airports would be closing small (private jet) airports and sending those air traffic controllers to the main hubs. But that would impact private jets and that would be terrible.

I've had two new stories published recently. One is at Swords and Sorcery Magazine entitled An Ancient and Terrible Appetite where two veteran monster hunters take on a contract to find a missing noble. If you've read my collection "God in Black Iron,"…
I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Cover of Something Old, Something New featuring the Pre-Raphaelite painting "Clytemnestra after the Murder" by John Collier. The titular Clytemnestra, a woman wearing fine clothing and jewellery, holds a curtain with only sinister shadow behind. She leans on an axe almost as tall as she is. If you look closer, you can see a look of confusion and madness in her eyes. Text on the cover reads: Vol. 1, No. 3, November 2025. Poetry by A. E. Housman. Artwork by John Collier. New: Sadomasochism & sorcery by Matthew X. Gomez. Reviewed: The best gory offerings of indie mag Inner Worlds.

Look at this absolute garbage.
I’ve cowritten three books with @vallescurarule.bsky.social that between them contain info, advice, and prompts to write 30 different horror subgenres and tropes. It’s NOT IMPOSSIBLE!! If you want to use AI, you’re NOT A WRITER! Go find another hobby!!
#HorrorWriterschat
My collection of various horror comes out on Halloween. I'd love if people took a gander(pre-order). Not all horror is as it seems. Monsters, both human and nonhuman run amok in it's pages. Aliens, werewolves, goblins, bunghole humans? I got you.
