URGENT! Baron Quits the Payloaders!
My new short story is out at @escapepod.org! πΈπ¨βπβ‘
It's my tribute to heavy music and how inspiring it is for me. It's a found family piece about overcoming grief, finding new meanings in life, and dealing with predatory companies.

The saga of the beautiful husky who needed a home, & the BlueSky folk who stepped forward to make an old-fashioned internet miracle...has had a lot of developments I've been too busy handling to update you all on.

This was not how sheβd expected her life to be. But then, few people expect to be abducted by aliens. Fewer still expect that to happen while their planet is destroyed. So a new future awaits β one that sheβs really not ready for.

2/ This week you will read many confused economists and political pundits who wonβt understand how the tariffs make economic sense.
Thatβs because they donβt. They arenβt designed as economic policy. The tariffs are simply a new, super dangerous political tool.
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.
No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

I"m so looking forward to this in my hometown. Matt is hilarious, and books are being sold by Third Place Books (love those people)
