I love Salman Rushdie, not only for his books, but for his cultural takes. Slaughterhouse-Five is an underappreciated masterwork.

After you finish this article, may I commend to you his article about The Wizard of Oz, which will shake your American worldview.

About 10 years ago, I got out of publishing consulting because the only people who contacted me were this sort.

They were SMART and just knew they could be on Oprah or whatever and sell 1 million books. They don't read at all - why should they? This is all about them. Narcissists.

Never judge a book by its cover!

Because you needed a video of a group of cute guinea pigs eating watermelon... You're welcome #bluesky 😊

Hummingbird and red flower

For my fellow North American #hummingbird fans:

The hummies are starting to tank up for their annual southern migration* starting next month. Make sure you are changing your feed at least twice a week!

*Here in #Reno, we are seeing some hummies overwinter

It's a toss-up between Ironman and Black Panther

They are entirely serious about taking away ALL women's rights. Pay attention.

I've been saying this for almost 3 decades now. Roe is gone. Women in the military are being ousted.

They are coming for us.

RISE UP

I am enjoying this show, but the Apple program is to the Foundation novels the same way the movie I Robot is to the books (and same author). [For those who have never read either, the movies had little to do with the books.]

I wish they would just call it something else.

Loved The Ministry of Time and The Familiar!

Farewell, brave soul

If anyone at UCLA has balls, they should file a $1 trillion counter-suit.

He's been on vacay for weeks.

Funny how, if Kamala had done this, the shrieking from MAGAville would be unending.

But he's white, male, and fake Christian, so it's cool

Boycott CBS and Paramount+

You do not bling-up the Oval Office, wreck/replace the Rose Garden, install 2 80' tall flag poles, and plan a $200 million addition if you are planning to leave in 3 years.

These are the signs of a coup

Priestess of Camelot - Chapter 57 This is Chapter 57 of Priestess of Camelot. I hope you enjoy it. I will be releasing a chapter every Monday and Friday.

I'm posting chapter-by-chapter of PRIESTESS OF CAMELOT, my #KingArthur fantasy, on Substack.

Chapter 57: #KingArthur's time draws short as #Mordred roils #Camelot. Anya makes plans for him to save key artifacts for his soon-to-be-born.

American exceptionalism at its finest

Oh, so the pot industry is now able to bank? Cool.

No, of course that's not what this is about.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

I expect a major class action lawsuit.

The thing about these times, tax payers are going to pay by living thru it, and in reparations.

The bill is gonna be HUGE

WHAT

WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

From your mouth to whomever is running this shitshow's Ear.

Contemplating Constitutional Reform A modest proposal

Once this National nightmare is over, how to we make sure it NEVER happens again? Some thoughts about a Constitutional Convention, Supreme Court changes, and imagining a 4th branch of government: the Government Integrity Authority

OMG, look at the light refracted in this white outfit!

We are now at war - very like the Civil War.

Dems, redistrict now.

The Winding Road Home is a landscape that appears to be made of quilted fabric. The image features a cobblestone road that winds among rolling hills toward a cozy looking home nestled against trees dressed in autumn colors. In the foreground a small lake makes up the left side of the image. Nostalgic, whimsical landscape.

The winding road home, cozy autumn landscape.
