It’s the only onnnnnne

Some folks are just blissfully unaware. Like a Catholic Nun working at condom factory erroneously believing she makes sleeping bags for mice.

Van Riper WARNED us. Loudly.

(Also I really want to try a Korean style Po’ Boy)

No words, sending love. One of the best men Maryland ever produced. A boxer, an actor and above all a world class family man. Rest Easy Bobby Brown. Will always cherish those rides back home with you…..damn, man.🙏

Just a heads up to all active duty, national guard and the like. If you think for an instant they would not turn an AI drone loose on you, for failing to kill people like me, you’re fucking wrong. They are a method to control YOU as well. They truly don’t give a fuck about YOU. Uphold your oaths.

Music is a very enjoyable way to learn history.

Hype can be dangerous

Nebula nominations close tomorrow. Still plenty of time for SFWA members to read "Through the Machine." Thank you for your consideration.

a shirt design featuring a skateboarding boy who may look somewhat similar to a famous skateboarding boy from a cartoon but it's impossible to know for sure because there's a black bar over his eyes, holding his own severed head and saying "anything subversive or countercultural can and will be commodified and re-absorbed by existing social order, defanged and neutralized, reduced to an aesthetic pose.

There’s this Iraqi family I met when I was deployed and I just got an email that their only child - they had a fucked time during the war but made it to America - is starting college in the fall. He’s a massive Star Wars fan. 🥲
