I'm not going to post the driveling AI text here, but know a) I did not endorse this scam, b) I never wrote a historical fiction novel and the text claims, c) I would not be excited about getting a dozen "reviews" on Amazon, not the least because my most recent work (the one pictured here, 3 Days, 9 Months, 27 Years) has over 3300 actual rankings/reviews on Amazon and over 4,000 on Goodreads. Seriously, now.

Reminder to all that scam sites will fake author testimonials with fact-free "AI" drivel. Also, I will never ever ever give a testimonial to any "global reader community" so if you see one from me, you will know it's utterly full of shit. Fuck these scammers for preying on people's hopes.

Since, in a moment of weakness, I volunteered to be on the committee, a bit of marketing. capricon.org

11.1% of SNAP recipients are kids under age 5, 27.7% kids 5-17, 41.6% adults 18-59, 19.5% adults aged 60 & older https://www.ers.usda.gov/media/1124/snapparticipantage.xlsx

Did you know?

About 4.5 million SNAP recipients are babies and toddlers under age 5.

About 11.1 million SNAP recipients are kids aged 5 to 17 years, who need food for healthy growth, learning, & development.

The federal government has the capacity to continue funding SNAP during a shutdown.

Cover art for Slayers of Old, depicting an older man with a cane and a black cat with tentacles and too many eyes. Additional context: the cat is named Squidward, and he is Awesome.

It's Publication Day for SLAYERS OF OLD!!!

From @dawbooks.bsky.social's official description: "Buffy the Vampire Slayer meets Golden Girls in this humorous contemporary standalone fantasy about a group of former Chosen Ones coming out of retirement to save the world one last time."

Vance is wearing a crown now. I guess that’s Trump code for a thousand year Reich.

As a veteran with multiple combat tours, this “No Kings” poster touched my heart more than any of the other hundreds of great signs I saw this weekend

Love this lady so much for honoring her veteran and the cause he died for

the Louvre heist very clearly based on the age old maxim that if you walk around holding a clipboard and a serious expression on your face absolutely nobody will question anything you’re doing

So I was not able to attend a No Kings rally yesterday - I was helping my Rotary club with a recycling event. (Alas, I suspect we'll be needing a few more No Kings event - I'll catch the next one.) PS - I'm the fat guy with the hat...

y’all keep making fun of trump’s shitting video but it takes a strong man to admit that he’s reached the stage of life where he has no control of his bowels

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al.
A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator"
3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

like: is it a good sign that sperm counts are low? probably it is not!

is eating grass-fed beef three times a day and making sure you rawdog the polio virus the solution? probably also not!

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys.

"I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man."

It's a must-read:

I get it that the establishment is attacking him. Having said that, these attacks need to come out now and not 2 months before some Republican operative does the same thing. Maine voters need to see how he handles the pressure.

This is fucking awful but has the byproduct of making ICE look like dumb babies.

I love this so much. Funny, sweet, hopeful, and kind of bad-ass.

Well, it can be reported - I have signed a contract for another novel. Gunmaker, a science fiction novel, to be released in July / August 2026, from Space Wizards Science Fantasy.

A much needed laugh today!

I see we've reached the "hiding your neighbors from the goon squads" stage of fascism. Awesome.

I want to have a long and harsh talk with the gun nuts who used to be my friends, the ones who were nattering on about the "Jews in the attic" test for tyranny. This is it, people. This is your scenario.

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

You assume there’s something beyond the temper tantrum of a 5-year-old who desperately needs a nap.

#BREAKING Federal judge in Chicago temporarily blocks the Trump administration from "ordering the federalization and deployment of the National Guard of the United States within Illinois."
