I used to buy copies of Finnegans Wake at used bookstores that had notes and underlining. None of them went past pace 30.

Here are my most recent books. One is a novelization of a science fiction film, and the other is a mystery written in the style of a 1950s mystery Think Erle Stanley Garner or Frederic Brown). You can buy them on Amazon, but they also have copies at CafΓ© Suspiro in San Francisco (1246 Folsom St).

Thanks. That’s nice to hear.

One of these days, I’m going to get me one of these boxes.

Could β€œDirector of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard” be considered an oxymoron? 😜

I understand @stephenking.bsky.social said that in 20 to 30 years, many people will deny they voted for Trump. It won’t take that long. When I was hitchhiking across the country in 1975-76, I asked people everywhere if they voted for Nixon. Not a single person admitted they did.

The kerning on that makes it look like No Va. I guess he doesn’t go.

Yeah. This one’s making the rounds. I think they’re coming from a spam call center in India.

S.F.’s controversial fountain deemed β€˜hazardous’ and will be fenced off indefinitely The move cast new doubt on the future of the massive structure as a major renovation of Embarcadero Plaza gets underway.

I, for one, will be glad to see this thing go. Some attempts at public art and architecture look awful at first, but eventually grow on people. It worked fine when the freeway was still there because it matched the ugliness of that structure, but now it's just an eyesore.

Targeting journalists + protestors filming for social media is not an accident. Fascists are doing all they can to intimidate and suppress any and all critical or oppositional media.

Before I get too excited about the Musk/Trump breakup, I remember that the WWE is an important part of Trump’s success. He’s just using that format. I wouldn’t be surprised if a cage match comes next.

You got it. I had to teach my English teacher that when in was in high school.

Note to anyone planning to do an audiobook narration of Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: First, learn how β€œvictuals” pronounced.

I was clicking though the movie list on Amazon, when I came across this. Colorized? The film was shot in Technicolor! What the hell does that mean?

Looks like this service has been shut down. It did seem too good to be true.

Well, MACON COUNTY LINE would fit here. I could argue for LAST HOUSE ON THE LEFT as well, although (spoiler alert) they end up near the house of one of the women when the horror starts.

Following up my 20 comic books, here's one that doesn't fall neatly into any category. One of my very favorite books by one of my very favorite cartoonists.

I read this one as soon as it came out. I was already a big Delaney fan by then. It was pretty controversial. I was living in New York at the time and the guy at the Science Fiction Book shop couldn't believe that I actually finished it. πŸ˜†
