Scott Michael Powers

In the day of Japanese Bushidō honor code, they would literally fall on their swords.

Time is defined as a double helix of semiprecious stones at the center of the universe.

As a hockey mom, I’m not mad at the U.S. men’s hockey team, I’m mad at the culture that allows misogyny to fester I watched for years as my daughter and her teammates were treated like a novelty. And then it happened on the world stage.

My friend and former colleague @janelleirwinfl.bsky.social on why the dissing that Trump gave the women’s hockey team is the usual bullshit, and it’s got to stop.

I didn’t have “I would have given myself a Congressional Medal of Honor if I could have” on my Bingo card.

Cover revealed for The Space Coast Tatler - Scott Michael Powers A little bit humorous, a little bit adventurous, a little bit bloody.

And now, the cover reveal for my next novel, The Space Coast Tatler, designed by the incredible Barbara Russell. (Set to be published in late May!)

Patriots' Battle Cry Listen and make your own on Suno.

Another protest song. This one a sort of hard-driving, bluesy, country-rocker.
Keep 'em coming!

Keep them coming, music world.

Agreed.
The opposition can only fight lies with truth.

Live at Leeds, Live Bullet, Made in Japan, Waiting for Columbus, At Fillmore East, Rockin’ the Fillmore.
In the 70s, the best bands played live with confident abandon, & their producers sought to capture events, not songs. By the 80s, everything got overthought, over-rehearsed, and overproduced.

Wasserman to sell agency, stay with LA28 Games amid Epstein ties Casey Wasserman, chairman of the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics organizing committee, is selling his talent agency in the wake of the release of emails tying him to the Jeffrey Epstein controversy.

LA28 does its own investigation and determines that Casey Wasserman’s Epstein relationship wasn’t so bad, even w/ millions of still-unreleased files. So he will remain in charge of the LA Olympics.
Elitetocracy at work, ladies and gents.

Bowling is too cool for the Olympics.

Coming soon: An announcement for my next Great American Novel.

These women finishing this cross country ski race are all dropping in agony. I’ve never seen anything like it. And these are the medalists.

What she does isn't unique in the administration. The same observation, excellently made here by @kaivanshroff.bsky.social, applies to any of them, Leavitt, Bondi, etc. What they say makes so much more sense when you assume they're not trying to persuade; they're trying to please. Please the boss.

I had a great idea for a story last night. I knew I did at the moment. But I didn't get out of bed and write it down. And so now, this morning, it is gone. I'm kicking myself.

Rose was a cad, granted.
As a ballplayer, Rose personified what coaches teach kids. He was small, slow, athletically average. He overachieved, thru determination. He came to play, every day. He practiced harder & played harder than anyone. He played any position his team needed. He always hustled.

9. Katy Perry... and Left Shark.

Soft yet brilliant.
The studio innovations developed to record this song were in the spirit of “Good Vibrations” or “A Day in the Life,” influencing pop music for a long time.
And it is such a great song.

I’m deeply disappointed in Tom Llamas’ 3rd-rate performance as a journalist in his hyped sit-down with Trump. Llamas is new; I had hoped he was tough and prepared. But no. Llamas looked like a novice. He let Trump lie repeatedly, rarely challenging, and without confidence. Trump toyed with him.

What to do in central Florida during the worst cold spell in a decade: go to Blue Springs to see hundreds of manatees huddling in the warm water.

Death of The President: a historical fiction short story - Scott Michael Powers A historical fiction short story of deception and conspiracy.

I'm excited to announce the completion of my latest short story:
"Death of The President."

When U.S. Army 2nd Lt. Jonathan Francis calls upon his Great-Uncle Boone Davis, in 1968, he does not imagine what the great old man will give him.

A burden of history.

Now available to a good journal.

Finally, a protest song worthy to join Ohio, Give Ireland Back to the Irish, Fortunate Son, the Fish Chant, Bells of Rhymney, For What It's Worth, and The Times They Are A-Changin'.
Keep it coming, music world.

YouTube video by Bruce Springsteen Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Breaking down team payroll disparity in MLB There are a number of positive trends for Major League Baseball as we approach a new season. MLB's attendance improved for a fourth consecutive full season in 2025. That trend coincides with rules cha...

Let me sum up this very disturbing report on the payroll disparity in MLB by describing one graphic: the Dodgers spent more money on player payroll+salary cap tax last season than the Guardians, White Sox, Pirates, Rays, As, and Marlines (6 teams!) COMBINED.

German filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl was considered a brilliant movie director before she made propaganda films for Hitler. When Hitler died, her career died.

“Melania” is directed by Bret Ratner, who’s previous credits include “Rush Hour” and an X-Men.

What, I wonder, will come of Ratner career?

I am pleased to annouce I have completed my latest short story, "Death of the President."
It's not about what you might think
OK, just the first draft is done. But if you know, you know that's exciting.

U.S. Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social. My Congressman, in Florida’s 10th Congressional District, Orlando. A good man, a dedicated public servant, a victim of Trump’s America.

I am sure ICE is not keeping track. Homeland Security is not keeping track. The Justice Department is not keeping track. Trump is not keeping track.

But rest assured, someone is keeping track, and one day a full accountability will be possible.
