Just submitted another story to Shrapnel: the Official BattleTech Magazine. This one's about anti-'Mech infantry--I suppose if someone waterboarded me long enough, I'd probably submit a Giant Robot story to the magazine that's primarily about Giant Robots... ;P

My kindergartener and I both look up every time something flies overhead. Good thing my wife loves me because she made a little clone of me!

NRA is just an absolute shit-tier organization. Pure fucking trash, and has been for so long.

Jesus Christ, the NRA is so fucking useless now. Just absolute trash (I guess that's what over a decade's worth of Russian influence ops will do to an organization...). Just a wholly shit-tier organization.

I'm old enough to remember when Republicans fought the Soviet Union tooth and nail. Now they want to help Putin rebuild it.

I also need to get better about reading for pleasure and (especially!) writing my fiction. It's 16 days into the new year, so let's see how I do.

I need to get better about posting stuff online, so let me just brag real quick: I finished the rough draft of a story I intend to submit to Shrapnel magazine. It only took me a year... π¬

It's like in the old Star Wars EU media where you've got defecting Imperial ships fighting side-by-side with Rebel X-Wings. A cool visual, but I just hope we win :(

Okay, but how could we have possibly known Hegseth's lack of experience would lead to a colossal national security disaster?

Thanks for doing this, Mr. Scalzi! I'm kind of late to the party, but I just launched a dieselpunk space opera featuring a plucky female lead who blows up a bunch of space fascists (if anyone's into that kind of thing lately...) www.amazon.com/dp/B0F16GPN8V And it's edited by @catrambo.bsky.social!

Even during my anti-government days as a young man who'd just been sent to fight in the desert for paper-thin reasons easily debunked by just paying attention to the news...I was still only against the part of the .gov that did illegal wars. Not Medicaid and the Park Service. I mean, WTF, over?!
