After writing aerospace technical manuals for too many years, I've jumped into my first love: writing speculative fiction. My themes are identity, inclusion, found family, and honor. No DMs. Sexbots ignored. Billionaires don't need a tax break.

Apples and oranges. Put cohorts of military into Mobile Alabama and have them start the same gas 'em and beat 'em shit.

I can only fight the devil I know, and Mike Johnson is that devil. But anyone beating their people down using the Bible as a hammer is unfit to lead-anywhere in the world.

The BS from the right is bizarre in its coverage and support of this admin, this GOP-driven Congress and SCOTUS, and it's a poison that needs to be called out.

What I dislike even more? Misinformation from the left.

This ain't Fox Social. Keep it real. Truth gets the job done.

If I were a player, I'd be relieved that I wouldn't have to go through the press circus of stating exactly why I wasn't going to visit Trumps version of the Palace of Versailles just so he could get a photo op with real men.

Can the Internet disappear? Not entirely, but essential services could be disrupted strongly enough to crash the economy, kill communications, wipe out banking interactions online... in short-we rely way too much on something we don't really control.

Could the internet go offline? Inside the fragile system holding the modern world together

Behind every meme and message is creaking, decades-old infrastructure. Internet experts can think of scenarios that could bring it all crashing down …

Donald Trump has never been a president for the United States. He has only been president for those states that have thrown in with Trump to subvert the very foundations of our liberty by nationalizing an internal military force that has no allegiance other than to Trump and white nationalism.

The Republifascatzi Party celebrates lying, grift, ignorance, and cruelty as part of their core requirements for leadership.

My mom would have had to run out to Costco to buy enough soap with which to wash out her filthy, lying mouth.

I have to ask:

Is "School Bully Bullshit 101" the ONLY course required to become a federal officer or agent?

It's a game with Trump that he plays in endless variations. First, he screws you out of what you've earned. When you get really angry about it, he gives back a little bit and, if you're MAGA to begin with, he expects you to be eternally grateful for not stealing the whole goddamn farm.

How cute! A toddler with granddaddy's gun.

Charlie Cousins @charliecousins.bsky.social · 3d

That's all you have to do. Make a big show of what a great leader Trump is, and you can parlay for anything you want. Most of us don't like brown-nosers because they contribute nothing of value. Trump rewards brown-nosing and posts videos of himself crapping all over Americans. Thanks, MAGA.

This is what happens when children are given guns and there's no adult supervision.

Putin knows the US has the nuclear capability to wipe out civilization on a global level. It's a child's game. We have a toddler in the White House and he's playing with a loaded gun. We should be showing how we can COUNTER Russia's nuclear threats, not match them, and rebuild our alliances.

What happened was a crass exploitation and development of working class ignorance. Get a large enough section of the population to sign on to getting information only from groomed resources and this is what you get.

If you think Trump is bad--just wait until he's gone, if we have a GOP Congress.

Christian AI.

AI lies. It's builders and handlers can call them "hallucinations" (as though imbibing some kind of digital magic mushroom), but they are lies. Taking lies for truth is a MAGA thing that does not need reinforcement from the tech sector.

Her constituent base political demographics are changing due to economic pain caused by Trump & co. And she's a self-serving chameleon with no foundational beliefs.

This stuff gives me nightmares.

How do I get them to stack me, comfortably, in a room somewhere with soft music in the background as my body parts catch up with reality--before letting Neptune Society come burn my body?

What's with all the hair gel, pal? Is that the new Nazi thing for old people?

When the majority in Congress represent maybe 40% of the People in terms of opinion that shapes legislation, we have a major problem.

It's time for a constitutional overhaul.

My doctor gave me a cognitive test: Draw a clock face showing a time of 10:45, and had to remember three words from the beginning of the test at the end.

I passed. I aced it. I'm obviously a stable genius.

I'm beginning to believe the best case scenario for the expanding use of AI and robots is that it will free humanity from the need to procreate so profusely and take the world population down to a level our planet can live with.

Obama for President (or VP) isn't only Constitutional, but a very good idea.

Do it, Michelle!

I want to see a Buttigieg/Obama ticket. They're accomplished, erudite, experienced, and decent people who won't be afraid to step into the ring in red states.
