Tonight in The December Comfort Watches: Starship Troopers. Did you know that, in a wild coincidence, there is also a novel of the same name? I talk about both in the piece! Would you like to know more?

The December Comfort Watches 2025, Day Eighteen: Starship Troopers
If you should ever want to wind up an old-school Robert Heinlein fan — which, by the way, you shouldn’t do, they’re all clocking seventy-plus years now, and you should respect you…

Okay, I've just heard Columbo say for the very first time (I think), "Oh just one more thing..."

"Forest Attendant" Black-Capped Chickadee 5"x7" Oil on panel
Chickadees are wonderful in so many ways. They're often the first birds to investigate a new situation, and other birds watch & follow them to find food sources. The friendly local 'dees often bring other birds to my yard, to my delight.

All of this. Be extremely wary of those words. They’re part of the reason I withdrew a story from a dream market this year.
If you see the words 'irrevocable', 'in perpetuity', 'formats not yet invented', 'net after costs', 'all rights', you're selling every damn thing you could make money from as an author for a one time payment, or in this case, a promise.
Signing this gives the publisher money meant for you forever.

Behold, if you will, the...astonishing...contract from Shadow Light Press. A rolling 10-year term...payment on profit (but only after costs are recouped)...appropriation of the author's universe if they can't continue the series...and more www.reddit.com/r/Progressio...

If you ever wonder where my feelings lie, my culture traditionally has more than two genders as well as had queer and poly marriages.
I'm tired of this bloated parasite of a country sucking out the life of everyone I care about and telling us it's for our own good. A bloodborn illness on us all.

The irony of a US president making claims about stolen land and resources....
The entirety of the United States resides on land stolen from the people who had lived on it from time immemorial. When gold was discovered at Dahlonega (the name of which comes from the Cherokee phrase "dahlonige adelv,"

1. A blockade is an act of war
2. The idea that Venezuela has stolen land from the United States is so laughably stupid on its face that even some of his base is like 🤨
3. It’s always about oil.

Saw this adorable French animation ad and I had to share it over here! The style looks familiar but I can’t my finger on what group it is. Any ideas?

Faucets dripping, thermostat set to 50, vets closed except in the bedroom. Hopefully nothing freezes up and the propane holds out a couple of nights (turning the furnace off as soon as it's above freezing or when I wake up), and I get a paycheck before the next cold snap so I can get some more.

Y'all. The OLD FARMERS ALMANAC is 233 years old and still going. This is about another publication that was younger. While ideal to have more options, they aren't the same. The one you're probably thinking about is still here.
