Convicted felons should not be allowed to pardon convicted felons.

The first round of edits for my new sci-fi novel is done.

That's cause for celebration because this is my longest novel to date.

Just to be clear, if Mr. Poopy Pants' Big Beautiful Bailout Bill gets passed, our taxes will essentially be handouts to the rich.

Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" is nothing but a reverse Robin Hood, and those who voted these clowns into office will all feel the negative impact of the bill for years to come.

So the GOP has pretty much forced a brain-dead woman to be an incubator, and as soon as that baby is born, they'll turn their backs on it and refuse to ensure it has the care it needs. That, my friends, is hypocrisy in action.

If you're mocking Biden for being diagnosed with cancer, there's a special place in Hell for you where you dine on feces for every meal and are massaged by a steamroller that drag queens drive as they recite the preamble of the Constitution.

Budgie is one of the most beautiful of all the Linux desktops.

I have a feeling we're going to see a profound meltdown in the White House very soon. I think the negativity is starting to wear yamtits down, and he's going to throw the temper tantrum of temper tantrums.

Jack Wallen @jlwallen.bsky.social · May 18

This is hilarious (and probably true).

Jack Wallen @jlwallen.bsky.social · May 18

That warms my heart.

Tommy Tutone should have rewritten the song to be 8647309.

There are beautiful people without talent who are famous.
There are even more average-looking people with massive talent who are not famous.

It's sad that beauty is rewarded over actual talent.

Which is worse - the lies constantly being spewed by the Trump administration, or that so many people believe him?

Jack Wallen @jlwallen.bsky.social · May 16

Wow. Once again, Amazon is screwing authors by lowering our royalty rates 10%. The company claims operational costs as the reason

I'll have to rethink the whole thing and maybe start selling directly or find some other market.

Tonight I start memorizing my own words for the first episode of Me And My Muse. The goal is to be off-book before first rehearsal.

Do you know how strange it is to say that I have to memorize my own words?

Trump not only looked the gift horse in the mouth, he gave it the reach around, rode it raw dog, and then claimed it was his for the keeping.

The man is trash.

Jack Wallen @jlwallen.bsky.social · May 14

Back to back conference championship appearances. Hell yeah. Way to play #Pacers!

Think about this: What if Trump starts using this $400 million dollar plane as AF1 and it's fitted with all sorts of listening devices that we don't know about.

You don't give a 400 million dollar "gift" without expecting something in return.

When I was in elementary school, we had to recite the pledge of allegiance every day. I remember, so clearly, that it said, "with liberty and justice for ALL," not "with liberty and justice for SOME."

Yup. This pretty much nails it.

Right on the money.

My take on the new Sleep Token album.

It's not metal, but it's sumptuous. It's melodic and heartbreaking, a rich tapestry of sound that digs deep into the soul and tugs on every heartstring.

If the US government cared as much about its people as it does its businesses, we wouldn't be in such a sad state.
