I continue to be fascinated by the folks who insist the assassination event in Butler PA couldn't possibly have been staged, because the people willing to start a war of choice by dropping a bomb on a girl's school would never do something that would cost an innocent person's life.

A week or so ago I recorded a Podcast with VoteFromAbroad.org, a group that encourages ex-pats to make sure they get a ballot and vote. I think it's good fun. You can listen or watch here: open.spotify.com/episode/0Ol4...

Let's be clear, this was no accident, nor was it merely a coincidence.

I've been wanting to produce a Full Cast Audio version of my own book GOBLINS IN THE CASTLE for some time . . . and now it's almost ready! Because I was dissatisfied with the current cover of the print version, we commissioned Josh Addessi to do something new . . . and here it is!

The greatest threat to your health – worse than cholesterol, worse than obesity, worse than smoking – is Republican governance.

Well, it's that time of year again! Here's the story starter for this year's "Finish the Scary Story" contest. Remember this is for kids (sorry grown-ups) who live in Central NY. But parents and teachers anywhere are free to use it just for fun! www.syracuse.com/living/2026/...

Haven't posted much lately because these days posting about politics is a lot like being a weatherman someplace where the forecast never changes. Except instead of being "75 degrees with a chance of rain" every day, in politics right now the daily forecast is "Stupid, with a chance of disaster."

In news, August used to be thought of as "the silly season" because usually there was not much of importance going on. Not true now that the Mad King is in the White House . . . now almost everyday brings not silliness but utter insanity. I really, really miss the silly season.

2/2 Why are people who identify as Christians so obsessed with the Ten Commandments (Old Testament) rather than the Beatitudes (words of Jesus)? It does, I think, say a lot about a certain brand of Christianity.

Rutherford County (TN) School Board just voted to put the Ten Commandments in all classrooms. Which pauses me to once again ponder this: 1/2

So many people who don't even live in NYC hate Zohran Mamdani. The current Sienna Poll has him at a 69% approval rate among the people who actually live there. Maybe we should listen to his actual constituents instead of the nay-sayers who don't even live there.

Rick Scott is an unrelentingly horrible person, and Florida owes the entire country an apology for putting him in the senate.

Christopher Nolan’s film "The Odyssey" has focused attention on this classic. Full Cast Audio has a brilliant retelling from Geraldine McCaughrean, one of the UK's most beloved children's writers. All the adventure, heart, (and monsters!) are here for your delight! fullcastaudio.com/odysseus/

I've come to think that second best thing about THE ODYSSEY is watching Elon Musk and his merry band of chuds and incels helplessly flailing in anger over its success. Their impotent rage is hilarious.

It's Full Cast Audio's 25th Birthday! On this day 25 years ago I hired Dan Bostick as my Artistic Director and the company was launched. About 125 books later, we're still at it. Here's a free short story, featuring another of our innovations - using kids as kids! fullcastaudio.com/duffys_jacket/

The most logical way to read Pete Hegseth's bizarre obsession with performative masculinity is that he is deeply insecure in his own masculinity.

For anyone questioning the appropriateness of my celebrating the death of Lindsey Graham, please understand that I am simply following the social protocols created by the munchkins.

As we are not supposed to speak ill of the dead, I will not speak about the corpse of Lindsay Graham, only note that he was a piece of shit while he was alive. | I'll admit I am kind of hoping that the Grim Reaper was using Mitch and Lindsay as warm-ups for the big job just ahead . . .

I have a short story that begins "It was a house full of white bread and death." A literal translation of that via AI would be gibberish.
