#VoteBlue. Hold your nose if you have to. This is not the time to make a statement. This is the time to save the freaking world from the #fascists. #politics #Midterms #election #votethemout
A light blue circle, bordered with red. Inside the light blue area the words VOTE BLUE are repeated five times, with white stars in between. In the center of the circle is a silhouette of a cat on a shelf pushing a red white and blue elephant off of the edge. The elephant has white stars and MAGA on it. It also has Trump hair.

One of the perks of visiting my family in the US is driving a rental car every visit. Even though I ask for the cheapest, I frequently get upgraded when they are not available. They are always the latest model. I had a 2026 Mustang at the beginning of the year. One of the cool perks was […]

#PennedPossibilities 1139: Do you have a ritual before you sit down to write? At this point I would describe my ritual as about two years of procrastination, social media posts, comments on the New York Times, and briefly looking at the link to my novel first thing every morning.

#WritersCoffeeClub – 26th Sept. How does your faith feature in your works? It really doesn't, on any significant scale. A couple of characters had religious backgrounds, and one still clings to a couple rituals, but it is not critical to the story.

#ScribesAndMakers Have you ever put proceeds from sales towards a cause you believe in? As a painter, may times. I sold paintings to give aid to Katrina, after 9-11, and donated work to multiple silent auctions over the years. Never made much money from my writing.

#PennedPossibilities 1135. Do you enjoy exploring new genres? In more that 60 years as a reader, I have probably touched on most genres. I do enjoy encountering new styles or voices, and new twists on old ideas. In recent years, I have found some outstanding queer sci-fi, which, I guess […]

So, after eighteen months of lying on the supermarket floor screaming at Denmark, Donald Trump has been handed the 1951 defence agreement, which already gave America bases and the run of Greenland for as long as NATO exists, and which it was using so enthusiastically that it closed sixteen of its seventeen installations there. The grown-ups have simply wrapped the toy he already owned in shiny new paper, told him it was the biggest present anyone has ever had, and he is now running round the garden showing it to everyone. He will certainly make the history books, although I fear not in the chapter he was hoping for.

This historic deal is a huge win for the United States and the American people. Thanks to President Trump’s vision and leadership, this historic agreement permanently guarantees U.S. security interests in the Arctic at zero cos...

A hopeful if largely meaningless chart from the #NYT, showing the change in pundit opinions over the last two months.
A chart from the New York Times showing the opinions of six pundits on the upcoming election, and the change in those opinions since July. In July, two of them thought Republicans would keep their Senate majority. Now none of them do. Four of them now say Democrats will control the House, up from one in July.
