Hear me out. All police misconduct cases paid out of police pension funds. Because as a citizen I'm really sick of public funds being used to pay these AND having to worry about a cop doing something shitty to me because they have no accountability.

I dont know how to explain to you that democrats putting out attack ads on a minority currently facing global genocide instead of on their opponents are not the kind of people who will fight for anyone. those are the kind of democrats that side with Republicans when it comes to ice/police budgets.

I often listen back to our podcasts and agree with myself. (though not always, which is odd) Referencing the "competency porn" label that things like Project Hail Mary get and saying The Legends of Ethshar by @wattevans.bsky.social is "thought process porn" is one of those times I agree with me.

You absolutely do not have to meet Republicans or MAGA down middle on any issue, fuck them. Push for what you as an opposition need and don’t give them an inch. Stall the government indefinitely if you have too. Better to freeze the process than allow injustice and fascism room to grow.

Got a fan letter about my short story "Jim Tuckerman's Angel." Flattering and thoughtful -- but he got the title wrong. Interesting. (And no, it's not AI. I've heard from this guy before, and he's definitely real. I'm guessing he knows someone with the name he substituted for "Tuckerman.")

And to be really real, I think the men screaming that it's okay to be masculine don't feel masculine at all and don't know how to be men. They only know how NOT to be women. And that's not the same thing. Abusing, denigrating, and ostracizing us will never make you a man.

There's even a term for works where the current copyright ownership is unclear: Orphan Works. Be aware that just because a work is orphaned does not mean it is in the public domain. Typically, one would have to wait for the full run of copyright for that to happen. www.copyright.gov/orphan/

I am pleased to report that after almost four years, I have completed the first draft of Tom Derringer & the Sinister Statue, fifth in the Tom Derringer series. The reason it took so long is mostly that the original outline didn't work; I threw it out and reworked the whole thing several times.
