I needed to troubleshoot an issue with our legals feed. The developer for the press association says it's our issue, the failing feeds are malformed. They are not. He says if I can't fix them, then he could probably use AI to parse the feed. Game over. You are officially an idiot.

What is he dreaming about? Ozzie sleeps.

Your daily reminder that Alanis Morissette started her career in pop.

Check out this great new journal, Grit Quarterly, brought to us by the talented @danrussell.bsky.social. My story, The Bear is below. gritquarterly.com#jd-clapp-the...

Hey, here’s some more books I liked. You might like them too. Go on, get some @lauramchugh.bsky.social @curtisippolito.bsky.social @robwhart.bsky.social @nkolakowski.bsky.social @bamawriter.bsky.social @steveweddle.bsky.social and @meaganlucas.bsky.social Fun was had! #BookSky 📚🪓 #SummerRecs

Novacaine was painful.

Putting in a new microwave. I'm no Tim Taylor. Or maybe I am. What I need is an Al Borland so I don't break something.

Durp. #caturday with Ozzie.

The first episodes of MURDERBOT based on the series by @marthawells.com are full of sardonic dry humor. Alexander Skarsgård is great, the cast play well against him. Only caveat, are the short 25 minute-ish episodes. Same feeling with Kevin Bacon's THE BONDSMAN, but that balanced out well.

What’s this? A first look at Taron Edgerton and Ana Sophia Heger as Nate and Polly in Nick Rowland’s adaptation of my Edgar-Award-winning novel SHE RIDES SHOTGUN? In advance of the film’s release later this year? Is the worm finally turning for humanity? Signs point to yes!

That time I pretended to be a comic book creator. Art by Dario Carrasco.

We did something to firmly keep "one too many cats" in my bio. Meet Ozzie.

How are the cicadas sounding for y'all? Our house backs to the woods and well, it makes wonderful white noise.

Cutting the lawn. Takes twice as long... But it's flatter over all.

I never imagined we would we succumb to such an anti-intellectual regime. The Library of Congress is not a public library. No child is going to be given access to inappropriate material. It is a research library containing the largest holdings in print, digital, audio information.

I got an Audible recommendation for a new Christopher Moore books... only it wasn't that Christopher Moore. I think there should be an author's guild like the actor's guild that protects identity. Then you wouldn't have that Stephen R. King writing subpar Stephen King.

That time Freya got stuck in the kitty gate.

“Did you know vodka is considered barely flammable? Not like grain alcohol. Now, this is extremely flammable.” From his coat he pulled a bottle of Everclear grain alcohol, removed the lid, set it on the table in front of him. downandoutbooks.com/bookstore/pi...

New Fiction: "Trouble, Start to Finish" by @keithroysdon.bsky.social shotgunhoney.com/fiction/trou...

This was in my daily photo memories. Freya and mini-void Django.

“What,” Terence said, winking at her. “Didn’t I ever tell you about Itinerary B?” Helen stared at him. “No.” “Well,” Terence said, turning back to the road. “Probably ‘cause it’s a secret.” From Closing Time at the Sunny-Side-Up

The house is emptier. Django is wandering around calling out. He filled Percy's role as cat dog.

Freya (2012-2025). She's together again with Percy (2010-2024). #cancersucks for all species.
