It's been a while since I've had the time to update this site. I just found this post which was almost complete. Here's some artwork that first appeared in #AmericanGirl Magazine. A SInger's Story, May 2021. More to come soon, hopefully! #JosephFranke #Pulpart #illustrations

You had me at “I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” Even that would do.

America needs a network with a strong progressive voice. This is MSNBC’s path to success. Yet they stepped away from that when they fired Joy Reid and their other hosts of color. Be courageous MSNBC. Be the voice we need. Add your name to the petition NOW! sign.moveon.org/petitions/br...

The arrival of our latest episode is imminent where we'll drift down that first six chapters of "The Currents of Space." Meanwhile, look at these nice illustrations by Henry van Dongen! #Asimov #ScienceFiction #PulpArt #Podcasts #GalacticEmpire #SciFi #StarsEndPodcast #PulpScienceFiction

I've had blood oranges that reminded me of pink grapefruit before. But, yikes! This feels like I'm in a #StevenKing novel!

At least this time it will be named after Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg who, rather than trying to overthrow the government, works to hold ne’er-do-wells accountable for their misdeeds. And he does a fine job; 34 felony convictions! This is my story & I’m sticking to it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

When companies invest in DEI, they invest in people. Now's the time for Target to stand firm in its values, not retreat. Will you add your name to call on Target's leadership to reinstate its DEI programs? sign.moveon.org/petitions/ta...

This is what a leader sounds like. There’s a lot of people who need to hear this. #canada #tarrifs #trudeau #trump youtu.be/q1qEaCQa6_w?...

It's #MyStarTrekVoyagerRewatch S1E02 “Caretaker Part 2” Ugh! The Kazon! Also, B'Elanna and Harry go to the mall, Kes plays Jiminy Cricket, & Neelix hugs Tuvok. Still, not quite so good as part 1. #StarTrek #StarTrekVoyager #Rewatch #Janeway

Did I hear this correctly? The #Trump Administration is halting federal funding for #Cancer research and a bunch of other stuff? Is this about NIH employees telling the truth during COVID? Is this because Biden cares about Cancer research because of Beau? Ineptness? Something benign? Answers?

My #StarTrekVoyager rewatch S1E01 “Caretaker Part 1” It's Voyager's 30th Anniversary this week! Let's pick up the #rewatch! You might notice I'm not quite going in order. Let's meet the crew and get our @sses to the Delta Quadrant! #StarTrek

If you're looking for something worth celebrating today, other than of course #MLKDay, it's DeForest Kelley's 105th birthday. He was a big part of making #StarTrek the enduring phenomenon it is today. youtu.be/6LcBRSPDAPU?...

Here's my last Probabilistic Look at the #Election2024. Harris has an edge. Not inconsistent with what we're seeing tonight so far. #2024PresidentalElection #KamalaHarris x#Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/11/05/a...

Here's my last Probabilistic Look at the 2024 election. Harris has an edge. Not inconsistent with what we're seeing tonight so far. #2024PresidentalElection #KamalaHarris 's #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis

There has been a spate of bomb threats at polling locations in DeKalb County, GA. Biden won DeKalb in 2020 with 83% of the vote. Someone is scared. #Election2024 #Harris #Trump

The Polls are now closed. I'll be here on and off; and live blogging at my blog. My final prediction for the race: Harris Wins: 276 to 262 but it could be a lot better. #Election2024 #WhoWillWin #shewillwin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/11/05/l...

I'm playing catch-up. Here's the first of two quick posts with older results, this one is from 30 Sept. #2024PresidentalElection #KamalaHarris's #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/10/14/a...

5 minutes to Geeks and Walz for Harris Walz! www.youtube.com/live/Is876dF...

I actually got to finish a #2024PresidentalElection update the day I started it. #KamalaHarris's odds of winning are at 3 to 1. #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/09/22/a...

Galaxy SF editor H. L. Gold was notorious for changing titles. On this episode of the @StarsEndPodcast we start The Stars, Like Dust. Or Tyrann. Pick one. #ScienceFiction #Podcasts #SciFi #StarsEndPodcast #GalacticEmpire #PulpScienceFiction comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/09/21/s...

My #2024PresidentalElection updates should now appear over the weekend. 
Here's my latest one. There's a slight drift in #KamalaHarris's direction. #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/09/16/a...

A few days later than normal; here's my #2024PresidentalElection update! Not much change, with bonus results from 8/29. You want to see this! #KamalaHarris #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/31/a...

We're about two days from the next episode of the #StarsEndPodcast. See what's coming! Plus a look at some Excellent #PulpArt from #Galaxy Science Fiction! #ScienceFiction #Podcasts #SciFi #StarsEndPodcast #GalacticEmpire #PulpScienceFiction starsendpodcast.com/2024/08/30/n...

In the new @StarsEndPodcast we talk about Chs 14 to 22 of Pebble in the Sky and finish Asimov's very first book! Earth's doing pretty well, but will the rest of the galaxy survive? #ScienceFiction #Podcasts #SciFi #TheStarsEndPodcast comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/26/s...

Well, that was a hell of a speech and a hell of a convention. Now let's go!

They would walk 500 miles and they would walk 500 more, just to be the men who walked 1000 miles to vote for Harris/Waaaaaalz

Here's my latest look at the #2024PresidentalElection! We've slid back toward a 50/50 race but #KamalaHarris still leads! See for yourself! Let's go! #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/22/a...

Let's talk about Chs 7 to 13 of Pebble in the Sky! It's the best episode @StarsEndPodcast we can do with our normal human brains! You don't need a synapsifier to know which way the wind blows. #ScienceFiction #Podcasts #SciFi #TheStarsEndPodcast comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/19/s...

I suppose this has to go back in the other direction eventually but the #2024PresidentalElection looks good for #KamalaHarris! Don't miss this one! #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #ElectionTwitter #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/15/a...

It's time for another episode of the @StarsEndPodcast! It isn't where it all began but it is #Asimov's 1st actual book AND his first novel! Join us for the first six chapters of Pebble in the Sky! #ScienceFiction #Podcasts #SciFi #StarsEndPodcast comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/13/s...

Here's another analysis of the #2024PresidentalElection. #KamalaHarris has taken the lead. Don't miss this one! #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024 #Election #DonaldTrump #ElectionAnalysis #WhoWillWin comicstheuniverseandeverything.net/2024/08/10/a...

Here's the latest map for my Presidential Election Analysis. Not a lot of new polls since the last one. Since I only reach back 10 days several polls have dropped off. I'm hoping for some new data soon. The analysis will appear soon. #Election #Election2024 #Harris2024 #Trump2024

So, the answer is Tim Walz. That’s a solid pick and he’s still young enough for Joe Biden to call him “Kid.” We’ve hoisted the Minnesota flag in honor of the selection. Now, let’s go win this thing! #Election2024 #Harris2024 #HarrisWalz2024 #HarrisWalz
