So I finally finished listening to “When the Moon Hits Your Eye” by @scalzi.com and I look forward to the next trilogy of books in this theme. Was a solid palette change from my regular absorption into current events. Got me spurred into thinking about the settings for my own stories at least.

Currently working out what plastics take the longest to break down so I know what jugs to scavenge and carry water across the Wasteland States of America with.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation. I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism. Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community. kettering.org/do-not-compl...

Still writing up my thoughts on one year playing Helldivers 2. Honestly played a bunch of new games, but that’s the one that stuck. I just wish I had the time to finish getting it all on paper. I will eventually, but the pressure of current events and work is keeping me down.

I still can’t figure out when “we can deport you” turned into “we can put you in a hell hole prison in a third country, indefinitely, with no legal recourse.”

Video games have been largely immune to inflation because Gamers are whiny babies who throw a fit if their Mario costs $4 more than it did in 1996. And I hate to say it, but the lesson is that we all need to be huge babies all the time. Eggs go up 12 cents? Threaten the family of the CEO of Egg.

So my final thoughts on DS9: A stick in time is that Andrew J Robinson should have written more books. Not even necessarily in Star Trek, but just generally. I was a fan before, but he has a talent for writing that really was something special.

Finally listening to ‘DS9: A Stitch in Time’ and I’m very impressed.

If Dems ever get power again - assuming free and fair elections (big assumption) - they will never again have the excuse of “we can’t pass laws through congress and the president is powerless.” Presidency is now a king level position capable of law by EO alone apparently.

Saving 8 planets and losing 1 is an acceptable casualty outcome. We’re in this for the long haul, one planet ain’t gonna turn it all around. The Missle will be completed in time to save Super Earth. Let’s save those peoples homes. #Helldivers2

I got called a privileged white man by a leftist again Over haircuts dating back thousands of years I’m never gonna take that kinda thing seriously, because 1) I’m very obviously a cat 2) there’s a actual fascist takeover of the US government happening like I was warning about almost a decade ago

I love the world that this self-defense cane company is trying to sell me on. Every commercial starts with two white haired geriatrics squaring up with canes like they going to sword fight and one smashes his cane through the others. I f old men really are meeting up like this I want to see.

This is all civil discourse will give you…honesty. They really just don’t want to know what is going on. They will fight for their illusions and delusions non stop. MAGA folk are spiritually and intellectually weak because they want to be.

Last year, Republicans silenced her. This year, many stood beside her and defeated four anti-trans bills. This is the power of standing up for your beliefs and for what's right, and good trouble. National Democrats, take notice. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

WOW. 10+ Republicans just flipped in Montana and voted to kill a 25 year statute of limitations on trans care meant to end care, amended it down to 4 years. This may not seem like a big deal, but it's huge. It's the most Republicans I've seen flip like this in recent memory. Zooey's doing work.

I kinda hate how every male YouTuber playing Monster Hunter Wilds has a blonde girl for their avatar. Like why is everyone playing the goddamn blacksmith…. Well except one, but 11/12 is freaking unreal and creepy.

WOW. After yesterday’s Oval Office ambush of President Zelensky, Haltbakk Bunkers, one of Norway’s leading marine fuel providers, announced that it will no longer refuel U.S. Navy vessels, urging other European firms to follow suit. The United States is weaker and more isolated than ever.
