I wonder where they parked the clown car they all fell out of.

MAGA is like a Russian-built wrecking ball smashing through all of our democratic institutions, including the Supreme Court.

Overheard: “Trump is Don Snoreleone.”

Drop a line from one of your books/stories with no explanation:

“Beautiful planet. It’d be a shame to have to kill it.”

CanaDaBear 🇨🇦🐻🖖 The Dayton Ward who used to be blue-checked Btw, after you finish reading the Vanguard series, you may want to read 'Harm's Way' by David Mack. This book returns to the Vanguard universe and tells a TOS story that takes place in the middle of the Vanguard series timeline.

My editor says it’s time to promote Baen Books’ upcoming space-western anthology LAST TRAIN OUTTA KEPLER-283c, edited by David Boop!

In addition to other fine tales, it includes my new original short story “Living by the Sword.” More info on my website:

Dammit. Just when Wisconsin was finally starting to un-fuck itself after decades of GOP gerrymandering and misrule, it’s at risk of its state supreme court tipping back into MAGA control next spring. Bugger. (Gift Article on WaPo)

Russia has completely destroyed the Trypilska Thermal Power Plant in Kyiv. Due to Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to bring the Ukraine aid bill for a vote, Ukraine doesn't have the capacity to shoot down Russian missiles and drones.

Shame on you, Speaker Mike Johnson

Rewatched DS9's 'The Siege of AR-558' tonight - possibly the darkest episode of Trek so far, as traumatised soldiers hold their positions in a place where traditional Star Trek optimism and hope seems far away indeed. There is no excitement and spectacle, only the cold realities…

Don't sleep on this: *2* state justices who just voted to make all abortion illegal in Arizona are on the ballot this year.

They're each up for retention, as I had detailed here last week: boltsmag.org/your-state-by-…

Democracy Docket This letter says the deadline was announced in June of 2023. The DNC set the dates of the convention a year before the host city was announced in April 2023. Alabama changed their deadline after the DNC convention dates were set.

Reminder that Trump had a terrible campaign in 16 and still won.

Meanwhile, in the party that isn't promoting a cult of personality.

I'd undo Lucas's 'special edition' and restore the film to its theatrical-release perfection.

We're in blood sacrifice times, repeating what past leaders have done. Women carrying babies and school children shootings come to mind.
