This is an excellent summary of the US War on Iran current situation. I’m an existentialist and borderline absurdist and even I struggle with the current moment. This summary is just fantastic.

Hugo nominations end in a week! If you're nominating, don't forget the new poetry category! The thread below includes my poems available online.

FYI that I'm eligible for the Hugo Award for Best Fan Writer. While I did a ton of commentary and reporting last year on the SF/F genre and artificial intelligence, I'm most proud of my writings about being a neurodiverse author and my booklet "Tips and Strategies for Neurodiverse Writers." 1/

I have a joke about Hephaistos, but it's pretty lame.

Just in case anyone's not familiar with this bit.... www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ruj...

I have an AI joke but the judge sanctioned me for telling it in court.

Woke up and this is still real! My love letter to Greek myths is a Nebula Award finalist! Thanks so much to everyone at SFWA who embraced Alcides and Auntie Hera.

How your email finds me.

Most people live like the pandemic never happened, but some of us never fully got our lives back. For 5 years, I’ve lived with Long Covid in the form of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). There are millions around the world like me. Today is #LongCovidAwareness Day. Help spread the word!

When I was 12 I got a pass from the NYC MTA and took the subway to school every day on my own.

I am so ashamed of this country due to the atrocities and the horrors that something merely cringeworthy like this should logically have no effect. And yet....

This was a triumph! I'm making a note here: huge success.

While I've been getting lots of email scam spam for book clubs eager to promote my books and so on, a first today for phone spam. Poor guy was obviously reading from a script, and English was far from his first language.

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

Tangentially related (because it's about English folk, not Irish), but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share this

This is hilarious. Also, completely enraging.

If anyone needs 2 tickets to Sirens (March 18-22, New Haven CT), please hit me up. I got them at the advance price, but we can negotiate. With car trouble and some other things, I’m regrettably not going after all. sirensconference.org

Sorry I know the world is in a terrible fix but I've been laughing at this for ten minutes now

Some games that are important to me, from my9games.com. Could easily swap out 4 or 5 of them for others, however. I wonder if anyone but me has ever heard of Sundog? Amazing quality for such a low tech era.

If anyone is friends with any Georgian air traffic controllers, buy them a nice bottle of wine. As guardians of pretty much the only narrow gap still available between Europe and Asia that avoids both Iran, the Gulf, Ukraine and Russia, they are under some substantial pressure.

Strongly recommended!

“Many persons have inquired: Where is the goal of mankind? [...] Past thinking and methods did not prevent world wars. Future thinking must prevent wars. [...] A new type of thinking is essential if mankind is to survive and move toward higher levels.” — Albert Einstein

My late father taught me many things but this was one: It's good to eat ice cream in the summer because it cools you off. It's good to eat ice cream in the winter because it doesn't melt so fast. It's good to eat ice cream in the spring and fall because the lines are shorter.

It seems that Meta staff may review any and all smart glasses videos. It's hard to imagine anyone buying one who knew this. futurism.com/artificial-i...

My silly regency-period story, "The Notorious Debut of Lord Cerunincos", is read brilliantly by Jamie Baird of Liars' League of London. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8YG...

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

Preorders are live for The Final Chronicle of Yeneh! Part portal fantasy, part sci-fi adventure, all heart. Think Narnia in space. If you love Narnia but wonder why they needed four British children to rule them after deposing the evil queen, this one's for you. hornedlarkpress.com/product/the-...

To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. -Theodore Roosevelt

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.” — Dwight D. Eisenhower

www.youtube.com/watch?v=42Vy... Epictetus probably slept with hands above the covers Lost no sleep in counting sheep or numbers of ex-lovers. The thing about a stoic is he's always understated I don't know about happiness but virtue's overrated.

I'm told we're low on Nebula nominations, so now would be a great time to finalize your votes.... Of course I'd be happy to send my short novel The Shadow Minister on request for a last minute selection....
