She obviously wants to be First Lady. In all fairness, she will probably do a better job than the current one on Xmas decorating. Melania's tends to look like stuff that Tim Burton decided was too weird for his movies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I don’t normally believe in defacing govt buildings, but in this case it was already defaced so time to take a jackhammer to it.

Thanks to AI, I've written my book, A Tale of Two Towers, an epic fantasy about the French Revolution and the attempts by Madame DeFarge to seize the One Ring being carried by Charles Darnay, who is being followed by previous ring owner Sydney Carlton.

So Trump's cronies have illegally changed the name of the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center. Waste of money, as the next prez will be scraping every mention of his pestilent name, along with all the tacky gold glitter from the White House (and hopefully tear down the new ballroom).

"How long do I have to wear the human suit?"

I think more than anything else (except a trip to Tyburn) is for a responsible adult to send him to his room and not let him out until he learns to work and play well with others.

He looks like the human equivalent of a Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Last week I hit one of the few downsides of retiring. I had to go buy printer paper for the first time. I now have to pay for software, tape, printer paper, office supplies, etc. You'd think that would be part of a retirement package.

Perfect 20 here also.

NY Times lists best shows of 2025, Murderbot (Apple TV) listed as Honorable Mention. www.nytimes.com/2025/12/04/a...

I see this and think "push push push push push push push push."

My vote was for Tyler Robinson.

The Washington Post named Murderbot as one of the top 10 TV shows of 2025! wapo.st/491PPoe

All the talk of ads being added to everything makes me think the next time a telemarketer calls I'm going to make him listen to an ad first before he can do his pitch.

Today's practical advice for life:

We have decked the Hugos.

Introduce yourself with 5 animals you’ve seen in the wild: black bear humpback whale coyote mountain goat elk

Now Trump says he wants to fix the Lincoln Memorial's reflecting pool. I assume he's putting his personal architect on the job: Albert Speer.

Close, but here's my list: 1. Empire Strikes Back 2. Star Wars 3. Return of the Jedi (mainly because of Luke vs Vader) 4. Rogue One 5. The Force Awakens 6. The Rise of Skywalker 7. Revenge of the Sith 8. Attack of the Clones 9. last place tie, The Last Jedi & Solo.

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

So Marjorie Taylor Green is leaving Congress Jan 5. That puts her in congress for exactly 5 years. The minimum time in congress to get a full pension and lifelong health care is... 5 years.

Bobby Jr. showing the most recent worm that was in his brain.

For me it's Return to Castle Wolfenstein. Whenever I'm stressed, I find it relaxing to just go kill Nazis. Sometimes I play in God mode only using the flame thrower so I can hear them scream. I want a patch that will replace the faces with those of the Tr*mp administration.

What Dreams May Come.

Megyn Kelly got a new car!

I stand in solidarity with wood chippers.

Schumer and the Democratic "leaders" are NOT leaders. They are weak little sh*ts with no backbone. When I think what LBJ would have done if anyone had sided with the Fascists it makes me sick.

Event at the Tx Book Festival with @marthawells.com and @scalzi.com

We have arrived at the hotel in Austin no thanks to the traffic on 290.

Death comes in threes. Two more chances.

So Teen Vogue has caved. Nothing is as cowardly and quisling as a corporation. It will rush to give up it's rights and standards if it can make a few pennies more.

Kroger already has xmas stuff up. It's not a war on Xmas, it's a war on Halloween now, and Thanksgiving has already fallen to the Xmas panzer attacks. All for liebenskringle.

Big surprise. During Trump's first term this information was ignored. Anyone remember the days of the Pentagon Papers? We need someone to find a way to release the Epstein files.

Finished the night with The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and finally It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown. We gave away about 4-5 large bags of candy and probably 15 rocks.

Next up, the original William Castle version of 13 Ghosts.

Doing my annual watch of Gene Roddenberry’s Spectre, an unsold pilot tv movie. Cheesy FX, I think the demon is the Gorn costume, but it’s a Halloween favorite for me.

And now, your moment of Zen. Theme from Shaft played on ukuleles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlMT...

Confirmed design of Trump's White House.

@marthawells.com at Nowhere Books in San Antonio right now.

The Democrats have taken stern action against Trump ruining the White House. They’ve announced he won’t get his security deposit back.

If I were elected President after the Fascist Dictator, the first think I'd order is the demotion of the new ballroom and East Wing, and have the old one rebuilt from historic blueprints. And scrape all the tacky gold off the walls of the Oval Office.

Nobody hates software subscription models more than IT professionals. The hoops I had to jump through for installing Adobe on Dept Computers using the Adobe educational licensing system was horrible. We ALL hated Adobe.

Tomorrow night in San Antonio, the last stop on the road for @marthawells.com "Queen Demon" book tour! Are we excited? Yes! Are we exhausted? Yes! www.nowherebookshop.com/event/martha...

@marthawells.com starting her event at Murderbot by the Book in Houston.

Taking questions.

In 30 minutes at Book People in Austin.

No Kings, the way it should be done with wannabes.

Define your music taste in 8 artists. 1. The Beatles 2. Heart 3. Fleetwood Mac 4. Mannheim Steamroller 5. Silly Wizard 6. George Winston 7. Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass 8. Steeleye Span

More evidence there is no justice system and we’re a banana republic. The Orange Idiot has just commuted fraudster and thief George Santos’ prison sentence. There are no rules that affect you if you’re a Nazi Republican.
