My new book on AI spans aspects you'll find nowhere else, like how Darwin+Nature manifesting dangerously. How 3 clichés control the geniuses designing AI. Or what it will take for LLMs to gain consciousness. Come sample a few riffs and the Table of Contents. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/03/want...

Doing your taxes? Weren't we going to be doing our taxes on a postcard, by now? JD Powers said IRS service quality went way up after the 2022 Pelosi bills, then plummeted when Noem sent 1000s of IRS service staff to be border guards. Above all, so auditors couldn't chase cheaters in the Caymans.

Trump's mafia takeover of Maduro's gang is sealed. Godfather loves gold! And oil. And nada for Venezuela's people. Zoom into the smiles for the new capo. It's all mob deals - Argentina, Salvador, soon Iran & Cuba +blackmail strings thru Red America. Cancer threads. www.axios.com/2026/03/05/t...

In light of US officers literally calling for the end of the world, here is my posting from October re: Peter Thiel’s ravings about “The Antichrist” and the Book of Revelation. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2025/10/ai-o...

Posted: Ten reasons why we are at war with Iran... and none of them are about either the "nuclear program" or freeing the Iranian people. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/03/why-...

Again: Mafiosi don't help citizens. They take over local gangs & rackets go on. Trump could have given democracy to Venezuelans, but took over Maduro's gang. Any Iran deal will betray Iranians. Miami mobs will slide atop Castro clans in Cuba. This is a Mafia. www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/...

Midweek posting is one of my short stories! A tale of optimism and hope and belief that one individual can make a real difference. Nothing 'political' about it. Just that in dire times, we could all use a little hope. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-li...

wow. I once had a chimp like that... well, in THE UPLIFT WAR! which will be on sale (e-book) Thursday for $2.99!

If you're attending the big RSA Conference in San Francisco March 23, my keynote that morning will be about the security implications of AI... (riffing off my brand new book on Artificial Intelligence.) path.rsaconference.com/flow/rsac/us... #AI #cybersecurity #RSAC #2026RSAC

Today's midweek posting reiterates some history (and hysteria) -related points that I've put on soc.media, hoping some folks will pay attention to off-angle perspectives that are (I assert) more accurate and useful than most standard ones you're seeing. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/02/a-ma...

While YouTube's menu system appears to be down, here's a link to test, and a fun little trip down memory lane. Back whn this sort of thing took real money to make! www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIVN...

Signs waved by the REMAIN crowds during Brexit. Britain-IN =. ?

As predicted in two of my novels EARTH and EXISTENCE. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzr-...

It's a whole genre now. Trek-riffs as vikings, pirates, whatever. This is my favorite. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1eqY...

We'll need anthems. The Battle Hymn of the Republic served out blue forebears in the 1860s, but not today. Springsteen will do. Still, listen to the righteous rage in this Judy Collins warning, if a moderate rooseveltean reset fails. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zEys...

Time's almost up! Sane US conservatives have 2weeks - maybe 4 - to gather courage, honor and decency to step up for their country and our children. (See how.) After that, there'll be nothing to salvage from the undead, gone-treasonous party of Lincoln. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/02/two-...

AI 'book promotion' offers flood the in-boxes of most authors. Starting with gushing praise and detailed plot summaries they truly make you wonder boutAI(LLM) abilities to emulate cognizance. Some summaries are accurate, seemingly empathic and... uncanny. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/02/here...

AT LAST! Democrats HIRE this woman! The rich ninnies who think they can restore 6000 years of dismally stoopid feudalism by crushing the people and the fact professions are only summoning rides on Uber-Tumbrels.

There were >20 honorable Republican senators, during Watergate. Today there are (tepidly) 3. The 'decent wing' of the Republican Party has three weeks to stand up. By mid March it will be too late for any such mythical 'decent Republicans' to register to 'primary' treacherous/liar MAGAs politicians.

Today only, the entire UPLIFT STORM TRILOGY (e-book) is on sale at $3.99. Enough adventure to fill a buncha days. More types of aliens than you can shake a wand at (and you know that I do em well;-) And answers to half of your questions! www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Congratulations Minnesota! You pulled more than your weight in the 1860s: Shiloh, Gettysburg, Vicksburg. And now you have shown us the way forward in the nation's resistance and ultimate triumph over treachery and outright evil in 2025-26. On to Appomattox! apnews.com/article/minn...

Daily, we ask "What if Biden did 1% of the latest Trump travesty?" Sending jackbooted/masked federal goons snatching&killing thru MAGA towns? Grabbing your guns? Federal takeover of your elections? Wrecking NATO? Pardoning 100s of felons, including drug lords? Pervs! ETC! youtu.be/4I-eKWtYtw4

So many earnest proposals would reform weaknesses in the US system that were exploited by traitors. Alas, too many are politically impractical. Here is the full list of my own proposed Newer Deal tactics and reforms. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2025/11/the-...

The Crypto sales to petro princes, the Deutsche Bank/Russian bribes, EACH of the top Trump scams amount to more than the alleged graft of ALL previous presidents, combined. What'd Hunter do again? 'Sold' a meeting with the VICE President... that never even happened? www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xXm...

Weekend posting is about SCIENCE! Interesting news. Some of it even good! davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/02/scie...

This year don't wait for halloween. Wear it at every demonstration.

This goes beyond mere punishing of opponents. (Which NEVER happened, the other direction.) They are EXACTLY repeating the 1850s slave-catcher raids that radicalized the north into voting in Lincoln and restarting their dormant militias.

Here’s a terrific little story setting in perspective what I have long called the Great Project of Inclusion-Expansion. Long may it continue (and this author) to prosper! aribrin.substack.com/p/metal-dete...

Is this the beginnings of the 'gravity laser' I spoke of, in EARTH? I love this show, but it requires major major concentration, even for a licensed physicist! And even if this episode proves out someday, it would then be a long road to... Grazers! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4Dq...

15 years "ve said "It's Blackmail!" And I illustrate it in a story! davidbrin.blogspot.com/2025/09/how-...

Oops. I forgot to announce my most recent blog about Artificial Intelligence. A very small sample of my Big AI Book that I just finished! davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/01/cont...

Waaa! No one comes to my parties? Snub me, will you? Then there won't BE any parties! That'll show em. Just 'private' 'repair donations' armtwisted from the town shopkeepers, like Amazon & Target & Walmart. "Mafia stuff? Sure but at SCALE! "Only Putin does mafia bigger and better than the Don!"

I truly cannot comprehend the majority/public disdain for this truly excellent and fun adventure flick. www.youtube.com/watch?v=290L...

Spread word for folks to shout "A bigger 9/11 is coming, to distract and 'rally' us and cancel elections!" If enough folks shout it (this link only cites 20% of the reasons) then we might even prevent it. ericstormbrief.substack.com/p/the-zero-v... See also: www.theatlantic.com/politics/202...

Scarier n' s**t... ericstormbrief.substack.com/p/the-zero-v...

Republicans used to brag they were on-average better educated and had better earned incomes. Now that's reversed, despite Democrats still representing the poor and GOPpers going all-in with billionaires. What's it mean? All the PROFESSIONS who know stuff can see who's waging war on them.

This NY Times op-ed cites my book The Transparent Society, which back in 98 predicted the choice that we face. Nice to see somebody read it. Every chapter is pertinent to right now. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/26/o...?

Contest winner captures this repeat of the 1850s, as jackbooted, coward-masked ex-Jr.High-bullies shatter our forbearance. Fools think only wimps like science, facts, law, justice and allies. (Nerds!) But they are waking a sleeping giant and filling us with a terrible resolve.

A total break of theme in honr of Ravel's 150th Birthday... and way cool. We all could use a smile. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ohUq...

Just 400 days ago we had people of this caliber. Listen to the intellect, wisdom and agile focus on doing what must be done. Our own Antony Blinken was at or above this level. Remember, when a super 9/11 hits with the intent of getting us "rallying." But 1st -Cuba. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYjv...

What's wrong with US education when top pundits can't see today repeats 1857, when slave-catcher rampagers in northern states enflamed normally-calm northern tempers, til they restarted dormant militias &semi-violently freed captured neighbors from the raiders, www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

Any of you who rationalize excuses for this madness, are you seriously able to look in a mirror and not see the monstrous betrayal? www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump...

He LOOKS like central casting's pick for the 'one adult in the Trump2.0 administration.' But looks are deceiving. There are none.

Today, one of my best novels - EARTH - 2nd for Hugo + on every list of Best Predictive Novels - is just $1.99 (e-book). Scenes in Greenland that amaze. on Kobo, B&N, Amazon (also lovely in audio!) www.barnesandnoble.com/w/earth-davi... Much pertinent to today. Plus intense bio & physics spec!

Danes have experience defending Greenland! See how a couple of dog-sled crews attacked a Nazi incursion on the icy east coast, forcing them to evacuate. (11:30 into the video.) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ufig...

Weekend Post: My most provocative and SFnal - and LIKELY - explanation for Donald Trump's desperate wish for unrivaled fame - and especially icy Greenland. And how it might lead to a 'deal' he can't refuse. davidbrin.blogspot.com/2026/01/his-...

"Bring it!" Walz & Frey must demand that that Noem&Bondi&gang bring all accusations at once before a Grand Jury of average citizens (mostly white retirees), and try for indictment. "I now waive all legal steps that might delay it. Bring it! Then? YOUR civil trial." www.today.com/video/doj-is...

This appraisal of Trump's Iran policy misses elements but reveals the callous cynicism. A mafioso taking another gang's territory won't free locals from predators, but shifts the predators' loyalties to Casino-Don's expanding gang. Kiss the Godfather's ring. www.19fortyfive.com/2026/01/coer...
