Knicks on a roll. Trump goes to a game. Knicks lose. hmmm.

WRITE TO MARKET: THE CONUNDRUM My latest Patreon post is up. It comes out of nagging thoughts about a conversation I had at lunch, and how it seems to me that writers will argue over things that really don’t matter all that much. I guess that makes us human, right? www.patreon.com/posts/write-...

My Only New Year’s Prediction: Readers & AI (or, 2026 — The Year of the Reader) Ouch. I wrote this a few months back, then messed up and didn't push it to Tyopsphere. Geez. Proves I'm human? Anyway, given the pace of things, maybe it's more interesting today. www.typosphere.com/2026/03/31/m...
