she took safety-critical software engineering seriously, and got people to the moon and back.

I’m not pro-war, but it’s clear that wars of the future will be fought with drones and tech by soldiers mostly sitting behind monitors and joysticks. But, yeah, those people doing a ton of push ups will definitely be the advantage the U.S. needs.
Nothing compliments pineapple like some pinecrabble
Went to a local restaurant. Had to leave because of this AI monstrosity of a menu. (Bonus points for putting all the TVs on Fox News)
I don’t care if you’re a “nice person” behind closed doors. What good does that do anyone? It’s also never true, but even if it were, why would it help me in any way?
From The Automatic Detective, my retro sci fi detective novel: Joseph Jung, mutant gorilla And an unfinished sketch of Alfredo Sanchez, mutant cop. Is he a man who mutated into a possumoid or a possum who mutated into a humanoid? I’ll never tell.
I thought Lanterns was okay enough to watch 2 episodes before I checked out. No biggie. But now I’m seeing that it is either one of the greatest superhero shows ever or the worst. Oh, internet, never change. Actually, maybe change a little.
ah damn, RIP Margaret Hamilton.

Mack Megaton cartoon I did. I wrote The Automatic Detective 18 years ago. I know Ray Gun will soon eclipse it, but not going down without a fight. So if you’re looking for a retro detective story with robots and mutants, I’d say it’s worth a read.
After years of being told to fear Muslims, immigrants, and the "enemy within", look at who actually called for U.S. cities to be destroyed. The President of the United States. A white pedophile billionaire telling a foreign power to bomb U.S. cities. Sit with how fucking insane that sentence is.
"chatGPT thinks I am a genuis" is just the modern version of "I think this stripper is in love with me"
Propaganda has us thinking of AI as Skynet, ready to destroy us with killer robots, but really AI is a guessing machine that will drink all our water and convince us the moon is made of cheese.
My country is being run by people who only understand aesthetics, who mistake their own (clumsy) propaganda for truth, who think themselves all John Galt because they were born into wealth and privilege. What a bunch of dopes.
Not as far as I know. Baen is a new publisher for me, so I’m not sure of their policy on audiobooks. I do hope one comes along sooner rather than later, but I’m unaware of any developments of yet.
rape is not an oopsie daisy. it's not a youthful "mistake." it is a life-altering violation of someone's fundamental bodily autonomy. it inflicts intense suffering and psychological trauma. it is torturous to experience and it is often torturous to continue living afterward. it is a big deal.

I don’t tend to follow my release numbers after a book comes out. It’ll just drive you crazy. But Unbearable keeps coming out high on Arthurian Fantasy subcategory on Amazon. So I’ll take a win while I can.
We placed a hungry bear den in the middle of this college. If you’re stupid enough to walk by it, that’s your problem! Why did we put the hungry bear den there? Tradition.
No matter how hard they try to spin this. The onus of not being a rapist. 100% is on the rapist. Always.
An aspiring writer asked me “Are you writing a book or are you writing something that will one day become a book?” The distinction hit me like a brick. I don’t think there’s a wrong answer, but your answer says a lot about how the process works for you. I’m Option 2. Just FYI
You cannot Focus Group Your Way to Relevance. If all it took was polling and data to win at governance then the world would be a very different place.
