Hugo-winning, best-selling sci-fiction author, NASA consultant, physicist, inventor - whose prediction scores offer a deluded sense of competence! When my real job is to speculate entertainingly... not necessarily to be right!

OF COURSE it is a gift for Putin and one for Putin's Republicans. Wake me when one drop of Russian diesel arrives in the US. As if Putin can spare any amid Ukrainian demolition of Vlad's vaunted 'restored USSR.'

But "ex" commissars are also feudalists!

Democratic lawmakers & candidates, UP YOUR SECURITY. Vary your schedules. Hire some of the top FBI guys fired by Bestiality Kash. Hitler grabbed enough partliament membvers to prevent a quorum from voting him out. PREPARE! And DO NOT FALL FOR SOME KGB HOTTIE. Blackmail honeypots can be forever.

80+planes plus whole bases lost + too many brave souls. Military stocks plummet to danger lows & Hegs reams our officer corps as Hitler and Stalin did in 1934 and Putin commands today. NO outcomes (deficits, debt, economy, pub.health, science etc) favor GOP rule, ever.

Today only (and alas this time only kindle) you can complete the Uplift Storm Trilogy with HEAVEN'S REACH for just $1.99. Whole galaxies disrupted. Wildly varied aliens! And those mischievous dolphins...

Buy and wear (proudly) THIS! All alone and without words, it broadcasts that we are on the march to Appomattox.

Again. For the next month you can wear this year's Halloween costume every day, as a statement of fealty and confidence that America will once again defeat confederate (and now Putin-ist/Foxite) treason, in order to save the republic. Look up 'blue union civil war kepi."

Great news! Desperate to bribe voters, Trump armtwists the West into emptying our strategic reserves. Like he reamed US weapon stocks and the Officer Corps. And Bush sold our Helium supply to pals at discount. GOPpers always raid the emergency reserves. e.g.FEMA

Midweek Post is about AI, but more. Like assigning to them a task that they'll inherently want, that's inherently good for us. Also how the new AI ecosystem will reward evolution, not any pre-programmed 'alignment." But that may open up an opportunity.

Every year on this date I think of Fred Hoyle's great novel and wonder if this is the year... But it's not too late to register to vote or (If in a red state) CHECK your registration and of every friend. Every week for the next 5 weeks.

Gee another anti-corruption tool tossed by these mafiosi.

Boycott is under-used. This will be a MINIMUM reaction to any re-putinist cheating.

Prep for the Reichstag Fire commences. Remember (and shout!) those two words when we hit the streets,

@davidbrin.bsky.social Sep 25, 2026, 5:29 PM

The voter purge begins. Tell anyone in a red state to check their own and friends' registrations WEEKLY until after the election.

Massie speaks well here, a hero and one of the last decent Republicans. And the GOP leaders like Mike Johnson are frantic to prevent all revelations. At this point, any new conservative party - may it be led by fellows like Massie - will have to drop any use of the name "Republican."

Poland brilliantly demolishes Lavrov/Putin at the UN. And adds something I have begged for years - a challenge for World Supervised elections - with totally free candidacy and media access - simultaneously in both Ukraine and Russia.

What kind of a jerk hates dogs? Worse, dogs get near Trump, sense something and hate him. It could be the harlequin-slathered makeup... or the brimstone. Hammer that fact with wavering Fox-watchers. And his spewed self-memes with stolen valor. Like purple hearts.

This link should get you my theory why Kash Patel made his weird bid to specify BESTIALITY as acceptable for FBI employees. Why it all makes frightening sense. They do everything for a reason, with one goal.

@davidbrin.bsky.social Sep 23, 2026, 9:11 PM

OK we all had a laugh over Kash Patel’s “bestiality’ grilling by Sen. John Kennedy. Alas, no one in media or politics drew two blatant conclusions. This was NOT a minor quirky/kinky matter. It may go to the very heart of the Trumpian madness.

The best appraisal of the Greenland 'deal' I have seen so far. Ignore the garish jpeg label. It's very cogent and detailed.
