About 100 folks gathered today to calling for Slusser to resign as the leader (chair) of Madison County government. His fellow Republican predecessor and rival Kurt Prenzler rolled down his window at us and said he agreed Slusser was wrong to post that Dr. Fauci should be publicly executed
Looks like someone pirated Daily Science Fiction's entire output and posted them here, claiming to have author permission. At least a dozen authors to my knowledge have said they didn't grant permission. If you were published by DFS, you might wanna consider a Cease and Desist.

Memory help? Back in the olden days when Twitter was Twitter, in a forgotten year possibly around 2018, there was a lovely account called something like the shop that wasn't there. Do you have any recollection of it? They stopped posting, and I often wonder if they died. A sort of microfiction.

It's been a long, overall cool (with intermittent warm spells) and rainy spring, so my flowers have had brief glories and much wind/rain battering. I have one more tomato plant to put in, plus lots of seeds (that may or may not come up). The birds' black raspberries will be a bumper crop this year!

Kill All Wizards by Jedediah Berry | Book Moon Books
SWORDS, SORCERY, AND A SPOT OF TEAKill All Wizards is a blood-soaked romp through high society—picture Conan the Barbarian caught up in a comedy of manners, and you're almost prepared for this unmissa...

My novella Kill All Wizards will be set loose in June. It's a little Jane Austen and a whole lotta bloody barbaric vengeance. If you like Conan, The Count of Monte Cristo, highly opinionated narrators, or old-school adventure, then this is the book for you. thirdarchive.net#killallwizards

Reductions in NPS funding have regrettably capped out the maximum transmission power level on the Arch. We are trying to deflect this one and 'skip' it off the weather control field to the northwest. Sorry O'Fallon :(
And there's that vengeance I expected. He TACOed. He was made fun of for it. This is the punishment.

I reached out to my state legislators to tell them I support the IFPA and oppose efforts by the Electronic Payments Coalition to repeal it lol. It's a front for Visa/Mastercard, and they sent a million bucks to Donald Trump for his inauguration, screw them.

HEY! If you’re over 35, do you get up from a full sitting position on the floor every day? You should be! Daily. Pull up on something if you have to, but the goal is unassisted.

Earlier today my Instagram account sent messages on the "meta" messenger app to random people, consisting of a bluesky account that I don't follow and have now blocked. It may have been a link to a post they put up here. I don't know how the people were chosen and I don't know what caused it. Grrrr

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.
