Let the Netflix / Amazon / HBO bidding war commence!

Movie idea: An adaptation of Little Women where the sisters can merge into a giant robot form called MegaMarch and battle subterranean monsters, alien invaders, and rigid Victorian Era gender roles. At the end, they rescue Abraham Lincoln from a giant spider, winning the Civil War.

Today's Breath and Bone quote: "I shrieked warning, more a falcon's cry than a crow's, but Helthew rolled aside and seized the spear embedded in the turf, came up hand over hand, leaning, hanging from it, kicked hard and sent the robber reeling back ..."

The Wolf and the Wild King is a fantastic novel. Reviewed it here: www.goodreads.com/review/show/...

In unrelated news, the sequel to The Wolf and the Wild King (The Forest duology) will be coming out next year, possibly June although the exact date isn't set yet. The Wolf is high fantasy perfect for the dark decline of the year. Read it to be ready! www.kvj.ca/wolf.html

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

Oh dear. What a pity. Never mind…

Flávio Bolsonaro had his passport confiscated by the Brazilian fed police as his brother Eduardo told him to flee to the US. He is tied to paramilitary gangs, is being investigated & lost his legislative immunity when he left the Senate to run for president. paydayreport.com/brazilian-fe...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Food for thought.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

So, January then.

🚨 BREAKING: Lula is projected to WIN reelection as president of Brazil, defeating Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro and an ally of Donald Trump. The projection comes just ONE DAY after Reuters exposed a Trump administration effort to help return the Bolsonaro family to power.

I'll never use AI to 'improve' my writing because I'm better than a sodomized blender being jerry-rigged with asshole vibe coding to try to replicate dogshit. AI can't 'refine' my writing because it's already better than anything it can produce. I HATE myself and my writing and I still know that.

With the shocking new—uncontested—revelation that just-deceased MAGA Senator Lindsey Graham was a pedophile, it's essential that journalists ask his sister when she learned that. Unless she gives an extremely exculpatory answer, I don't see how she can be a United States Senator.

@michaeldweiss.bsky.social unloads on JD Vance for defending Steve Witkoff's praise of Vladimir Putin as a “humanitarian.” "All it is doing is rewarding these criminal and murderous kleptocrats in a country that we have been in fitful states of both cold and now increasingly hot war."
