I have to say, if you would choose who to vote for based on Niki Minaj... that's a choice. Not a good one. She won't be voting (can't) Most of her family either. Can't... I wonder how much they paid her, because it's hard to believe she even cares.

Tomorrow is my birthday. You could buy or read one of my books. You could follow or like or show me your pets... I'm pretty easy. Getting older is not the thrill it once was (lol).

Very sad to see that Walter Koenig died. I met him only once... we were both guests at a convention, and our only interaction was me being... well, me... and following him around until he was infront of a model of the ship and saying "It's the Enterprise Sor... it's a nuclear wessel."

One the one hand, my collection from last year, HICKORY NUTS AND BONES, is getting some good reviews finally. On the other hand, the publisher is out of business, has been an insufferable prick to my agent, and while in breach of contract is still selling the book.

Watched an older movie we missed called Stuber" with Dave Bautista and Kumail Ali Nanjiani and it was hilarious. Silly, and stupid, but hilarious and fun. Read one of the best sci-fi stories I've read in years... report in the future. Submitted a story to an anthology.

I finally posted on my website / blog. Updates about stories, novels, cats... this is a shot of the Ray Bradgury 451 bookends, made from wood from his home when it was emolished (authentication sheet on the shelf) They are also mentioned in this post. #writing #horror #bradbury #publishing

davidniallwilson.comLong Overdue Update - Writing What HurtsI haven’t written anything here for a while, but the recent PHP attacks and all the updates, which, of course, led to a lot of repair on this site, Trish’s site and the Crossroad Press site reminded m...

Are we really to the point of nitpicking a speech because the Cheesecake Factory was mentioned? Okay desserts, food takes FOREVER to arrive. About normal chain quality...but none of that is even relevant to the speech. The interiors are garish, gilt - exactly what is happening to the White House.

Yesterday at Walmart. Trish wearing her "C.S.I. Can't Stand Idiots" shirt. Lady in front of us turns, reads it... says... "I'd like to work for the Seee AYE A too" - turns back to her groceries. Marking ourselves safe from making her read more closely.

Things I have inadvertently stockpiled. Musical Instruments Cats fossils books children (but we cleared them out) cat toys that cats won't play with Computer accessories (some of which are too old to use)

This week ended with me spending ... a lot of hours... fixing a thing that was my fault. I wish I had concentrated more. Regardless of how you (I) feel about the job that is paid for, it deserves 100% concentration and I failed in that. It's not a good week and likely to be a nt wonderful Monday.

It's not even remotely questionable at this point. The president of the United States is an imbecile. He has no dignity, no compassion, and no skill that qualifies him for the job. He is surrounded by people sucking your money, health, and lives away desperately clinging to him and it's pathetic.

The party with Dr. Oz attacking muslims. The party with immigrant wives, illegal immigrant wives, filled with pedophiles and drunks, fueled by millionaires, thinks they will change their fate by bringing up Hunter BIden's laptop again, making up stories and blaming others. Vote them to obvlivion.

The face of trouble. The personification of deviltry. The energizer bunny... only a gray / blue kitten. BLUE is watching you... #caturday LOOK AT THIS KITTEN (lol)

An AI narrated audiobook will never reach the quality of a book narrated by the right voice talent. The AI can't read through a paragraph, see something that causes the reaction the author wanted, and react to it, it will just make a voice say the words.

Also, and I am nearly certain this is true... if you have a book, and indie book in particular, and it's not selling well, and you use AI to narrate and translate it I'm going out on a limb to say you aren't going to sell any more than you were before the translation or narration.

This entire day (and night) have been a complete fustercluck. No details, but still doing day job work and it's twenty minutes to midnight. A mistake I made was not good. The root cause was worse, but my mistake will be all that is reacted to. Want to write... maybe.

I also used to be proud of how medical science was curing things (while at the same time disgusted by the greed holding back those cures) but now we still have what disgusted me and we have a guy in charge who had brainworms, was addicted to heroin and thinks chem trails are real.

I can't get into the "Things that got better in your lifetime" meme because most of the important things then got worse again... I know there are amazing things that got better. Science, Medicine, but my mind is stuck right now on what we've lost and are losing.

For one thing I used to be proud of my time serving in the US Military, but to see what that warmongering dudebro has done to the Pentagon makes me sick to my stomach.

I see that just about everyone is agreeing with me. Red flags for me - pay to play / AIaiaiaiaiai / and a note about how they want to encourage free speech and discourse, which, of course, means Nazis can speak freely if they cough up their $20.

Sorry Fielding Bible Award judges, but you have to be kidding in CF. Seriously, and no, it changes nothing that you gave PCA player of the year because the fact is, he was THE defensive player of the year, and it wasn't close enough not to give him the CF award. Please be serious.

I wrote a novella this year that will come out eventually. I saw today that Anthropic warned that self-replicating AI's could proliferate. Here's the thing. I wrote this last year. They call it "A Swarm" - the alternate title of my novella Non-0 was... SWARM. #heardherefirst.

While I am begging everyone to CHECK YOUR BALLOT and be sure you didn't make an error, or that nothing has changed, I'm finding this more disruptive than helpful. It's also playing right into GOP hands if everyone starts claiming machines are faulty. Not saying it's not true, just saying be careful.

People acting surprised finding out the DNC does not spend the money from their very sad text campaigns and email campaigns - you know - on the campaign, but the consultants like that prick Carville keep it.

The only good thing about Musk investing big in Skydance is that he will almost certainly do something creepy, vile, or outright stupid and crash their stock value.
