Troyce - Imprison Trump

Oh damn. I met him man years ago at the infamous "KrogerCon" in Houston. He was a very nice man, who didn't get all the credit he deserved for his acting. His Bester in Bab5 is a wonderful performance. A rarity: a villain with a sense of humor.

Sorry to hear the ruckus that T Kingfisher's BG novel doesn't fit fan's various head canons. People shouldn't think everything should fit their head canon. I, on the other hand, get angry when producers don't follow their OWN canon previously formulated.

Hitler rarely visited the Eagles Nest. He didn't like it. He stayed at the Berghof lower down on the mountain. Allies bombed it, and SS set it on fire in retreat. Then razed to the ground. I say same with this. Raze it to the ground and only put up an interpretive sign. And a Synagogue :)

31 years ago this evening I was wearing a 19 th century shell jacket, riding boots, and saber to marry the woman I’m still in love with. 40 years ago we started dating. Brought together by the Dark Side of the Force at Worldcon.

We're home at last. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUJ5...

American just cancelled our 7 pm flight. Now we’re on for 6 f*cking am tomorrow. I hope American Airlines goes bankrupt!

American Airlines cancelled our early afternoon flight early this morning, and later cancelled that for an evening flight. If we make our DFW connection we get home close to midnight rather than 5 pm. Thanks for nothing, American.

Library in Washington state has commissioned paintings of authors and their books for exhibition and a fund raiser. Including everyone’s favorite Secunit. www.waitsburgtimes.com/story/2026/1...

College Football Hall of Fame must be big on Murderbot ;)

Elon Misk thinks he’s a genius inventor. There needs to be a series of juvenile novels about him called “Tom Swift and His Amazing Grift.”

I've had several I liked, but one that comes to mind is when I wore a full Darth Vader outfit with a stick-on nametag that said "Hi, I'm Bill from Microsoft."

In today's AI slop grifting, Martha got an email from a senior editor at Macmillan, interested in her short story that Tor bought for their webpage. Tor, a division of Macmillan. Add "not understanding corporate conglomerates" to their list of ignorance. And people trust AI for health questions?

In the Jim Caviezel movie "Frequency," he talks to his dead father (Dennis Quaid) in the past, using the same radio his father used in the past. They use it like a transceiver. It's a Heathkit SB-301, which is a receiver only. It can't transmit.

A wonderful tribute to 90 years of the great Brian Blessed. www.theguardian.com/stage/2026/o...

Very interesting video Anson Mount shared on Facebook. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CO6...

The best ethics reform possible is Donald Trump in prison for the rest of his life. Maybe you could share a cell?

Dear Sam, please accept some of the bad stuff, like your incarceration for life in a super max, in return for the good stuff it provides, like society without your influence. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

Happy Birthday, @princejvstin.com. This day is for you, JUST you, so revel in it.

Trump has announced his new plan for the Kenned Center:

If you see this, post a vampire that isn't Dracula. (seen without and then with makeup).

Well the states attorneys general has sold us out and have come to an agreement to allow Paramount/CBS/whatever else to merge with Warner Bros. Somewhere Teddy Roosevelt is spinning in his grave.

I go on record as an "AI Denier." It doesn't exist. What they are calling AI now bears no relation to the AI being worked on by pioneers like Marvin Minsky and John McCarthy at MIT and Stanford. It's all predictive text, built upon work they have stolen from authors.

@caitcoker.bsky.social BTW, talked with your boss last weekend. Said I couldn't believe she hadn't gotten rid of you yet. She replied "Cait keeps winning awards."

Warning for fellow Texans

One meets the weirdest people on Throng.

Still not an accurate representation for size of all places. Here's a better one:

Latest rumor is that Kevin Kline is currently undergoing makeup tests to play Mitch McConnell.

Your wife’s tv show just won a Hugo, what are you doing next?

Our Murderbot family at the Hugos.

Murderbot won best tv episode!!!

Post your getaway vehicle.

Listening to the Disneyland fireworks from our room. Can’t see any of it. We only have a view of the end of California Adventure and Knotts Berry Farm on the horizon.

Martha wells and Kate Elliot being interviewed by their editor Lee Harris at B&N in Huntington Beach.

Got invited to have breakfast in Martha Wells’ room!

If Trump wants to rename Lake Ontario to Lake America, then American Airlines needs to rebrand as Ontario Airlines.

Happy Birthday to Murderbot himself. It's Alexander Skarsgard's birthday today, one day after mine, though I'm a bit older. Hippy Birdday, Alex. ART's surgical alterations have taken at least 10 years off ;)

Finally saw first ep of Lanterns. So far I hate it immensely. I've had it with dark, damaged, asshole superheroes. Same reason I hate Alan Moore's stuff. Maybe they'll start running the old 60's Sat Morning cartoon version. THAT was Green Lantern.

The wife returns from Bubonicon at Midnight tonight. Still need to get the biker gang to leave (which they will once the van arrives to take the strippers home) and have the hazmat service start working on the place.

Reading the original article in Nature tells me that in spite of having a PhD that made him Dean of Science, he neglected to receive a full university education. If he can't write well enough to convey his own thoughts correctly, he's an uneducated person. He should ask for a refund.
