Fauci and all of his accomplices must die. Or at least pay a major penalty with the rest of their lives in prison.
And nuke Wuhan until it’s as flat as a pancake and play football on it with Chairman Xi’s head.
Fuck ’em all.

I said, “Prof, you know me. If kicking out Authority was thing we could buy, I wouldn’t worry about price.”
“‘–our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.'”
“Huh?”
“A price that was once paid.”
“Well — I’d go that high.”



I’m the Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules A Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone!: Volume 4
by Nathan C. Brindle
Book 4 of 4: I’m The Beautiful But Evil Space Princess Who Rules A Galactic Empire But Really Wants To Leave People Ruthlessly Alone!
Imperial Princess Regnant Alice and her fiancé, Crown Prince Daniel of Xeros, and the plucky crew of the Imperial Space Yacht Aurora, with the assistance of the Goddess Eireala, have traveled tens of millions of light-years from the Milky Way Galaxy to mend a rift in space.
Once that’s fixed, they’ll head home – and Alice and Daniel will finally be wed!
But nothing ever goes according to plan . . . not even an Imperial wedding.
You’re all invited to the nuptials, regardless . . .
The fourth volume of the BBESP light novel!

Fuck the People’s Republic of China and the Chinese Communist Party. Fuck them in the ass. Sideways. With a cattle prod.
That is all.
I don’t give a shit what the US government thinks Memorial Day should be.

Justice Alito sets the Voting Rights Act back on track:
Justice Alito Cleans the Augean Stable of Faux Voting Rights Precedents
The Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Louisiana v. Callais may dramatically alter congressional districts in Southern states. Writing for a 6-3 majority, Justice Samuel Alito unraveled decades of confusing and misguided caselaw construing the 1965 Voting Rights Act (VRA) to hold that states may not engage in racial gerrymandering—or be forced to do so by federal courts—when drawing congressional districts. The Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause forbids race-based discrimination, Alito pointedly declared, preventing Section 2 of the VRA from being interpreted to require the creation of “majority-black” districts to comply with the VRA.
Go and read; it’s fairly in-depth and explains clearly why it’s not disenfranchising minorities, and in fact is correcting vast overreach that’s been part and parcel of American electoral politics since the 1960’s.
Now if we could just get this article into the hands of the Indiana Senate, maybe they’d recognize that there is no statutory requirement to guarantee André Carson a seat in Congress in perpetuity. Certainly there’s no moral requirement to guarantee him a seat anywhere, except perhaps in Hell.
Sarah Hoyt’s weekly promo post is up a couple of days late due to her illness at ConFinement.
Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike
I have a book in there, but so does Joe Huffer, whom you may know better as Hoosierboy over at https://hoosierboy.blogspot.com/. And there’s plenty of other stuff in there to take a gander at, so, do!

Yep, the Grand Dame of Indie Science Fiction and Fantasy runs a promo for (mostly) indie authors at her blog on Sundays. There are always some good reads there, plus my books. What? Yeah fine. My books are good reads, too. And I do have a book in the promo this week. Which book? Go look!
According to Hoyt (main page)
Book Promo And Vignettes By Luke, Mary Catelli and ‘Nother Mike (direct link to the promo for 22 Feb 2026)
There’s also (as implied in the post title) a little vignette challenge that’s fun, and which has itself inflicted, I mean, engendered the writing of whole stories and books by people.
Now, there are a couple of reasons I’m pushing this, here. One is, it’s a good promo and there are usually a bunch of interesting books — and they’re not all SF&F, either. You’ll find Westerns and Regencies and other genres represented, too.
The second reason is, Joe Hoosier, you need to read the first paragraph of that post and submit your book. The one you already have. And then you need to submit the second one when you publish it, too. Because people do read the promo, and they buy the books on it. (Tell her Fuzzy Curmudgeon sent you. She’ll know.)
Note very carefully her disclaimer: “*Note that I haven’t read most of these books (my reading is eclectic and “craving led”,) and apply the usual cautions to buying. I reserve the right not to run any submission, if cover, blurb or anything else made me decide not to, at my sole discretion. -SAH” So even if she hasn’t read your book, she’ll likely be willing to put it in the promo. Just try to have it submitted no later than Wednesday of the week you’d like to see it the following Sunday, though in my experience, even Friday isn’t too late.
And the submission format is simple; send an email to the noted address, and just give her the Amazon URL for the ebook version. I usually copy and paste the book’s title, my author name, and the book’s blurb under it. But she really needs just the URL.
So what are you waiting for?
