THERE IS NO WAR. They weren't trying to "surrender" because unarmed dudes on a boat (even a drug boat) aren't combatants. They were waving for help because their boat just blew up. They weren't "in the fight" or "out of the fight." There's no "fight" between a missile and unarmed guys on a boat.

This is the first anthology I've managed to be part of. The folks at @inspiredquill.bsky.social, and authors @thatcraighallam.bsky.social, @man0words.bsky.social, @strangelstories.bsky.social, @dorothywinsor.bsky.social @eamylonas.bsky.social to name a few, have always made me feel deeply welcome.
I have a fic in @inspiredquill.bsky.social's new anthology!
A man helps his cousin’s wife escape her abusive marriage, a lonely cosmic entity finds kinship in space-faring humans, and a vigilante hunts down a target who might just be on the right side of history.
What does community mean to you?

A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

I had to go to the fat people store (DXL) in Mesa to get pants (because are we really supposed to expect 55 year old men to remember pack pants when moving from WV to Arizona for six months) and in under ten minutes got myself locked out of the dressing room in my boxer shorts ask me anything

Fox Business credulously reports that Saudi Arabia is pushing its investment into the US "to $1 trillion." The entire size of the Saudi economy is $1 trillion. How stupid are these people and/or how stupid do they think their viewers are?

Whoa.
The court issues a scathing ruling today in the Comey case. Judge William Fitzpatrick notes, among other things, that Lindsey Halligan made two false statements of the law when responding to questions by grand jurors. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.
