Crazy thought: picking fights with Black people is not the best use of any day.

Several strong reasons to grab it right there. Pre-ordered it. Congrats on your first self-published work!

Great scene! I really like your voice.

Just to let you know, I snagged on the "wound in reality" part. Maybe because I'm dumb, but I didn't immediately parse it as "wound in reality itself" or "wound in the fabric of reality".

Ah, a heartwarming story about immigrants coming to America and building a new life.

That's a lot of energy for one man! Really great video though.

Following your progress with both interest and self-interest (I'm creating a Pirate Borg adventure myself). Fair winds to ye!

In one of the novels, Sherlock Holmes tries poison on a dog. 😞

I feel there were better excuses in 2019?
January 12, 2026 at 10:54 PM
Yeah. There's a reason I'm a writer and not a TV personality.

Oh so there ARE people who liked it?

Always trust your gut, except when it's lying to you.

You're literally the only person making this claim.

Prove it.
January 11, 2026 at 9:54 AM
No.

Did you think the claim was that emerald mines don't exist, period?
January 11, 2026 at 9:51 AM
That was never even the claim. The claim was an emerald mine in Zambia.

A negative cannot be proven.

The burden of proof is on you.
January 11, 2026 at 9:01 AM
I just informed you.

The evidence would be the notable lack of evidence FOR its existence. Or maybe you can point it out for me?

We had that when I was little. (No, I'm not *that* old!)

A big bus with books that you could borrow. Even came out to the countryside and drove up on our driveway and everything.

That'd be the right way then.

1) It's a digital mockup.

2) No animal is killed for leather. It's a byproduct.

Have a good day!

Well, you are fortunate, that's the easiest thing to implement.

Hate Elon all you want but there was no emerald mine.
