Just got word that many of my books pictured here have already sold. So I'm packing together a box of signed books - including some rare hardcovers - that I'll be shipping to DreamHaven gratis. So if you still haven't gotten some of my books, watch this space, and 100% will go to DreamHaven.
Today I’m helping out at my job from 20+ years ago, helping Greg & the DreamHaven crew ship books across the country to folks who inundated their webstore after seeing him on TV.
Website is still down, but later try DreamHavenbooks.com for all your sci-fi, horror, fantasy, film, & comics needs!

The reason Republicans always think people on the left are paid protestors is because they can’t fathom the concept of empathy.

Republicans: everyone must be able to carry any gun at all times,
up to and including high powered rifles, to protect themselves against tyranny
also Republicans, without batting an eye: carrying a gun is unquestionable justification for federal agents to shoot you dead in the street

Better batten down the hatches. Ted Cruz is getting on a plane to Laguna Beach in winter.

Here’s the really bad part: over time, this dynamic breeds bigger and bigger crises.
Markets keep updating their beliefs about TACO, so it takes ever more extreme actions to convince them he might not TACO.
Buckle up.

The TACO cycle:
Markets want to price in TACO. But TACO only works if Trump sees stocks tank.
So we get a loop: Trump does things → nothing happens (markets already priced in TACO) → that emboldens him to do more → until markets start to think he might not TACO → stocks fall → TACO is restored.

Cripes a’mighty people, Steven Miller is not staging a militarized ethnic cleansing and sending the border cops to murder people in the street to distract from the Epstein files. He’s doing it because he and Trump (and Vance and Homan and Noem etc) really really want to.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

Our Solar System is orbiting the center of our Galaxy at about 220 km/s so in 2025 we collectively traveled something like 7 billion kilometers across the Milky Way. Once in a while, when you have a moment, it’s worthwhile to take a look around, see where you are, and appreciate how far you’ve come.

You want to talk about an unimpeachable resume? She's acted for Bava, Corman, Cronenberg, Fellini, Malle, Demme, Dante, and Dan Curtis. She's performed the words of Rod Serling and John Sayles and starred alongside Vincent Price and Boris Karloff. All this while being BARBARA STEELE.

Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin were both the sons of Italian parents. Back in that time, the racist Stephen Millers of the time didn't regard Italians as Anglo-Saxon enough to be welcome as immigrants to the United States.

millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on
but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get
