I can understand complaining about "normalizing" what he's suspected of doing or of suggesting overly lenient treatment based on race/gender, but "humanizing" a human being should never be a complaint--it suggests suspects & criminals do not deserve human dignity or treatment.

Ugh. Hate coming back to the book after a couple of days off and realizing "oh yeah, that's why I quit where I did." Time to figure this mess out...

Might as well post that picture of my son when he was a baby. The one where he look like he was born playing darts. In 1957. Looking like he just got some bad news about a tractor trailer his nephew was minding for him. With a face like my dad's when I tell him about my podcast.

Boss made a dollar,
Grandad made a dime.
But that was a poem
From a simpler time.
Boss made a thousand,
Gave my Dad a cent.
But that coin paid the mortgage,
Or at least it paid the rent.
Now bosses make a billion,
And give us workers jack.
Then smugly blame society,
For the labor that they lack.

Calling all indie writers, avid readers and underground authors! Drop your links to your books and gimme 2025 book recommendations. I got a handful in my last post, but now I feel like calling out more into the bluesky algorithm. Once I finish The Alchemist, I'll start up the recs and review!

Omg, why do people think “happy holidays” is a EUPHEMISM for “Christmas?” The point is to be more inclusive, not to *avoid* the word “Christmas.” You’re not actually being more inclusive when you say “hope you had a nice holiday yesterday.”
