HAS EVERYONE LOST THEIR MIND?

Has the entire world taken crazy pills?
Are the “progressives” just saying whatever shit crosses their minds, and counting on the Amen chorus to nod along, even though it makes no sense in human language ever?

I mean, I remember when “progressives” while still disingenuous and unable to carry an economic argument in a bucket, could make superficial sense or at least appeal to the emotions of those who didn’t think things through.

Take Obama’s song and dance about how our constitution only g...

Plan G? From Outer Space

I never wanted to live in interesting times. Of course, being born inn the sixties was definitionally a bad idea for this, and I’d like to know what I was thinking, except I don’t really believe in pre-birth existence, and this only confirms it. Because holy heck guys, I’ve done some pretty stupid things in my life, but choosing that time for my life would have been next level stupid.

The problem with this fargin mess we find ourselves in is that there is no “good” way out, only a less ba...

Schedule Will Be A Little Weird

The posting here will be a little weird for a few days. Yeah, I know it’s been weird for a week and a bit, because sleep disruption is weird, but it’s going to get weirder than that.

For the next three days I’m going to be teaching a 4 hour course on writing alternate history (today) and one two-day course on writing short stories.

The problem is I’m still finalizing slides and hand outs, mostly because of that disruption thing. Also my body seems to have decided this is a wonderful time ...

Awake

She was going down a magic path, and then at the end there was a spindle, and she’d pricked her thumb. She remembered dad reading about it, when she was very small and sat on his lap.

No. She’d never touched a spindle in her life. She’d been in the car, driving with mom to take things to her college dorm–

No. She was in the museum, and she was 10 years old, and they were talking about how people used to make thread and showing how to use a spindle.

No. She was on a magic path going ...

Stormy Weather

I’ve been gaming stuff in my head, mostly in the middle of the night, when I can’t sleep. (Though I wish to brag that last night I managed FIVE hours! Whoo! [Struts])

It’s actually not unusual for me to game out stuff in my head, though usually not at the national level. More at the field/industry/individual level. Sometimes for books, sure, but more often for real life.

There are several things you have to remember when gaming out any situation in your head, particularly one as comple...

The Blue Smokescreen

The left couldn’t afford a mirage. They thought we’d have one, but they couldn’t afford one, and they were jealous.

So everything you’re seeing is JUST a blue smokescreen.

It’s not very good. perhaps Hollywood circa 1930. But they are loud and ubiquitous and we are tired and scared of the danger we see the Republic is in. And none of us want socialism, or communism, because we’re not stupid, and we know history.

But the thing is, as someone told me in 2004, the louder and more triump...

Let The Joker Go Wild

Okay, we’re in a pickle.

We are in risk of losing the republic. And if we lose it it’s going to be very hard to claw our way back. It could take centuries. So I’m going to suggest we don’t lose it. I’m going to suggest we refuse to stop being Americans. In fact, I’m suggesting we become so American they can’t hold us, and have to vomit us forth whole.

They want us? They don’t know what they want. They want to be our rulers? Do you know that the US is the only country in which preside...

Let’s Stop Pretending Any of This IS Normal

All through the lead up to the election, everyone told me if we have a big enough margin, their fraud will be obvious, and then it will be stopped.

We’re here now. WHY IS ANYONE PRETENDING THIS IS NORMAL?

The fraud is OBVIOUS. Really obvious. I’ll be honest, it’s been really obvious for decades, but it’s now in plain view of everyone.

But because the left disseminated that WE’d say there was fraud, the f*king stupid duckies are buying it and falling in line.

I’ll be honest, if ...

And All The Devils Are Here

Hell is empty. And all the devils are here.

I’ve sensed this coming for months. I could see it/feel it. I didn’t know how to explain what was making me scared, but I could sense it.

We laughed at the empty Biden rallies and gloried in the enthusiasm for Trump, but it should have sounded the alarm.

The Dems were running someone who was barely sentient, and it wasn’t a problem. They barely ran a campaign, and it wasn’t a problem. They were still talking of a blue wave, and of winning....
