@kevinhearne I loved Ink and Sigil. I’ve read all of your work, though there a couple of short stories I have not yet gotten to.
@kevinhearne I’m struggling with how someone messes up a milkshake. I’m guessing it has something to do with logistics, mass transport, etc. but seriously.
@kevinhearne I’ve been re-reading (listening to) the Iron Druid Chronicles (finishing up Tricked now). I just wanted to say how much I’ve enjoyed this second round. It’s been such a joy to explore the growth and development of Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile. I love how I can see hints of their future for the characters. Thanks for sharing you thoughts, dreams, ideas, and humor.

Trump rejected lawyers’ efforts to avoid classified documents indictment

The former president was not interested in attempting to negotiate a settlement in the classified documents investigation, three people briefed on the matter said.

The Washington Post

Ugh. Wtf is this nonsense.

The norm is against politicized prosecution; not against prosecution of politicians.

Not only do many countries prosecute politicians, including former presidents, but the *United States* does too, incl of congressmen or former presidents from the other party

With Gaetz, it’s not so much the toy aisle as the Junior Girls clothes department.

@willrbishop unless you want specific features, the tech is so mature that I doubt the components are that different. I like inexpensive ones that have battery backup. I think I’ve bought 2 basic clocks in the last 30 years.

I do like the kind that shine the time on the ceiling. I got one of those and it has done well. I had to retire it for different reasons. But it worked and never broke.

Context: from an article explaining that this woman — who objected to a poem read at Biden’s inauguration being available in the school library - also “accidentally” posted stuff about the Protocols of the Elders of Zion.

The Florida mom who sought to ban Amanda Gorman’s poem says she’s sorry for promoting the Protocols of the Elders of Zion

The activist apologized to JTA and to “the Jewish community” for sharing the antisemitic forgery on her Facebook page.

Sorry to hear of the passing of U.S. District Court Judge Ronald S.W. Lew. I had the privilege of externing for him back in ‘92. A fine man. He was also responsible for a memorable experience I’ve written about.

The Popehat Report

Jordan Neely’s homicide reminded be of this 2012 post so I fished it out of the Internet Archive. It grieves me how much the discussion of how we justify brutality still applies.
