It’s been a long time coming. My first noir novel is available now from Amazon. And I first want to say—thank you for all the support I have gotten from everyone in bringing it to life. Now… there might need to be some changes around here.

@mcgillmd921 Sulla is a heel, Caesar is a false hero, it must be Cincinnatus FOR THE REPUBLIC!

Who is your favorite Roman dictator?

@plzcallmechrist @christopherrufo That’s preposterous. Some of us also watched V For Vendetta.

The only books that anyone on X has read is Blood Meridian, Starship Troopers, Dune and Lord of the Rings. And the latter three, people just watched the movies.

@KingLibertarian The alternate is still worse.

I voted once, got Trump, would not recommend.

@AuronMacintyre I am a writer of right-wing fiction. I will let others decide if it is “art.” But I always like to get my novel out there: a.co/d/8bETC22

Enjoying rightwing art

@BobMurphyEcon @disclosetv It turns out he doesn’t need billions even if he does write it out.

@disclosetv if you write out all the 0s you don’t need “billions”

NOW - Hegseth confirms the Pentagon is seeking about $200,000,000,000 billion for the Iran War: "It takes money to kill bad guys."

@MacKenzieOfLlyr Can’t it be both?

Every post Yara makes only adds to the growing set of data illustrating how uneducated she really is - or at least how uneducated she thinks you are.

@HomericFuturist Trust is a strong word here. One should never explicitly trust any talking head or government official. I suggest an inverse poll. “Who do you distrust more?”

Who do you trust:

Which one of these numbers is adjusted for inflation and which one isn't, and do you want a guy who can't tell the difference at the helm?

@BrainLeakage03 @HomericFuturist

@HomericFuturist Gotta admire their commitment to the classics.

“If you don’t support regime change wars in the Middle East you are a leftist”

@LizzyStarrrdust @redflameliberty Why does it not start until 8am? This should be an all day event.

I officially declare March 18th "Lemon pound cake freedom Day!" In honor of the Afroman freedom of speech case win.

This is just Colorado now chief, no bail requirements for violent criminals. Just PR bonds and criminalized self defense. Get used to it and keep voting for DSA looters.

If you were introduced to Tom Bombadil as a character through the 1979 The Mind’s Eye radio play featuring Bernard Mayes as Tom Bombadil, you may not see it this way. I always thought of him as strange and chaotic but beautifully whimsical. He may confounding to some but I consider him proof that power is not itself corrupting, and despite the gravity of the moment, the world of Middle Earth has stranger things to offer than even Sauron’s consuming ambition.

Tom Bombadil stops the story cold. We are in an exciting cross-country trip as the hobbits pick their way through a creepy haunted forest to avoid the sinister Black Riders. A terrifying black huorn ensnares them. Poof! Here comes Tom deus-ex-machina Bombadil to save the hobbits from a threat which Tolkien seems to have created to give him an excuse to insert Bombadil. Then, just as the story starts to move again, Tom shows up a SECOND time as a deus-ex-machina to rescue the hobbits from the barrow wight. Ugh. Again stopping the story cold. What is Bombadil's function? He doesn't represent the Old Good Ways which the fellowship must save. Bombadil isn't threatened - he's a cheesy distraction. I'm not saying it's impossible to convince me that Bombadil is a Good Thing, but such a convincing would be an uphill battle, and I view Tom as one of Tolkien's missteps. I am happy Jackson left him out of the film, because it would have stopped the movie's flow too.

Social Security is the most fraudulent scheme ever to be foisted upon the American people. Only 90% of the $29.7 trillion collected has been ever been paid out. However that $29.7 trillion could have generated returns of over $100 trillion in the investment market, just sitting in broad market index funds. Hell, even in treasuries it could have doubled. You have been scammed.

Spike is wrong about the judge. In a similar way that it would be wrong to say that the Stamp Act of 1765 was a bad thing. Both decisions led to this:

@jd_sauvage @BrainLeakage03 Never before have I so thoroughly regretted my actions immediately. But since we are going there: If we are being honest, there were always signs…

@onebearactual @BrainLeakage03 Woah, 1920s tentacle-grape monsters!

@BrainLeakage03 @jd_sauvage This implies that there is some seriously well written smut out there that no one realizes once paid the rent of H.P. Lovecraft.

@jd_sauvage A large number of authors made ends meet by writing smut paperbacks BITD.

@BrainLeakage03 ChatGPT was born for this.

Step 1: Begin hating yourself.

Spoiling will continue until the Libertarian Party improves.

@travis4nh If I may ask the critical question here: Where are you submitting libertarian science fiction for said awards? Congratulations on those, by the by.

I am a David Friedman / Nozick style anarchocapitalist, have won awards for my libertarian science fiction novels (twice), and serve in the NH Statehouse. ...and I'm arguably only the 25th or so most libertarian person in that body. Does that answer your question?
