@Devon_Eriksen_ I would be encouraged to hear that you're writing. I am hoping that Warnoc's next adventure is published in my lifetime. Hope in one hand and defecate .... see which one fills up first. @AnEriksenWife

Devon Eriksen@Devon_Eriksen_·
Should I write a science fiction short story about a state that stops executing rapists, and starts executing their victims instead? Or would that seem like a far-fetched soapbox of a story, an unbelievable strawman constructed by an overly-online racist author crashing out from internet self-radicalization? In Dune Messiah, Frank Herbert makes a trenchant observation: If a man spends his whole life becoming something, he will choose death rather than allow himself to become its opposite. In the West, we have certain percentages of every post WW2 generation who have spent their entire lives imagining themselves as "citizens of the world", or "citizens of the human race", believing that all distinctions between races, cultures, religions, and value systems were simply relics of a barbaric past, and that all peoples of the world could be thrown into one big happy melting pot. Confronted with evidence that this is not so, over and over again, they have two choices: to become the opposite of everything they strove to be, or to kill the innocent. For them, this is not a difficult choice.

@richneumeister Envious, I had the Origins book, signed by Stan Lee. Lost it in a "sudden relocation" incident in suburban Chicago. Enjoy your good fortune.

Went to the storage place last week got these. As I go to do 'stuff' there I ask myself WTF am I going to do with the shit I've collected! The book on top left I bought in 1974.

@LKHamilton I must be traveling near the speed of light as the time dilation between books in the series is hard to bare....

I just finished rereading Slay and immediately wanted to read the next part of the series, then realized I have to write it first. 😁 Good thing I was reading the book in prep to do exactly that.

Morgan James brings her sultry R&B vocals to the Dakota on Tuesday, March 24. A must-see for fans of Nina Simone, Postmodern Jukebox, Pink Martini, and Aretha Franklin. Like or share for a chance to win a pair of tickets! #ad #twincities bit.ly/4ct2AKP

I need a movie recommendation. Something I've never seen. It needs to be gritty and 70s. Something action or thriller. Something like The Taking of Pelham 123 but not that.

What are the best "nothing novels"? Novels that are seemingly about nothing in particular.

I need (want!) THIRTEEN more SUB S T A C K subscribers to hit 100, and from there I hear the growth happens exponentially. Or something mathy.
