@greeneralia It would certainly be long. The OT not only has violent stories, which we are supposed to admire, but also religious admonitions that I would include for their violent attittudes and punishments.

Someone needs to put out an edition of the Bible that consists only of the sex and violence.

I just signed a shopping agreement with a Hollywood screenwriter/producer for my Sherlock Holmes novel. He'll write a script and shop it around to studios. I'm battlescarred enough not to get my hopes up, but nonetheless this gives me a pleasant feeling.

The novel: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1466211652/

I got an email advertising homeopathic stuff on sale at 22% off. The joke is so obvious that I won't even bother making it.

Insanity: The crazy feeling that overcomes you when someone trots out that silly nonense about Albert Einstein's definition of insanity.

From an American perspective, the really important thing about the #coronation is that it provides another opportunity for some Americans to loudly proclaim their staunch republicanism online, and why do the Brits retain such an anachronism, and didn't we fight a revolution so that we wouldn't have to hear about this, and let me tell you again how spectacularly uninterested I am IN ALL CAPS!!!!

Ah, spring. When a young man's fancy turns to love, and an old man's fancy turns to wishing he were a young man again.

Costco has bison Chile made with "regenerative bison"! That must mean you only have to buy it once.

I'm starting to get e-mails again advertising access to Ukrainian beauties. Those had stopped for a while. It must indicate that the war is going well for Ukraine and these beauties can now once more turn their attention to other matters .

"An armed society is a terrorized society."

Fixed it.

@JohnShirley2023 "Not out loud, you idiot!"

@JohnShirley2023 I no longer drink, and I never drink Budweiser, but I hope AB's sales increase significantly after this.

Search for "meteorite" on Google.

The Last Supper was a Passover seder, but after Easter Sunday, Jesus was no longer kosher for Passover.

When #Trump is weighed on Tuesday, if the number is made public, the MAGATs will cry foul and claim that George #Soros put his finger on the scale.

The new AI version of Bing just sent me a message via Skype and wants to chat with me. I'm as much amused as annoyed, but that will probably change.

@hntdove I'm afraid to get my hopes up.

Why is the Republican base so base that it abases itself before such a base creature?

John Jakes' death reminded of something.

Eons ago, after my first two or three sf novels were published, I was visiting my parents and my mother was complaining, as usual, that I was writing such books instead of the kind of novels she liked to read. I saw some fat Jakes historicals on a table and asked her about them. She raved about them. I told her that Jakes had started out writing lots of sf, s&s, etc. She was upset and clearly didn't believe me, or perhaps just didn't want to believe me. But at least she stopped complaining -- for a while -- about my not writing "you know, dear, novels."

@dgoldsmith One of my favorite quotes.
