IT’S BEEN A ROUGH WEEK. IF YOU DIDN’T SEE THE MEMES EARLIER TODAY, TRY THEM NOW:  Meming The Apocalypse.

SOME PEOPLE WANT TO SEE THE WORLD BURN. SOME WANT TO ROAST MARSHMALLOWS ON IT:  Meming The Apocalypse.

My humble role appears to be to bring memes to the marshmallow roasters.

WELL, YES, OF COURSE I’M GOING TO MENTION MY BOOK. IT’S LESS THAN A WEEK SINCE IT CAME OUT: And the second volume is typeset for uploading tomorrow. And the third should be on my desk copyedited Monday.  Alas, the next long story in world will be… six months. It’s just started.  (I can probably do a short story next month, though.)

Anyway, the book is No Man’s Land.

And if you scan the code below, it will take you to pages with sample chapters. (Yes, I know, white on blue is weird. We’ll be changing that. Sorry. Between mom dying and… this week. Things have been weird all over.)

ARTISTS, IT’S TIME TO BE WORTHY OF YOUR CREATIONS:  Today’s Storytellers Vs. Heroes And Heroism.

CHARLIE, UNLIKE LEFTISTS, WAS CAPABLE OF LAUGHING AT HIMSELF:  No, South Park, You Didn’t Need to Yank the Charlie Kirk Episode.

IS BANAL. VERY BANAL:  The left’s face of evil.

I’LL BELIEVE THEY’RE FIGHTING NAZIS WHEN THEY ACT LIKE IT (AND HAVE A TIME MACHINE. IGNORANT SLOBS):   Fighting Nazis, a Zesty Form of Community Theater.

YES, YES WE DO:  We Remember. In September.

CLOG DANCING ON THE POWDER KEG:  The Psychopath Ratio.  My big-picture take on the assassination of Charlie Kirk.

DESPITE THE LEFT’S GASLIGHT ATTEMPTS:  Charlie Kirk Assassination Suspect was ‘Pretty Far Left on Everything’.

AT THIS TIME, IN THIS PLACE, THIS IS DANGEROUS CHUM TO THROW ON THE WATERS:  Illegal Alien Charged with Capital Murder in Gruesome Beheading of Texas Motel Manager.

THIS IS WHAT COURAGE LOOKS LIKE:  Erika Kirk, Charlie Kirk’s Widow: ‘This Movement Will Not Die. I Refuse to Let It Happen’.

NO. IT MOST CERTAINLY TEACHES THEM NOT TO THINK:  America’s educational system is failing because it no longer teaches students how to think.

THIS:  RIP Charlie Kirk: This Is What Is Bound to Happen When You Constantly Refer to Your Adversaries as “Fascists” and as “Threats to Democracy”.

NOW MORE THAN EVER:  Do Not Go Silent!

WHAT SHE SAID:  Everybody Knows.

I DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT THIS:  The Artwork That Spawned 9/11 Conspiracy Theories and Mystery.

I’M GOING TO BACK HIS MARKER:  I’m putting a marker down: I think we are going to have a whirlwind of “purges” of a completely non-violent nature for the next couple weeks to a few months. At the end of that a lot of evil-presenting people will have theoretically been taught a serious lesson (assuming they are capable of learning). And things will function better because the sabots have been removed from the machinery of society.

IT’S THE GRIFT THAT KEEPS ON GRIFTING:  Covid: the permanent pandemic.

GOOD ON THE BLOCKING. ON THE MOON… CAN NASA BE REFORMED?  NASA blocks Chinese nationals from space programs amid rising US-China rivalry.  The US and China are locked in a new space race to send astronauts to the moon. 

JUST LIKE THE REST OF US:  Speechless.

FOR THE TIMES, THEY ARE ACHANGING:  Conservatives pushed back against using “cancel culture” tactics for *years.* Overnight, that has flipped 180 degrees. We’re not talking about big public figures, either. Just normies on social media. I can’t emphasize how big a vibe shift this is. It’s seismic.

And for all the x-less (wondering if life has passed you by…)

IT’S THE TIMES – WHAT DID YOU EXPECT? THEY THINK IT’S THEY’RE WORLD AND WE’RE JUST CLUTTERING IT UP:  The NYT’s Obituary for Charlie Kirk Is an Absolute Disgrace.

YOU GET MORE OF WHAT YOU SUBSIDIZE:  The Archbishop of York misunderstands a recent child poverty report.

WE CAN ONLY DO WHAT WE CAN DO:  I’ve received a lot of messages from well-meaning friends about our personal security. And we have reasonable measures (cameras, guns, etc), but I want to say this, mostly geared towards friends who work in this business.

And for the Xless.
