I’VE BEEN SHOUTING SINCE THE BEGINNING ABOUT THE DIAMOND PRINCESS:  Ugly Truth of COVID-19 Lockdowns.[VIDEO.]

Hey at least we know what happens when an sf writer shouts in her blog and nobody listens.  I.e. people go careening merrily down a crazy path and let themselves be treated like sheep. Stupid sheep.

I spent an entire year incredibly depressed that the world had gone insane and refused to look at facts.  I’m done being depressed. I’m just angry. How long will you tolerate this intolerable governmental intrusion? How long?

FROM PAM UPHOFF:  Doctor Inferno.

Even Superheroes and Super Villains grow old, eventually.

But when a retiree from a nice retirement facility has an encounter with a young scientist of somewhat dubious experimental ethics …who picks William N. Furnace as an unwilling financier of his rejuvenation experiments . . . Doctor Inferno is back!.

And the Department of Superhuman Monitoring and Detention springs into action . . . blaming various odd things on Doctor Inferno . . . when they ought to be looking at other possible causes.

With the help of his old AI (who’s been running without supervision for decade) and couple of kidnapped DSMD agents, a Superhuman who is more Chaotic Good than Evil sets out to save the World, whether it deserves it or not!

A not very serious romp into the Superhero Genre by an established SF/F writer.

WE DON’T HAVE A MONOPOLY OF HUMOR OR CREATIVITY, BUT WE’RE FUNNIER THAN THE OTHER SIDE:   Smile, it confuses the enemy!

I’M SORRY I DIDN’T SEE THIS BEFORE:  My annual Passover post, with Biden in Pharaoh’s role this year.

Seems fitting. A tyrannical ruler, hell bent on destroying our people (in this case Americans, though honestly, he’s not too hot on Jews. The Junta is studded with anti-Semites. And they definitely need to get onto that “let my people go.”  A week ago.

FROM MONALISA FOSTER:  Pretending to Sleep: A Communism Survivor’s Short Story.

Based on actual events, this short story provides a quick glimpse into life under Ceaucescu’s brutal communist regime. Like so many Romanians, ten-year-old Renata lives in fear of Securitate (Ceaucescu’s secret police). They don’t always take you in the middle of the night. In a world where the living envy the dead, not all examples are made in the shadows. Some are made in the light of day.

HAPPY EASTER TO THOSE WHO CELEBRATE AND WHO CELEBRATE TODAY:   Many of us have closed or restricted churches.  And yet, we still worship. without the sanction of the state-cowed-churches.

Alleluia!
