Once again, it's time to pimp my wares. This is a lovely review from Amazon.

This novel was written before the advent of Ozempic and similar drugs, but it's still pretty relevant.

It won two awards, an IRDC for best humor and the Benjamin Franklin award for humor from IPBA!

LOVED this book. It was funny, sweet, scary and absolutely charming. It dealt with the horror of fat phobia and discrimination sensitively and directly. Read it - you too will love it.

NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—MSNBC executives were in crisis mode on Tuesday amid reports that their morning program, “Morning Joe,” had lost its last five viewers.

News that the program’s co-hosts had paid homage to Donald J. Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Friday was the “last straw” for the fewer than a half dozen stalwarts who were still watching the show, the executives confirmed.

“We've reached out to those five people, &n they’re not coming back,” one executive confirmed. “There are now more people sitting around Joe's roundtable than watching at home.”

MSNBC is reportedly mulling a number of moves to salvage the program, including rebranding it as “Trump & Friends.” #satire #humor #USPol #press


I'm sure some people feel this way about tea, but let's be honest: Tea is garbage water.

coffee is a cup of hope in a world full of chaos and mondays


Writing advice from #KurtVonnegut:

"Rules only take us so far, even good rules."

That said, "let the bear have your coffee" is one to always follow.

I know I’m not alone in missing longer-form, thoughtful writing from thoughtful people.

To that end I’m interested in exploring some blogs and newsletters. Who are y’all reading that you’d recommend?

#politics, #humor, #culture, I’m open to a lot. :boost_ok:

#introduction

Primarily I write #ScienceFiction and #humor, but I've also written darkly comic stuff, fabulist satire, and some literary fiction. Once I blogged squibs, screeds and other drivel (some pure & some quite tainted with meaning.)

My cats keep me sane(ish).

If you want to understand my rich inner life, I recommend this #book: Alpha Max.

Occasionally pimp some of the others.

It occurs to me that many of my fellow tootsies may enjoy my 2012 novel, The Fridgularity. It's about a web-enabled fridge taking over the internet and all other digital technology. It's a dozen years old, but I think it holds up pretty well.

Or you can get it for free if you sign up for my highly irregular newsletter. I mean that in two ways.

Musical #satire: " Oct 1, 2024
Parody Project's very first post, from 2017. It is somewhat disturbing that six years later it is still completely relevant and accurate, with the possible exception that Fox isn't quite as enthusiastic about him after their multi-million dollar fine. One would have hoped that by now it would be obsolete. Art Garfunkel played by Don Caron; Paul Simon played by Linda Gower."

I don't write horror, but there is a strong #Halloween vibe in this novel, which won an IRDC award for best humor in 2013.

The Fridgularity us about an AI becoming self aware, taking over all digital technology, and only wanting to talk to one dude (a frustrated web designer) through his web enabled fridge.

(Yes, that's a raven on top of the fridge.)
