Hi, Charlie. Join in on the singing! 😀

Yup. I still want to write one, as one of the very few things left on my bucket list, but I'll do it for that reason rather than for income - if I ever get a round tuit. 😉

More like over 10 million. That's more (often much more) than most people make in a lifetime. It's more than anyone, and I mean ANYONE, needs to make in a single year. They can contribute the rest to society.

I wouldn't do that, just as I don't mention it to cashiers and teachers and lots of folks who do essential and wonderful things and get paid for crap because of the things our society values.

I wanted to be careful to at least try to not offend. Many folks get touchy when discussing income.

Not to brag or be rude, but I made more than all but the top tier novelists by being a technical writer who can also program. That is a weirdly rare thing, as it happens.

Are you one to read on a longish layover or do you like to strike up a conversation with someone? Or something else entirely?

And we'll lose a generation recovering from the damage he's done. We'll never recover our standing in the world. China will own the 21st century.

Pro-life is and always has been anti-woman. It's not about saving children. It's about keeping the boot of the patriarchy on the necks of women.

Excellent. 🙂

Atheists can be just as moral as religious people, and I find the opposite assertion to be offensive.

The GOP: Digging a new bottom every fucking day.

Conservative ideology is one of the most horrible things to ever infest the human spirit.

I bet the Ds do vote for that 50 billion. They excel at caving. We have one party that is destroying the country while the other party wrings their hands and talks about compromise with the traitors.

"acting like?" They are in a cult.

That's so you. 😉

Yup. He was a brilliant and, more importantly, good person.

As always.

It starts with N and ends with UKE, and it ain't a ukulele.

Trying to control the optics is as old as journalism.

I'm not sure they're foolish. I am sure they are evil.

It's a mortal sin to try to bring about the end times. That's trying to interfere with God's plan, which is one way to commit the sin of pride.

I know more about their mythology than they do, and I'm (at best) an agnostic.

Instant follow. 🙂

May it end today.

I wish.

I wish. For all of my lifetime, an atheist may as well not bother to run for office in the US. They'll never win.

Right there with you. As a (retired) writer and editor (and software developer), I really want an edit button, because nothing makes me crazier than my own mistakes.

The exact reverse is true: The presence of evangelicals anywhere reduces, if not eliminates, my trust.

If so, can we get a change in management?
