Thank you, Europeans.

The restraining order. Totally unfair. It's not like I MEANT to pull the pin on the grenade. S. GrenadeS. It just sorta happened. And nobody died so I don't see what the big deal was. Political persecution is what it is.

Just saw this happen in The Boys and BOY HOWDY does it look like a screamin' good time!

Cunning. Brilliant. Gotta hand it to Steve Jobs, he was a showman.

I heard it's the better Disney park, too, since it isn't half under construction. And it still has Splash Mountain.

"Bawdy mother" meant either she slept around or she was a hoor.

So you screwed up SO BADLY they banned you and all your relatives and anyone with your last name from living in this town ever again… The name Gastrell has the unique feature of being banned in Stratford-upon-Avon. This is owing to the dramatic action of Rev. Francis Gastrell, who resided in New Place (once William Shakespeare’s home) during the 18th Century. Irritated by the large numbers of passers-by staring at the Bard of Avon’s former residence (particularly a mulberry tree supposedly planted by the poet, which enticed people to trespass and steal cuttings from it), Gastrell cut down the tree and chopped it to pieces. An alternative story suggests that Gastrell believed this action would lessen the value of the property (and the amount of tax he would have to pay). In an apparent bid to avoid taxes, Gastrell went so far as to have New Place pulled to the ground entirely in 1759. This unforgivable action resulted in Gastrell being forced to leave the town, never to return. To ensure that neither the Reverend (nor his descendants) ever entered Stratford again, a bylaw was passed prohibiting anyone with the name Gastrell from taking residence in the area. (Text not from the pictured book; it was just the only picture I could find of New Place.)

“These Are the Dead Man’s Eyes” is a standalone excerpt from WAR IN PIECES. It was my very first piece of war writing, and Neal @PilumPress believed in it enough to give it a home. You can find it in PRIZES: PILUM NEW VOICES No. 4. 2/5 pilumpress.com/products/priz…

If you’re in the mood to check out my non-war writing, I have a collection of short stories available. BRAIN LEAKAGE collects new and previously published work. Sci-fi. Fantasy. Humor. More fun than a root canal. And cheaper, too. 5/5 amazon.com/Brain-Leakage-Dan…

My second war poem appeared in the same journal. You can read “The Sacker of Cities” free at the link below. And if you want a hard copy, keep an eye on @BattlebornMag. It’s scheduled to be reprinted in an upcoming issue. 4/5 journalofexpressivewriting.c…

I found the dialogue in this to be so mesmerizing I couldn't stop listening. It's amazing what a couple of good writers can do to keep your eyes glued to the screen.

Time it right, you go and buy the annual pass. Spend a week. Go home, wait 350 days or so and go back. Use up the pass. My daughter went to one of the parks. Just for a day. Food was not crazy expensive. Lots of neat toys for a reasonable price. Yeah, go to Japan.

OS's change around you. They contain API's (Application Programming Interfaces) which are the bits of the OS that do things for you, like accept mouse events that let your software know when the user clicked on something. These get updated or replaced. So you have to keep up with the changes. This is "maintenance." There are other reasons, but this is an important one.

Fantastic illo. Jay Anacleto is indeed immensely talented.

You know, if this statue had been made by Khorne worshippers, it would be called "The Statue of Butchery."

The algorithm pre-decides how many people will like it, then only shows it to that many people. Literally nobody else among your followers sees it.

Big buildings with statues on them that are Grecian, not Art Deco. I suggested that as an aesthetic two-ish years ago. I wonder if that would be counted in this Greco-Deco. A return to beauty.

Just look at the picture above. You just… I DIDNT DO THIS THIS IS NOT MY FAULT

Remember yesterday when I wrote an entire long post explaining why "cool" was a critical factor in the devolution of Pop Culture? The universe loves me and provided supporting evidence today. #WarpigIsRightAgain
