I appreciate that one of my books' publisher has issued an Opt-In Addendum that I can choose to sign, granting them rights to use my writing for AI training, giving me a small portion of those royalties. I don't appreciate getting 4 emails in a week reminded me to "Opt In" when I don't want to!

Although Stan Lee and Steve Ditko introduced the superhero Spider-Man in a 1962 anthology comic book (Amazing Fantasy #15), the word "spiderman" predates the character.

It's recorded c. 1954 as a word for a steeplejack, a person who scales tall structures to perform maintenance or construction.

Many hours have passed and I’ve thought about what happened in the Senate some more.

And you know what? I’m still mad as hell.

I may just repost their names every day until everyone knows them by heart.

The first rule in fighting tyranny is to never capitulate in advance. You broke that rule. You are not up to the moment as a leader.

Just used "Cyndi Lauper" as a verb, so I'll be taking the rest of the year off.

Cyndi Lauper, verb, to wear enough jewelry that its banging together can be picked up by the audio, as happened during the recording of "We Are the World" (1985).

all kinds of stuff is imaginary if you think about it

Just got around to rewatching this. Viewed today, it’s very hard to see the post-apocalyptic scene with Peter Sellers as anything other than a preview of what social media would do to the human mind.

Rod Serling saw it all coming, almost exactly 60 years ago…
