I am really excited about this WIP. Ever since I wrote the short story “The End of Elysium,” I thought it would make a good novel—and now, with the help of AI, I’m able to make that a reality while juggling all of my other writing projects! What follows is the AI-assisted draft of the… Continue reading WIP Excerpt: The End of Elysium, Chapter 1
New direction for the blog
I’ve kept this blog for almost twenty years. During that time, there have been busy seasons and there have been slow seasons, but it’s never really gone away, and I don’t think it ever will. That’s good, because since I don’t do social media anymore, this is my only online public-facing platform. With that in… Continue reading New direction for the blog
What About Ezra’s Eagle?
Several years ago, I wrote a blog post about the Ezra’s Eagle prophecy, which has somehow become the #2 search result for that term on Google. As a result, I’ve been getting hundreds of views on that blog post every week—and whenever Glenn Beck or some other conservative media commentator discusses the apocryphal prophecy, I… Continue reading What About Ezra’s Eagle?
Was Winston Churchill the true villain of WWII?
There’s this clip from Tucker Carlson that’s going around right-wing alternative media right now, from a guest who made the claim that Winston Churchill was the true villain of WWII. The best (ie least hysterical) analysis of this claim that I’ve heard is probably from Michael Knowles, which you can see here: I have to… Continue reading Was Winston Churchill the true villain of WWII?

Did I predict it?
On July 24th, 2024, eleven days after the (first) Trump assassination attempt, I posted the following prediction: 4. The Democrats will nominate Harris for President. By this point, the coronation of Kamala Harris should be official. Without winning a single primary vote in either 2020 or 2024, she has been elected selected to be the… Continue reading Did I predict it?
Some (better) advice for the chronically single
So the Daily Wire recently put out an interesting article about the current trend of chronically single young adults who want to get married but have had zero luck, especially with today’s online dating scene. From what I can tell, online dating is like a post-apocalyptic wasteland right now—which is a huge problem, because ever… Continue reading Some (better) advice for the chronically single
The state of science fiction is as bad as Australian breakdancing
It seems like most of the internet is talking about the hilariously bad breakdancing performance given by Australia at the Paris Olympics. Apparently, the “athlete” in question is actually a university professor named Rachael Gunn who specializes in breakdancing studies, or some such nonsense, and the main reasons she got the nod to compete are… Continue reading The state of science fiction is as bad as Australian breakdancing
