This "Banned Books Week", please realize that this is nothing more than marketing propaganda. There is literally no such thing as a "banned book" in the US, and if you can make a store or library display of such books you yourself openly admit this.
Finally did the "My Nine Books" thing.
I have tattoos from the top left and bottom right corner books... :D
The answer is in this post, btw... xitter.cf/BookAnonJeff/status/21…
Well this is interesting.
Apparently Amazon no longer recommends free books on their main Kindle Deals pages.
Every single book I see when looking today is 0.99 or higher, and if it is 0 it is because it is actually Kindle Prime and to buy is still 1.99 or higher.
Now apply this to climate "science" ;)
(This book - by the guy who literally wrote some of the first books on computer based climate modeling - details more. May be *slightly* out of date (published circa 2020), but points largely still close.)
"That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell."
A-FUCKING-MEN.
I agree with that statement more than anything any actual US politician has said this decade.
Correct.
Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be.
Starshield, a different system, is controlled by the US government. What they decide to do is up to them.
Ukraine military violated Starlink terms of service and used it for offensive drone strikes to kill people. That loophole was closed last week.
Starlink remains critical to the defense of Ukraine, as it is the only system that cannot be jammed or blown up, at least for now. Were Starlink to be turned off, the Ukrainian front line would collapse immediately. This is NOT a threat, it is simply a statement of fact.
Starlink was also crucial to preventing Russia from overrunning Ukraine in the early days of the war, as all other means of communication were destroyed or jammed by Russia.
SpaceX has done more to defend Ukraine than any private company on Earth BY FAR.
That said, I have nothing but UTTER CONTEMPT for the virtue-signaling evil warmongers who push for endless slaughter and offer no realistic solution to the conflict. May you burn in hell.
End of story.
This is Book 2, and it feels like it. Read Book 1 first... and be glad you can already get your hands on this one when you finish it... :D
Blog Tour: Losing Alice by B.R. Spangler (via @Bookouture). A Bit Different For This Universe, Still Awesome.
Virtually everything you do online relies on an undersea cable connecting the continents to some degree or another - satellites can't carry *near* the data these cables do.
This book looks at their history and current issues up to and including the Russia-Ukraine War.
There is drama on this site, and for once I felt compelled to write about it in longer form than a reply or QT... :D
Some thoughts on why @conservmillen is wrong that Christians should "not be fans" of horror.
TL/DR: **HELL IS HORRIFIC** and Christians *SHOULD* preach this more!
This. (And same: re: books/ types of books in my library)
I have an extensive library full of all kinds of books. Including that one, the Communist Manifesto, the Satanic Bible, biographies of serial killers, and all manner of other evil garbage.
We don't defeat evil by burying our heads in the sand. We defeat evil by understanding it deeply and confronting it directly.
But I wouldn't expect an illiterate troll like this person to understand that.

Authors, take heart. A book came out *this week* from a Big 5 publisher... and they haven't even added *its* cover to Goodreads yet...
I wish this place could decide which format it wants re: Articles/ images/ videos *and stick with it*.
We lost a lot when Michael Crichton died. We lost nearly as much when Tom Clancy died.
With Spielberg and Cameron now on the last days of their careers, we're about to lose even more.
Fortunately, we have @ryanpatrickauth proving that he can be the next creator at their level.
Elon loves marriage so much that he personally wanted to celebrate mine and my wife's 19th anniversary today. :D
@elonmusk decided to give me and my wife an anniversary present this year. This was the *only* reason for this launch I'll accept. :D

Every data center fight has the same two meetings.
The first one is packed and angry.
The second one is five years later, about what to do with the extra money in the budget.
Almost nobody shows up to that one.
With *this* title, I saw an opportunity and felt it 100% necessary to take it.
A more profanity-riddled version of my usual review style... *specifically* because *this* book demands it. ;)
