I enjoyed this video because it makes me feel not alone in my grammarian-based peevery.

A new report castigates the BBC for giving equal air time to “climate change deniers”.

Probably mad at the actual temperature record for the same reason.

Either Or

Commenting on Obama’s ignoring of the border crisis, Rick Perry said Obama was “either inept or doesn’t care”.

I disagree with Perry’s assessment. The two aren’t mutually exclusive.

Random Thoughts: Indie Fiction, Grammar, and Suffragettes

Posted by on

For clarity, indie fiction isn’t fiction about Indiana Jones. Don’t have the rights to him. Plus, property a bit damaged after fridge nuking.

I guess indie fiction is fiction by those who aren’t established authors. I guess I’m kinda an established author, but not in fiction.

If you’ve read my non-fiction books, basically everything is made up in those because I hate research, but still not technically fiction.

Superego will be my first fiction book (and first book from Liberty Island) — first book where I acknowledge everything is made up.

I always have fewer respect for anyone who uses improper grammar.

What if modern feminists could go back in time and tell suffragettes about the plight of having to pay for own $10 abortion pill.

If anyone else says humans use only 10% of their brains, Science! will hit you with a meteor.
