Gizmodo shows there’s been unintended health consequences of light pollution due to the implementation of LED lights. Indeed, as the new results show, the amount of outdoor lighting around the world has increased during the past several years. “As a result, the world has experienced widespread ‘loss of the night,’ with half of Europe and […]

Happy Thanksgiving!
I’m thankful for all of you, my readers. You’re the best and keep me going through the hard days and good ones. I also just got an interesting message from an unlikely source about my recent Gravity Of The Game novella which implies some folk over on the establishment side of the world are reading it, […]

A Great Review From An Unlikely Source
A File 770 faithful actually left this on another blog about my short story, “Winning Is What We Do” “Then you get the whole of a JdA story. It’s actually quite funny, some of it intentionally so. Basically Trump and slightly-older son Barron are viewing their latest super-weapon, an all-US-made suit of power armour when […]
The Anti-Male Discrimination Looks Worse For Sci-Fi Insiders
A reader did research and found some more staggering conclusions after reading my article on Anti-Male discrimination by publications. I was sent me the following by a source that has to remain anonymous for their own safety: After reading your piece, I decided to also take a look at the identity of the of the editorial […]
Leave Taylor Swift Alone
Marie Claire digs into Taylor Swift for her extreme– not saying anything about politics? Is this seriously what we’ve come to? The modern witch hunts by the extreme SJWs are so crazy that now they go after you if you simply don’t jump on the outrage train and shriek with everyone else. Or maybe a […]
MAGA 2020 Makes PJ Media!
Ace Reporter Megan Fox is the ONLY conservative media commentator to cover the anthology, some of the only pop culture out there going counter-culture to the anti-trump mainstream. She’s brave for covering it, we’re brave for making it. Makes a great combo. For years we conservatives have complained impotently about the derailing culture and lack […]
In Praise Of Jeffro Johnson
I’ve been writing for a little more than a decade, and seriously since about 2012-2013, but it wasn’t until I started reading Jeffro’s posts on the Hugo nominated Castalia House blog and his Appednix N book that something clicked in me. It’s because of him I shifted my reading habits from the modern sci-fi political […]
Thanks For Reading!
Another bigly popular week at the blog and I really appreciate everyone who comes and takes the time to read. Hopefully it’s been fun and informative. I’m hard at work on Baron Von Monocle 2 for National Novel Writing Month — about 6,800 words in as I write this. If you haven’t checked out the […]
Are You Reading Astounding Frontiers?
I’ve mentioned a lot on the blog how short fiction markets don’t really get much traction. This is true, but that doesn’t mean there’s not deserving ones out there. Something that might have slipped under the radar for a lot of people is Superversive Press’s Astounding Frontiers. This is the brain child of my publisher, […]
Mainstream Media Fans Attack!
https://www.pscp.tv/w/1rmxPOjBzYqJN I do a periscope on it. got a nice hate review on Amazon, but Amazon already took it down: I could use some more real reviews of For Steam And Country though. Please leave one if you haven’t!
Americans Feel Silenced Due To PC Culture
Interesting article by the Cato Institute: The Cato 2017 Free Speech and Tolerance Survey, a new national poll of 2,300 U.S. adults, finds that 71% Americans believe that political correctness has silenced important discussions our society needs to have. The consequences are personal—58% of Americans believe the political climate prevents them from sharing their own […]
