It's Election Day. If you're a resident of Wisconsin (or AL, CT, MN, SC, or VT), today is your day to exercise your most important superpower. Vote! "To have a choice at all is to be privileged." — Ursula K. Le Guin

"Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them." — Frank Herbert, Dune (1965)

We are observing July 4th by visiting/supporting locally-owned businesses, giving back to the community, and honoring all those who have chosen love over hate during the last 250 years. #equality #respect

In 2025, the U.S. stopped minting pennies — it was costing 3.7 cents to make each 1-cent coin. But minting nickels represent an even bigger loss. It costs 13.78 cents to make one 5-cent coin. That's a $17.7 million loss every year! Maybe it's time to rethink how coins are minted/used in the U.S.

Hey @paramountplus.com ... maybe in the future design your ads so that they work for the over 80% of people who use Dark Mode on their phones. (Black on black text??) #qualitycontrol

I vote for a vintage encyclopedia set. A vintage set offers a starting point for information on a topic, plus illustrates what we knew (and didn't know) at a specific point in time. On a related note, some of my favorite space exploration books were written between 1950 and 1980.

Meta doesn't care if their new Ray-Ban/Meta Pervert Glasses are being misused for numerous gross invasions of personal privacy: arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026... Memorize what these Pervert Glasses look like so you can avoid becoming an unknowing victim.

“The Somali pirates who ransacked Minnesota…” ??? Unhinged pure hatred like that is one big reason I avoided watching the racist-in-chief’s SOTU blather last night.

Post a tree you photographed.

Hello, #Bookvember! I'm a reader and writer who can't imagine life without books. We had a grade school teacher who read to us at the end of each day, which led me (almost immediately) to the library to find other books I could read. Writing followed when I realized I could share my own stories.

This question brings back some great memories of the 1970s and 1980s when Milwaukee’s Oriental Theatre would show a different double feature almost every night.

You’ve inherited a movie theatre, what’s your first double feature? Rear Window (1954) and Wings of Desire (1987).

This is where I post from

WisCon 2025 was a blast! Great panels / roundtables /workshops, two amazing Guests of Honor (Andrea Hairston and Naomi Kritzer), the Otherwise Award winners, and enough ideas to keep me going for months. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this year's WisCon a success!

I'm currently attending WisCon 2025. If you're attending, stop over and say "Hi."

I was at The Who’s Milwaukee 1982 show…would love to see (and hear!) an official recording of that concert.
