People who know me know I'm a lifelong follower of science fiction, & being a Gen Xer, that means I enjoyed reading a LOT of #Starlog throughout its life. I return the favor in my new book, vol. I of my Starlog Compendium, available in paperback & Kindle: a.co/d/cX2DCJD
Why it matters what voters really think and want. My latest from @TheVOSF

The @WhiteSox were playing ball on October 10th.
NOBODY had that on their bingo cards when the season began.
Sorry it's over but a surprisingly fun season for the South Siders. Thanks, boys!
As the Sox currently lead 3-0 in the top of the 4th, here's my Substack from this morning. It's all about appreciating what a great season this has been, probably the most I've enjoyed a baseball season ever.
Oh, it's now 4–0.

New from our Editor at Large @jzipperer — the AI hydra: Controversy about everything, everywhere all at once
Despite action by local, state, and federal officials, Americans have increasingly made up their minds.
The train has left the station on AI (or, if the worriers are correct, the Hindenburg has left the hanger), and our international competitors are not going to help us out. thevoicesf.org/the-ai-hydra-…

I love @NomiRamone's cartoons on @TheVOSF. But this one is great. My new slogan is "The future is Cascading Asininity, be a part of it."

My latest in @TheVOSF, in which I suggest a possible campaign slogan for Wisconsin's gubernatorial candidate.

Am reading "Inventor of the Future: The Visionary Life of Buckminster Fuller" by @nevalalee. Though later known for his geodesic domes, he earlier tried to market "Dymaxion" homes. Here are my pix of one from the Henry Ford Museum I visited during a 2024 @cwclub trip to Detroit.

Another award-worthy editorial on the national political scene from @TheVOSF Editor at Large @jzipperer — this one on badly behaved politicians putting themselves forward for higher office when those skeletons are bound to come screeching out.
Why do people with histories of horrible behavior — criminal or just legal-but-terrible — put themselves forward for highly public positions of power? thevoicesf.org/the-graham-pl…

I won 1st place in the CNPA awards, announced yesterday, for Editorial Comment, Division 7.
Congrats to my @TheVOSF colleagues who won a raft of awards. For a small, still young nonprofit news site, we're going to need a bigger awards shelf.
