And… that’s why I wrote it. I see this warped, evil version of ‘masculinity’ for want of a better word, and I think… our warrior ancestors in China snd Japan, England, India, Abyssinia, Italy… all expected better behaviour. Hegseth’s ‘warrior’ is apparently too weak to control himself.
So, it’s not just an immoral and unjust war—it’s an incompetent war. AI targeting, by any chance? Poor intelligence, no oversight, bang, it’s a war crime. When TWO tomahawk missiles strike the same target…
This morning I’m working with @nicholaseames.bsky.social
Science is amazing, and in our current era I’m sometimes heartened that somewhere, despite the madness, science continues to amaze.
Them: AI will take your job
Me: Oh, please. I’d like to see it neck three coffees, ignore 17 emails, take the cat for a walk, and have two cries before noon.
One of the best! Great questions and great people😊 and @nicholaseames.bsky.social who is a delight
Today? 3pm!
If allowed, I’ll read a scene from my new secret series—epic fantasy
Bored? Looking for something to do Saturday?

Fighting is dangerous, at least in my books. May I remind you this in my second historical novel I killed the protagonist?
Yesterday I wrote a massive fight scene. Today, I copy-edit a different book. Sigh…
Week 12 of Marazzo’s sword alone, now on parts 2 and 3 of the assalto.

I’m a small part of this but please stop by and say hello!
Wow. Dreyfus? Who was heroic af in WWI? Sad. But lying about history is a core fascist issue
Same here
I think you will enjoy my forthcoming fantasy novel. Is this magnificent picture from manga?
Last night’s extraordinarily bloody fight on the Tokaido in 1868. A Pyrrhic draw! Full battle report on the Sharp Practice group on FB. Game included sushi, sake, and much hilarity!
She’s been trying to rectify her citizenship since 2008. She’s the daughter of a senior U.S. official. She’s an Iranian Christian. Trump’s DHS plans to send her back to Iran where she will be arrested, interrogated, and probably killed . (I have some personal knowledge on this one.)
Sharp Practice!
I’ve spend the last few months building armies for the Boshin War (1868-9) in Japan. I’m almost done! Game today😊

Jealous. That’s a long way from Toronto
I was greeted with black screen this morning, followed by an hour ling struggle to log on, but the pastry is good and now I’m writing…
