    Dead Drafts: The Mystery of the Bloody White Whale

    I was combing through my dusty, old writing folder on my NAS where my fiction traditionally goes to die and was reminded of all the projects that sprung briefly from my once fertile mindscape. As I looked them over I felt sadness over so many ideas I allowed to die on the vine. I don’t recall where I was going with this one, but I found the core idea rather hilarious in just a few paragraphs. It’s rather clear I was inspired by Moby Dick, though.

    This is unedited, so there is a big plot hole, some incomplete world building, and one $10 word I should not have used. I have added it to my Ellipsus account, so maybe I’ll work on an updated and more complete version. Enjoy - TKN. #fiction #writing

    MacBook Neo? Yeah, go ahead and buy it!

    The new MacBook Neo in four colors (silver, pink, yellow, and indigo).

    “New $599 MacBook Neo! What Apple Didn’t Tell You”

    “BEFORE you buy the MacBook Neo…”

    “Apple’s $599 MacBook Neo is GREAT (..or is it?)”

    The headlines on countless YouTube videos say it all… right? It’s compromised! Apple didn’t tell you everything! Don’t make the wrong choice! It’s madness, per usual, as influencers scramble to carve out a potentially contentious position on Apple’s new affordable laptop, the MacBook Neo.

    It’s all bunkum, if you ask me.

    These influencers are the same people who complain when their $1200 Pro phones aren’t also the best cameras ever and shocked when …

    I really like the idea behind Wheels & Roses, an #indie #animation about roller derby and magic. The pilot is short and a bit rough in places, but it has real promise and I think they just need resources to improve. Give them some love! www.youtube.com/watch

    The #DOJ has started releasing the #Epstein files because the #TFG Administration is the single most transparent since forever and ever. They made some minor redactions to protect the innocent, of course, though the definition of who the victims are appears to be somewhat fluid. #uspol

    CRITICAL NOTICE: According to the #TFG Administration, this reality you are currently experiencing is a #Democrat plot to funnel gigadillions of our tax dollars into #trans aardvark-staffed weapons factories where they build #gay bombs. Daddy T, however, says everything is just fine. #delusional

    Trump being trump with googly eyes and a weird hand gesture, accompanied by the text I'M the BEST!. Biden did it all, but he’s also a human carrot, so the autopen did it!

    This is WhiteHouse.gov, the nation’s official webpage for the Executive branch of the US government. Apparently this is the new “humor” we’re supposed to be “enjoying” in #TFG’s AmeriKKKa. Disgusting. Don’t fall for the distractions, but remain aware. #uspol #idiocracy #NoFacists

    A parody of MySpace called mysafespace, a place for dems, showing what is supposed to be Hakeem Jeffries' profile regarding the government shutdown. The background is a repeating pattern of sombrero. The overall tone is mocking and juvenile. At the top is a banner ad for TrumpRX and there is a link to information on getting a Trump Card in the navigation. A tracker at the top claims that Democrats have shut down the government for 34+ days.

    The #GOP has their talking points nailed down, glued, epoxied, welded, then encased in Amber. The #Democrats should have understood this years ago when #TFG started his endless agitprop campaign and have direct counters to all the propaganda. But nope. So sick of this bullshit. #NOKINGS #uspol

    The #Democrats and “unbiased” mainstream media’s handling of the #GOP and #MAGA sucks. #TFG & Co.’s messaging is all tightly coordinated. They get their marching orders, are invited onto #CNN and whatnot to spew their lies, whilst Dems change nothing of their messaging. WTAF. #uspol #NOKINGS

    ‘We Just Got Elon Musk-ed’

    Bari Weiss’s first major move as CBS News chief has staffers on edge—ordering every journalist to submit a written memo justifying their work, in an apparent Elon Musk-style loyalty test.

    Bari Weiss (L) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R).

    Hello and happy Saturday,

    Bari Weiss is taking a page out of Elon Musk’s playbook. Days after taking over as editor in chief of CBS News, Weiss sent the network’s journalists an email Friday that set off alarm bells. Every staffer, she said, must write for her a memo by Tuesday detailing how they spend their working hours, what they’ve produced, what’s broken, and how they’d fix it.

    In her memo, The Free Press founder framed the …
