On Doing Something

Posted on June 15, 2016October 7, 2021 by Frog

I know all about the hating and the sneering.  I’m a member of the why-bother generation myself.  But why did I bother to come out here tonight?  And why did you?  I mean, it’s time.  It begins with us.  Not with politicians, the experts, or the teachers, but with us.  With you, and with me….

This is how come we lose so GD always.

Posted on June 14, 2016October 7, 2021 by Frog

You know why people don’t like liberals?  Cause they lose.  If liberals are so fucking smart how come they lose so God-Damned Always?  – Will McAvoy, The Newsroom By now, anyone who is internet savvy enough to read this blog has already seen the opening scene of The Newsroom.  You’ve watched with glee as Aaron…

The Pain of Reentry

Posted on June 1, 2016October 7, 2021 by Frog

I’m not going to do a con report for Miscon.  Miscon was easily the greatest con experience Esther and I have had yet. This wasn’t because of the con staff (who were still great), or the hotel staff (who weren’t).  Miscon is the con where, for lack of a better term, the fact of our…

Haters gonna hate

Posted on December 28, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Rant time. Jesus fuck, people.  Just relax for a second.  We’re all going to be OK. It’s true.  There are some haters out there who have gotten on the internet and said bad things about The Force Awakens.  Since 99.9% of the world shares my opinion that this movie is (a) awesome, and (b) a…

A Muslim Refugee Might Kill Me, and That’s OK.

Posted on December 8, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Let’s start with this:  every religion has had followers who believe that God demands the murder of anyone who does not follow their particular overzealous brand of that religion. Christianity not only included, but especially.  There’s a good millenium of history where the most murderous fanatics around were, in fact, Christian.  Doesn’t mean all Christians are…

Why do I not have more diversity in my books?

Posted on November 24, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Some background, first:  Growing up, everyone around me was white like me. That statement is not literally true.  The small, rural town of Colfax, Washington actually contained Asians, Hispanics, African-Americans, Native Americans, Indians, and Arabs.  Not in large concentrations, but they were there.  Hell, they were within one grade level of me at school. But…

On War

Posted on November 16, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

I hate doing things as a simple meme post.  The world is so much more complicated than that. The attacks in Paris were a physical set of attacks made against a NATO country.  We here in America have sworn mutual defense with France, and so these attacks may as well have been made against us…

On Finding Some Common Ground

Posted on October 6, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Ladies and Gentlemen of America, I have a news flash for you.  The Constitution Is.  It exists, it is interpreted by the Supreme Court, and nothing short of a Constitutional Amendment is going to change that.  Stop trying to make arguments that it isn’t. To the Left:  like it or lump it, the Second Amendment…

The Law of Superefficient Reactions

Posted on September 15, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

“For every internet action, there is a greater and opposite reaction.” There.  I’ve boiled it down for you.  You want an explanation?  OK, let’s get into the math of this thing. Let’s say Alex makes an argument on the internet, which we will take as A.  Now, A could be basically any position at all, and…

On Collateral Damage

Posted on August 22, 2015October 7, 2021 by Frog

Let me talk to you for a moment about Jennifer Brozek. Now, I’ve been going to panels with Jennifer for a couple of years.  She’s an amazing speaker, she’s a hell of a gamer, and she is amazing at what she does.  She has nothing to do with the Sad Puppy or Rapid Puppy or any kind…
