Sci-fi Fiction Before Fact on EVs
Reading about today’s Electric Vehicles causing some drivers to become imprisoned inside when the electrical system fails is already familiar to me conceptually. From my novel JIHAD BUBBA, which I wrote in 2020: – – – Bubba sighed. He popped the clutch [on his gas-driven jeep]. As he resumed driving, more Januses [EVs] crossed his path—in fact, were unavoidable wherever he drove. Several times he had to down-clutch to prevent collision with Januses reversing direction, turning in circles and tangling traffic, or stuck...
read moreEmail Exchange on Woke Censorship of Men
Dear Jacob, Thank you for your prompt reply and for the additional info. However, I am sorry to say that your message is what I expected to hear from the Woke world of publishing and that you have confirmed my outlook. It is clear that you apply your standard of “Does not align with our guiding principles” only to the usual writers and viewpoints traditionally disfavored by Wokism since Equus is open to publishing works by anyone at all and my policy therefore is no different in that regard than any other publisher that you list. But you are...
read moreJihad Bubba Ad Completed-Results
The Equus ad has finished running. Compared to FB, X has been efficient, reaching 540,000 people for only $300, or more precisely 540,000 ‘impressions’. That’s a bargain anywhere. I won’t know for a while how many copies of JIHAD BUBBA were actually sold by Amazon, if any, but the website quadrupled traffic for several days. More people are now aware (hopefully) that Wokeness can be mocked via sci-fi satire, which was my main purpose. I hoped to help correct the notion that serious messages can’t be conveyed with...
read moreRunning an X ad for Jihad Bubba
This is the first ad I have run with X. “Hardworking Bubba Gray is obsolete in a future U.S. of Rainbowstan where ‘pre-citizens’ surge the borders, purple-haired teens make all the rules, and smart-alec robots crash their taxis—till one day he goes full ‘jihad’, with hilarious results.” I had to change my usual description of the book from ‘with unpredictable consequences’ to ‘hilarious results’ in an attempt to avoid the algorithm / moderators. The issue is that any title that has...

Regarding the many science fiction writers that I have in my collection of hardbacks and paperbacks, I have several of their works that are rare editions. The writers include Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, and many more. See my latest postings of rare books below. My purpose, as mentioned before, is not to flip them by offering them for sale, but to simply let others know what is in my library. Click pictures to go to the assigned pages with full information. Conan – Red Nails, by Robert E. Howard, edited by...

What’s the most times you can repeat the same word consecutively in a sentence and still retain meaning? Here’s a sentence with 7 words in a row. It remains true for all that that that that that that that refers to is not the same that that that that refers to. Anyone for any more? Posted by Josef Essberger February 2008 Can anyone explain this to me? Words are my specialty but this is a hard one! -Glenn Credit is to. . . 7 That’s in a Row...
read moreCollectible Books in my Sci-Fi Collection
For some years now I have been collecting popular n sometimes quite rare editions of popular science fiction books, both paperback n hardback. Writers include Edgar Rice Burroughs, H.P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, n many more. My purpose is not to flip them by offering them for sale, but to simply make others aware of what is in my library. In theory, I suppose, my entire library could be purchased, but currently I am more interested in buying than selling. First item: 1970 Double Edition of A Princess of Mars, illus. by Frank Frazetta....
read moreLaws of Human Society-Edited
Conclusions I have come to after many years of contemplation: Fundamental Principle #1: Law of Infinite Hypergamy. The higher the percentage of women in power, the more porous a nation’s borders will be, in order to expand women’s potential mating pool of high status males to an infinite asymptote. Corollary to Law of Infinite Hypergamy: vanishing borders are the clearest sign that one lives in a wholly dominant matriarchy. Fundamental Principle #2: Law of Inverse Value. The more popular something is, the less it is worth. The...

45 is a Colt, and a short playing plastic record, and a Malt Liquor. And that’s the last time I hope to type ‘and’ when ‘n’ is quicker n easier. If dolts don’t get it, that’s their problem. I’m tired of dumbing down everything for people who can’t read above a 4th grade level. If my books were to suddenly become popular, I would conclude that I had done something terribly wrong because only low-quality books ever become popular while t best books, n certainly t most intelligently written,...
read morePronouns For Thee and Me
I can’t help but make public my own pronouns. Keeping in mind that others must now address me by these legally enforceable identity-confirming words, I specify the following pronouns: “Hey You!”; “What the hell?”; “Your aunt said what?”; and “Oh, really?” I have more pronouns but they don’t compare to Jihad Bubba’s carefully selected pronouns. You’ll have to read the book to learn what his pronouns are and the legal trouble he got into because of them. If I mention them...
