  15. Writing as Nick Guthrie, I have a new story up at Cold Caller - this time a WW2 mystery. And you can read it for free, so what's stopping you?

  16. I've hinted at this (below) before, as we've watched the #USA slide into #fascism. But with #ICE and the #DoJ now routinely ignoring court orders, or engaging in malicious compliance, and offering obviously bad-faith arguments about how their actions didn't actually violate court orders, it's become pretty apparent that the #immigration issue is the one driving this #lawless #government.

    Did I say immigration? Sorry, I meant the #racist issue. The administration has been very clear and very explicit about their actual goals - bragging about how they're going to "restore" #America with 100,000,000 #deportations. That's basically the number of non-white people in the #country, most of whom were born in the USA and are lawful, #inalienable #citizens. Then there are the slogans and mottos stolen directly from the #Nazis, talking about #purifying Germany and all the rest. They are not being subtle about this.

    Building #concentration camps is a pretty solid clue, too. The death #camps in #WWII started out like this, trying to #deport people. But when you can't move fast enough, well, you gotta do something, right? So #gas chambers and #crematoriums... ICE isn't meeting its #deportation quotas, so they're letting people die of neglect and abuse. It'll get there.

    So, the point: if (big IF) #USAnians can recover their #country, it won't really be over until #Stephen #Miller meets his end after a short #drop and sudden stop at the #Hague.

  17. Auschwitz A Doctor's Eyewitness Account by Miklos Nyiszli, 2011

    Auschwitz was one of the first books to bring the full horror of the Nazi death camps to the American public; this is, as the New York Review of Books said, "the best brief account of the Auschwitz experience available."

  18. New series on #BBC #TV - "Paranormal"
    Episode 1 in which someone pretending to be a journalist pretends to be surprised that lots of desperate people might have been taken in by someone short of cash pretending to communicate with the dead *during a world war*.

    Warning to the feeble-minded: Some scenes are accompanied by traditionally spooky sounds which might scare you a bit.

  19. OK... I managed to change my sheets, do my dishes, do a 30 min. HIIT exercise and prepare lunch and dinner. In between, I did nothing except watch movies. If you haven't watched #NurembergTrials, YOU NEED TO!!! So old but so apropos for today. All the "both sides" rhetoric... G-a-w-d! Great actors, #SpencerTracy, #MarlenaDietrich, #RichardWidmark, #BurtLancaster, #WilliamShatner and #MrsOlsen from the TV coffee ads and the actor who played #ColonelKilnk!
