Glazius points out: You say "cat burglar raised by apes" I just imagine a Tarzan yell but very, very quiet. --- Terror of the Z-bomb! By Paul Wiggidy-Wade Williams “Was I a cute toddler?” Kabir thought for a moment. “And do you want me to be nice, Devika?” “That feels like an answer.” She...

(Don't rob emperor Haile Selassie!) Adwa that ends well! Semya leaned against the stone telegraph shack. "Funny… Normally a dame walks into your office, right?” The group had been earning a bit of a reputation lately. Still, it was a surprise when they were invited to Addis Ababa for a meeting...

(Gumshoes pick up a nun!) On Ice by Eric S. Trautmann The Parisian stepped out of the taxi. There was supposed to be a club here, but all she saw was a desperate throng of people, police cars, chaos. She stumbled onto the curb, falling into a strong man’s arms. “Oh, pardon moi”, said...

Dinosaurs at the Alamo! By JC Connors. A vision of two-legged carnivores, their tongues thirstily lolled out, creeping down the stairs to this very room! I don’t know if I’m going to fool anyone, the adventure being titled what it is, but I hope I can add some intrigue. Early March, 1935...

Music in the Hills. “An’ yew haf pictures of that?” asked that editor, changing his eyepatch from one eye to the other… Neither of them damaged. 1935, Miami Beach. Far from a massive hotel district, it was considered a sleepy part of the city… But the party was hopping in Bert "the Beast"...

Monster in the mine! "How much is this guy paying you?" Devika asked the henchmen. "I have my checkbook with me." "11,000 [modern] dollars to whomever can capture, kill, or otherwise remove the Copper Mine Monster!" It was the dog days of summer in New York, so Ziegler Security Services made...

NFTs? Hydrochlorofluorocarbons? Whale oil and leaded gas?

Whenever I feel the need to score points in the argument about AI, I feel it’s best to just talk about the CEOs. Trustworthy products generally don’t come from untrustworthy companies. More from Ed Zitron’s excellent newsletter, Where’s your Ed At: [In March], the Wall Street Journal...

I say this as someone who has won political office as a socialist: The distribution of resources for human welfare is not the same thing as wanting to push a button and get a picture of an elf. Poverty is something that leads to social, moral, physical, and spiritual consequences. It’s squid...

Why does there need to be a level playing field between people who could learn to do good art, or invest in paying people… And those who don’t? Fairness can often be good but it’s not inherently moral to make two sides of things the same. I've put out free RPG products for years, with either my...
