In Section B.2, Matthew Johnson appears to reveal the real source of the SFWA’s institutional fury, which is the fact that I have drawn attention to the organization’s increasingly shabby reputation and nonexistent integrity. It is a little ironic, as again, there is nothing that I could do as a single member that could possibly […]
Read the whole interview. This is very far from over: Yesterday, you reported some more details from these documents that Snowden has been sharing, including the fact that “Microsoft has helped NSA to circumvent its encryption to address concerns that the agency would be able to intercept web chats.” I’m quoting directly from the story. […]
Standout Author Michael Z. Williamson and I don’t exactly see eye-to-eye on everything, but he’s written a very good post on his experience with SFWA. He, too, has had a run-in with The Puppinette: Mary Robinette Kowal, self-described professional puppeteer and part time writer, is very upset with some of the drama going on in […]
Section 3 is where Matthew Johnson really begins to send the SFWA Board Report off the rails of reason: 3. Harassment The following is the SFWA policy on harassment: The SFWA administration, employees, members, and volunteers are responsible for assuring that all persons who participate in SFWA programs and activities do so in an atmosphere […]
I find this report of the 2nd Circuit Court decision to be interesting for two reasons: A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in […]

The LAPD quickly rules out foul play in the fiery demise of Michael Hastings, investigative reporter: The Los Angeles Police Department said there appears to be no foul play in the one-vehicle accident that killed journalist Michael Hastings. The Los Angeles County coroner on Thursday positively identified Hastings as the driver of a Mercedes that […]
And yet, somehow I doubt he’ll admit that his neo-Keynesian advocacy of more government spending, more money printing, and more debt is incorrect when Abenomics, as applied Keynesian stimulus in Japan is known, fails. We already know that when it fails, it will be for the same reason that Obama’s $787 billion stimulus package failed: […]
State officials are secretly attempting to bury the public records related to the Sandy Hook “shootings”: The staffs of the state’s top prosecutor and the governor’s office have been working in secret with General Assembly leaders on legislation to withhold records related to the police investigation into the Dec. 14 Newtown elementary school massacre — […]
GV notes that IGN cares an awful lot more about Disney princesses than pretty much anyone who reads it: I wasn’t going to send this until I saw this story up at IGN three times. First they reported the new redesign of Merida then they reported two stories on how Disney would not cave in […]
