Don't tell my wife I posted this. I was cleaning out some pantry cabinets today and, in the back, I found a jar of banana baby food. My son is 23.

The very nice Haley-Grace from the Kauai Writers' Conference interviewed me about publishing.

@FXRegan Oh that is a tough choice. But if you really want to intimidate an author, think about this: Forsyth decided to write thrillers and the first two he wrote were these. Incredible!

@AnneSwan I'd love to hear them. In fact, maybe I should crowdsource what questions authors most want to have answered.

@SevenXtrem68 @MarioNawfal Of course a judge can tell the other branches when they are acting unconstitutionally. It's called separation of powers. If you thought that the judicial branch couldn't "interfere" with the inner workings of the other two branches, what did you think their job was?

@JDVance It's called "separation of powers." It's in the Constitution. That's why you might not be familiar with it.

@BookJawns_ I had no doubts where your loyalties lay.

@elonmusk It will also weed out those who might have made unpopular but judicially correct decisions. The scary thing about guys like @elonmusk is that they never doubt their own brilliance. A little humility goes a long way.

@lucystone1871 @acnewsitics But Lucy, government works typically pays less than the private sector specifically because it offers more stability.

I always go to Google to doublecheck these claims because they seem impossible to believe. This one is true. Despite all his other bestial behavior, I can't think of anything more autocratic than this. How long before we're all required to have a Trump portrait in our homes?

@SammyWrites @MilaLovesJoe Actually it's not true at all.

@lexfridman Where's the transparency with Trump and Musk? The former has never released his tax returns unlike every other politician and the latter is completely conflicted. How much grant money does Space X get from the govt? What about Tesla?

@elonmusk Oh thank God, President Musk is an expert on military tactics as well as infrastructure, foreign aid, education, and labor relations. The good news is that we'll be able to colonize Mars when he leaves Earth a smoking ruin.

@Acyn Why in the world would you ever want a government to run like a business? That's glib and stupid. A business is there to make money--period. A government exists for the benefit of its people. That involves spending money that might not have an immediate or even medium run return.

@BookJawns_ Both of the books were good. So was the first movie. It's all been downhill since then.

@mleyshonauth Haha. That’s a brilliant idea!!
