Will new tariffs doom my books to languish in a (very clean, well-lit, and well-run) warehouse in Vancouver, B.C.? You can help…if you would like a discount on my latest book, which was printed and is fulfilled from Canada! 🇨🇦

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine •all arcs show spoiler question•

As I think about DS9, it seems like the entire setup of the show is that the Prophets knew they would need a defender against the Pah-Wraiths, so they just used time and space to create one. (And, unlike most Chosen Ones, they had a plan that he would just become one of them instead of being discarded.)

Doesn’t that make Jake 1/4 Prophet? Was that NEVER discussed? Does that explain the episode in which he changes 70 years of history?

Cybertruck fire death

Once you find out someone burned alive in the Tesla Cybertruck, maybe it’s not funny to share the video anymore or joke about it.

Pleased as punch to congratulate @indexing for winning the American Society of Indexing’s 2024 Indexing Award in the trade (general market) book category for @mwichary’s Shift Happens! https://www.asindexing.org/news/2024-indexing-awards-winners/

I’ve worked with Jan for decades and made the introduction (I edited and project-managed Shift Happens), but they made the magic together. Congratulations!

(Jan also built the index for How Comics Were Made.)

I’ve put up for sale the rare “Sparky”-signed copy (to his hockey pal Mike) of “Snoopy and ‘It Was a Dark and Stormy Night’” on my website. I’ve posted pictures of the inscription and of the book’s condition. I used auction sites with completed sales to price it. https://glog.glennf.com/hcwm-store/inscribed-snoopy-and-it-was-a-dark-and-stormy-night-signed-as-sparky

An unfortunate semi-secret of the aviation world is that no control tower has ever talked a non-pilot through landing a craft successfully. https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/650464/can-passenger-be-talked-through-landing-plane-emergency

Many people apparently think at least mainline planes have pushbutton takeoff/landing operations and auto-pilot functions that are effectively magical.

Accidentally purchased a personally inscribed first-edition Charles Schulz book. This was via an online bookstore that I guess didn’t recognize the “Sparky” signature. Schulz seemingly signed his full name to people he didn’t know and Sparky—the nickname given to him at just days old—to friends.
