Israel and Iran

by Medron Pryde on June 16, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

I was not looking forward to a war with Iran. I really don’t want America to be in one. There was a time I would have. Back when I was young and dumb and thought we could roll in with Freedom and help build newer and better nations. I was wrong. I now understand that the people running our government really suck at nation building. They are really good at getting young men killed, but not so good at building functional governments. And so I no longer support anything like it.

That said, I do take a general glee at the idea of watching Israel killing terrorists and the people who fund and train of terrorists. And so I am filled with mixed opinions about this recent conflict. But I absolutely love how they did it. They smuggled in drones, waited until the right time, used the drones to take out the local air defenses, and then flew their jets in to plaster their targets. F-35s in first due to their stealth, with F-16s and F-15s moving behind them as the F-35s clear the road.

It truly is amazing to see an air attack like this. NATO dirty tricks get real effective when you have a real air force to take advantage of them. I am cheering the Israelis on. I do hope the Iranians agree to end their long war with Israel. Stop pursuing the atomic bomb. Stop funding the terrorists. All the fun jazz. I don’t expect it, you understand. But I am hopeful that we will see a good end to this. Preferably before too many civilians get killed.

Mad Science!

by Medron Pryde on June 13, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

Unleash your inner mad scientist! Note the exclamation mark. Science should always have one of those, especially when it follows madness! Dive into a wild anthology of sci-fi tales where telepathy, matter-transmission, and volcano-powered rockets ignite the imagination. Packed with tongue-in-cheek humor, bad puns, and mind-bending ideas, these stories celebrate the joy of questioning everything. From the golden age of pulp to the bludgeoning edge of science, prepare for a fun, thought-provoking ride that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but may leave you asking yourself… Do you want to know more?

From the Brim to the Dregs

by Medron Pryde on June 12, 2025 at 12:01 am
Posted In: Diaries

Raconteur Press is publishing another anthology this week. This time it is about the crazy hi-jinks involved in mad science. But while you’re waiting for that to come out, you may want to check out From the Brim to the Dregs. That is an anthology filled with the crazy hi-jinks involved with fermented or non-fermented drinks of a dubious and sometimes special nature. These are not necessarily stories about getting drunk, though some drinking is involved.

Now I do have a story in there, which is my reason for pimping it, and it involves a drink that shows a man the future. Assuming a man can remain sane while seeing multiple possible futures at once, that can give him a powerful advantage. What would you do if you could see the future? Would you go to the horse races and place a bet on the winning horse? Start a fight to see your opponent’s moves before they move? Or would you try to talk a pretty girl into letting you kiss her? The possibilities are endless. What would you do if they were all laid out before your eyes?
