The GoFundMe for Uncle Hugos is now live. Please, share this far and wide.

For those of you that don’t know, Uncle Hugo’s is a locally owned, indy bookstore in Minneapolis. It got burned down last night by rioters. The building it a total loss. All the inventory was destroyed.

Uncle Hugo’s has been there since 1974. It was a special place, beloved by the locals. Because it specialized in used books, a bunch of irreplaceable 1st editions and signed copies by authors who are no longer with us were lost.

Don Blyly is the owner. On a personal level, he’s the bookstore owner who got a copy of my first manuscript, who then passed it on to Toni Weisskopf at Baen, telling her that it was a perfect fit for Baen, and that he could sell this book, except the dummy who wrote it was self publishing. I’ve been to Uncle Hugo’s to sign books probably eight or nine times now. Basically, Don helped launch my career, and I’m not alone.

Don is trying to figure out how to proceed, with a new location, or with a scaled down operation.

Let Us Help Save Uncle Hugo’s

 


Just the cost of one box of ammo if you can. The burning of books is something that we cannot tolerate.

Sad day for Sci Fi

I have been told by the cognoscenti that Uncle Ugo was a gem if not the gem for Science Fiction that went back ages and ages.  From the old pulps to the latest,  Uncle Hugo had it or would find it.  I only know about the bookstore because it was the launching pad for Larry Correia and the Monster Hunter International series.  But for the reactions I have seen online, this place is mythical for so many.

There are talks about a GoFundMe and rebuilding. I will keep you all posted

Media: Making Shit Up is Our Specialty

A photographer at the house Thursday morning appeared to stage a shot in the officer’s driveway by encouraging two people to spray “Kill Pig Cops” on the garage door, according to Jennifer Kennetz of St. Paul.

The media are not just lying to you, they are literally inciting people to violence. And then trying to lie to you about the violence not happening.

Also, reality check: when you burn down someone’s home or business, riot in their city, loot the stores they shop in, and then they hate you… that’s not racism. That’s cause and effect based on your actions.

Fake News

I can’t disagree.

The Floyd Protests: More Social Justice

This one I particular love. This was on the first day of “festivities” in Minneapolis and since the guy is white, it had to be a cop. White dude, dressed all in black, black hoody, face masked and with a tool breaking stuff somehow sounds familiar…. ANTIFA! YOU EFFING IDIOT!

And pride above all

These are people who are hungry and just wanted a plate of beans to eat.

One of the things the poor people need is a good transportation system.

Play stupid games

Floyd Protests: The War in New York.

I was getting small news things about New York City, but nothing major. Reader Mortar Girl  started to send me info. This video so far is the best summary.

And a report posted online:

Under attack: Reports of shots fired at NYPD 88th precinct as protests break out in violence.

We don’t know where the next attacks will occur or when will all stop.

You know what you are supposed to do in the meantime.
