Tron Legacy wasn't a good movie, but it was a pretty dang good Daft Punk music video. I was interested in the same thing but for Trent Reznor, but every time I see Jared Leto's face a voice just says, "No."

I'm in Canada but get paid USD from (meager) book sales via PayPal on a couple of platforms. Then, when I find new music I enjoy and buy it from Bandcamp, it uses the USD option there, and thus I know it's the same money I made selling books that I use to buy music.

If Microsoft had been taken over by vampires, that might explain some of their decisions the past few years.

Right? It's like Word is asking you to invite the errors in.

If I had laser hair, I sure wouldn’t want it removed. I’d be so psyched.

Seriously, you gotta pay attention to MS Word's suggestions now. It's not just slightly wrong with its suggestions but playing jazz with them. I was just gonna select it to insert the hyphen...

Wow. I was listening to a single artist's playlist on Youtube, and right in the middle there's three HOUR-LONG sales pitches about cryptocurrency that's been inserted after the fact.

Dead Internet Theory jumping the shark.

Screenshot of a playlist, Pilotpriest - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, with a listing of the tracks. In the middle are two AI-generated scams that don't belong.

With our new issue, we are making the sad announcement that this will be the final year for On Spec. See www.onspec.ca for details.

Cat tax for book promo. #HazelTheInternKitty about to break out of the Phantom Zone and come to planet Kitchen to rescue the humans from the evil allure of Bacon.
A very fuzzy torby kitty stretches on the other side of a glass door.

Marketing is hard. #Book marketing is super hard. Getting reviews for those books is harder still. Here we have a #collection of #SFF books that seem to largely fall between the cracks of easily defined genres, deserving of some attention.

Maybe check 'em out.

That second wizard is about to squint into the noonday sun and tell you to reach for your staff, if you're feeling lucky.

Bad news: I've misplaced my wizard's ring and haven't been able to find it for several days

Good news: I found these two guys I drew ages ago while searching

I kinda wondered if I could just edit as I go, but that'd be like painting a room and then ripping it up for renos.

Or like our local Works Dept. paving the road in front of our place and then coming back and ripping it up to install new water lines.

My most #Canadian opinion might be that I think there's genuinely genius episodes of Corner Gas, & I kinda find it comforting that if I want there's weird internet channels on my TV that I can flip through & find an all Corner Gas channel between an all Baywatch and an all "Millionaire" channel.

*also as long as I never had to turn or park, as it looks like it has the turning radius of a cement truck.

Ha. Ditto. This is one of the few cars I've ever went, Yep, I would drive this happily. In some kinda fantasy world of course.

An unnoted aspect of this is how much this affects fans of other artists. There's only a few vinyl pressing plants these days, and between swift's and Adele's huge orders, a couple years ago other artists had a long delay in putting out their own albums.

I've decided that 80% of the conflict in my parents' marriage stems directly from the shitty layout of their kitchen.
