I know ridiculously obscure details about film. Some people seem to think it’s a legitimate talent. One day, maybe it will earn me a living.

Watched the new BluRay of SLAUGHTER'S BIG RIP-OFF, and while it looks great, it's still the rescored version.
How is it that in 2025, UMG is still asking ridiculous money to clear the original James Brown music for physical media, AND the billionaire who now owns this movie won't bloody pay it?

People have no idea how little it takes to move the needle a little bit for a writer. I didn’t know this, but it tracks with what I know.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

watching centrist dems burn down huge amounts of their internal party infrastructure in 2020 to stop Sanders only for them to then eat shit so badly in 2024 was a grim kind of schadenfreude.
especially since they immediately pivoted to blaming Muslim, Latinx, & queer people for why Harris lost.
