I miss the days of Christian propaganda when they actually tried. BEN HUR, THE PASSION OF THE CHRIST, DEBBIE DOES JERUSALEM, those films were high concept, high production. Now we get shit like DAVID and FIREPROOF.

It's far too easy to be an atheist these days. I wanna work to not believe!

A poem to start your day:

I didn't know Rob Reiner
but I loved STAND BY ME.

I didn't know Charlie Kirk
but I fuckin hate Nazis.

Richard Chizmar is using Stephen King to print money and y'all just eat it up. Numerous authors have come forward about not being paid, not to mention the ones suffering in silence, collectors have waited over a decade for books, but that doesn't matter as long as you get your Kind fanfiction.

I'm beyond tired of performative politics and like-farming. No one actually wants to do anything. They all want to be right and grow their audience, even when they're wrong and have thousands of followers.

Life is hard enough as a creative without this kinda shit.

Wishing the No le family the best. Please help if you can.

Since no one seems to care about fiction (you and me, we're no one) I shall begin my trek into nonfiction with:

I feel like one of the most underrated explanations for what's happening right now in global politics is that almost everyone has lost their minds.

The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Where's my troll at? I need to chat with you. Don't use any slurs because the algorithm will bury your comment like it does on YouTube, then I have to find your comment and approve it and you know I'm lazy. Just wave or some shit. I need a favor.

If you are not my troll, ignore this!
