Authors: I was just on the Ingram website checking on something and they have a big notice about that IngramSpark fraud that is going around (fraudulent links and asking for money from you to publish), so a reminder to make sure you are on the legit Ingram website before doing publishing business!

I used to know a guy who made a Big Deal out of having gold in his bunker, "just in case" an apocalypse happened(which he believed was on its way, but nvm that).

When I asked him why anyone in Starvation Times would give him food in return for a useless shiny metal, he would get *so angry*

For myself, seeing that first trailer was a quick whiplash between:

"Oh, cool, new Tron movie😀"
to
"Ugh, Jared Leto is in it?🤮"

I similarly chose to take this bullet instead of subjecting my (non-Tron-obsessed, unlike me) family.

And I wouldn't expect you to. I often try to point out to ppl close to me that the results of their actions matter more than their intentions, but this sounds just plain *mean*. The actions are so egregious that the intentions are hard to see as anything but crappy.

I am uhhh, doing pretty good, all things considered? Heading towards a release, working on next step, getting paid for some finished stuff.

Feels strange, honestly.

Okay, well that sucks. That whole feeling stinks out loud.

There's a couple of close relatives that I *never* ask to read anything of mine, because even when they think they're being supportive and helpful, all they ever do is tell me what they hated about it.

I don't need praise, but come on

The music was pretty alright (though I really, really like As Alive As You Need Me To Be).

But, yeah.

"Visually stunning, narratively bankrupt" is a paradigm I am getting very tired of.

The temptation to reply to this with something like "What's THAT supposed to mean??!?😠" was very, very strong.

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heavens. That's in the Bible, so you know it's true.

I believe Gilbert&Sullivan did a song about it...

Ah, yes. The inherent class-superiority of accessing the Web, of World Wide fame, via the only truly pure and noble method:

A 1907 Victrola, hand-cranked, so that you can really hear all the pops and scratches and shit.

It's actually just a single meme with a wide variety of cultivars.

Or every so often the camera pans by the Quality Assurance department and there just... a clown in there. At a desk. Working.

Absolutely. I've never gotten over how perfect a title was "The Celery Stalks At Midnight"
