They gave Shrek $800,000 to not write a book nobody would read.
Presumably, that was the original idea behind Unfettered when the book was pitched around to publishers in late 2023. A source previously told me the total advance for the project came in at approximately $1.2 million, with roughly $700,000 to $800,000 going to Fetterman, and the remainder going to ghostwriter Buzz Bissinger, the author of Friday Night Lights and other renowned works. That source—who had direct knowledge of the book negotiations and writing process—as well as a second source, told me that Fetterman and Bissinger did not get along. Bissinger did little to quell those rumors: He yelled at me, then hung up on me when reached by phone, and later told the New York Times that while he provided the template for Unfettered, it was Fetterman who delivered the content. “The book is John’s,” he said. There is no audience for Unfettered, and I do not think Crown will get its money’s worth on this memoir. The day after Fetterman’s book dropped, I called a handful of Barnes and Nobles and independent bookstores in Pennsylvania. The Barnes and Noble in York—where Fetterman was born and raised—had sold zero copies. The Barnes and Noble in Philadelphia had sold two copies. An independent store in Pittsburgh and an independent store in Philadelphia each told me they weren’t stocking Unfettered, at least not at the moment. Another independent store in Philadelphia described interest in Unfettered as lukewarm. In fairness, things can of course change. But the early signs are not good. A few days after Unfettered came out, it was ranked No. 82,145 among all books on Amazon. As of Monday, Nov. 17 (not quite a week since the book’s release), it’s No. 15,713.

A lot of things about Richard Hanania start to make sense when you realize he's Beni from The Mummy.

I think I've got a winner here.
New Yorker cartoon caption contest entry. The image is a waiter at a table where two people are seated and a large cornucopia full of fruit is on the table. The caption is "No, it's not the Fruit of the Loom logo. The Fruit of the Loom logo never had a cornucopia. It's one of those Mandela effect things."

Happy one year anniversary to this legendary Richard Dawkins airball.
11/12/2024 tweet from Richard Dawkins: I take (possibly forlorn) hope in the fact that although Trump is a mendacious, malevolent, transparently evil man, and stupid with it, Musk is not. He is highly intelligent and, diametrically opposed to Trump, he has the welfare of the world at heart.

There's an episode of Friends in which Phoebe uses this exact argument to trick Ross into admitting that evolution might not be real so the fact that this writer is using it to argue for machine consciousness is very funny.
You might object that this is a verbal trick, that I’m arguing that A.I. will become conscious because we’ll start using the word “conscious” to include it. But there is no trick. There is always a feedback loop between our theories and the world, so that our concepts are shaped by what we discover. Consider the atom. For centuries, our concept of the atom was rooted in an ancient Greek notion of indivisible units of reality. As late as the 19th century, physicists like John Dalton still conceived of atoms as solid, indivisible spheres. But after the discovery of the electron in 1897 and the discovery of the atomic nucleus in 1911, there was a revision of the concept of the atom — from an indivisible entity to a decomposable one, a miniature solar system with electrons orbiting a nucleus. And with further discoveries came further conceptual revisions, leading to our current complex quantum-mechanical models of the atom.

It's fascinating how the moral decay of normal people who turn MAGA manifests itself physically. Usha's out here looking like she drank from the wrong cup (and she did!).

When Dhalsim gets hit by Blanka's electricity attack, the skulls around his neck aren't visible. This suggests that the skulls aren't made of bone, and are thus fake.

As Halloween draws near, a reminder that I publish weird fetish erotica as a side hustle, and my sex-horror anthology Futanari Halloween has been well-received by the book world's perverts. Check it out!

Something unbelievably funny almost happened yesterday.
A 155-millimeter shell fired during a live-fire demonstration for the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps at Camp Pendleton on Saturday prematurely detonated, dropping fragments of the shell on a California Highway Patrol vehicle and motorcycle that were part of Vice President JD Vance’s protective detail, according to a patrol report.
