Self-published books are amazing.
Their quality, value, and diversity are excellent.
To claim otherwise is a skill issue.

"SETTRA DOES NOT SERVE! SETTRA RULES!" is 2nd best moment in Warhammer history, following only the moment Settra defies the chaos gods themselves.
Nagash, the great necromancer himself. Long whispered about in the darkest corners of the lore, he returns with one goal: to drown the world in undeath.
Lords of the End Times — the next DLC for Total War: WARHAMMER III — is coming Summer 2026.

I considered writing a long carefully constructed argument laying out the harms and limitations of AI, but instead I wrote about being a hater. Only humans can be haters.
I Am An AI Hater
I am an AI hater. This is considered rude, but I do not care, because I am a hater.

Every time I am in Atlanta for work, I pass signs telling me how to get to Beaver Ruin Road. And I wonder. How did it get that name? What is the story? How ruined was that beaver, to make us talk about it to this day?

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

One night in Arda makes a Dark Lord humble
When you're out there killing the two trees
One night in Arda and the mountains crumble
A giant spider brings you to your knees
When you're out there killing the two trees

A giant spider brings you to your knees

I proudly fight The War On Christmas because Elf on the Shelf is like 10 years old but people act like it is an old tradition. Its creepy, wrong, and 100% responsible for the growing acceptance of a militarized surveillance state.

It's odd how much people get into Savatage this time of year. You know you can listen to power metal whenever you want, even if they're not currently called Trans-Siberian Orchestra at the moment, right?

Hope. Your enemies are in power, so entrenched that the people they rule think it is the most natural thing in the world. Your friends are scattered and broken. But you can stand up and fight back. You can draw your sword, point it at the enemy, and charge. Hope is what carries the story forward.

The secret to making a good cheeseburger is that for every vegetable you place in your burger, add one extra patty, another slice of cheese, then subtract a vegetable.

It is rare that I manage to be happy with a picture of me, but this is a good one. I'm in my natural habit. Walking through the woods on a crisp autumn day, talking bullahit about fantasy fiction. #Writer
