YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHERE IT’S BEEN:  Don’t Take the Black Pill.

APPARENTLY THIS IS STILL GOING ON:  I’m very disappointed that SacAnime has disinvited me from a Halo 25 reunion at their conference next month. If you thought we defeated Cancel Culture in 2024, guess again!

ON WEDNESDAYS MY ASSISTANT RUNS A BLAST FROM THE PAST ON MY BLOG:  Some of these are… enlightening.  The Masks are coming Off.

FROM CEDAR SANDERSON:  Fen Dead (The Groundskeeper Book 6).

In the misty fen on the edge of town, a murdered man refuses to stay buried.

Chloe Brandt, groundskeeper of Belleview cemetery and reluctant apprentice mediator to the dead, has been called in to help. The deeper she digs into the strange killing, the more she realizes some bindings run deeper than any grave.

Armed with a glowing jar of restless oil, a crew of sectretive gnomes, and more confidence than caution, Chloe must navigate deceptions and dangerous liminal spaces before the fen claims another soul. In a world where even the dead keep secrets, the only way forward is to get your hands dirty.

REAL BANNED BOOKS:  The book “Easy Meat,” the best broad overview of the rape gangs in Britain, was banned from Amazon’s store in 2021, at the height of the closure of the Internet. It has not been reinstated.

FOLLOW HER. DEFINITELY FOLLOW HER:  You Can Follow the Racist, or You Can Follow Me. There is drama and this time I caused it.

OKAY, THEN:  Weapons Is a Modern-Day Allegory of the Boomer Menace..On the surface, the film seems like a typical example of the horror genre, but underneath is an argument about the elderly preying on the young.

THINGS ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF CONTROL:  Oh, I’ve seen this kind of crap before, now it involves Flock cameras.

NEWS YOU CAN USE:  It was just revealed, not a few weeks ago, that the ludicrous and lurid allegations against Activation-Blizzard software were completely bogus; and fake outrage generated from such is what gave the Californian state government power to *force* the company to do diversity hires – with the resulting propagandization and degradation of their product afterwards being inevitable.

LIKE NUCLEAR ENERGY, IT’S HERE AND WE’VE GOT TO GET USED TO IT:  AI: We Have Already Doomed Ourselves. The AI safety summits and government rulebooks are theatre. The machines that will replace us are already more clever than we are, and there’s no putting this genie back in the bottle

WE SHOULD THANK THEM. THEY VOLUNTEERED TO DEFEND US ALL:  Thank You For Your Service.
