I did a bit of research on some massive corporations and made a list assigning each of them a few evil corporations from science fiction, yay! It's like an award, except the award is shame. 🙂 Anyway, check it out. And subscribe if you like. It helps immensely. 🧡 theangrynoodle.com/6-evil-compa...

I see we get to look forward to more derelict, empty store fronts in our neighborhoods soon. Private equity: capitalist locust swarm. They come. They destroy. They leave desolation in their wake.

All of the Dems voting yes are Charlie Brown and the GOP is Lucy holding the football.

Up next on TCM, Boris Karloff, The Mummy (1932).

“I think you’re all broken in some fundamental way, but you’re not all broken in the same place. And it’s the ways you each find to work around those breaks that make you who you are.” ― Gareth L. Powell, Fleet of Knives Published by @titanbooks.bsky.social #qotd #booksky

I told myself I was done with short fiction, that I wasn't going to waste anymore writing time on it because I was tired of things not working. Then I wrote this: "Robbie had planned to stay in the day of the teleportation grid outage, until he realized he was out of coffee."

Amen!

This is a very good clip of Guillermo del Toro on the value of art. The value of human-made art is, in part, based on what the artist experienced that made them want to make the art. That is what we pay for. That is what AI does not have.

This is the internet age. Nothing is ever truly deleted...

How apt that the #PBS #AmericanMasters YouTube channel released this during spooky season. Who better to appreciate during the scariest time of the year than the author of The Raven himself? youtu.be/zankYHjNIWk?...

Did you know that Oscar Wilde has a living grandson? His name is Merlin Holland (the family changed their surname in the wake of his public persecution by the English), and he's become a historian and biographer of his grandfather. youtu.be/ZpqkK40V-sY?...

Oh, you mean most imported goods?

Watching A Man Called Otto, aka Tom Hanks Auditions For The Grumpy Old Man Remake. Not gonna lie: I don't think Hanks needed to do much acting here. Away from cameras, I'm almost certain he can be a crotchety old bastard. Yet, like Ove in Fredrik Backman's novel, it's impossible to dislike him

If anyone needs me, I'll be watching one of my favorite monster movies in corner here.

This might be this era's "Bella Ciao"...

Great to know that Kermit had joined the ranks!

Morning Funny People ☕🙃 This Week's Tuesday Title: A Night in the Lonesome October by Roger Zelazny As Halloween approaches, Snuff the Dog and his fellow familiars search through a tiny Hamlet in the countryside to determine who the players in the great game are...and where their allegiances lie.

I've contemplated the structures and concluded they're the same. The 5-Act structure is 3-Act, with Act 2 broken down further. 7-Point is 5-Act with the transitions between and within acts further detailed. So, it doesn't matter which you use; in theory, the result is the same: a story that works.

Here's the thing I don't know how to go about indie publishing. It wasn't part of the plan at first, but now with these manuscripts piling up and no serious interest from the trad structure, I'm thinking maybe it's the better route to take. Any advice?
