Some recent acquisitions. One I’m reviewing for JSJ, one I recently blurbed, and one just looks like a great discussion from scholars I highly respect.

So McLatchie responded to my videos on undesigned coincidences & mostly retreats to rhetorical variations on “it’s plausible” (to which I’ll respond later), but I appreciate he acknowledged I’m right about the “scholarly literature.” Maybe this is why Wes can’t even try to substantiate his claim.

It would’ve taken Wes Huff less time to cite a few scholarly publications that provide “detailed responses” to my concerns about UC than it did to write this evasive post citing time concerns. It’s clear Wes’s claim was a fabrication but he also just won’t be honest about it.

Love new comic book day, especially when the cover’s by David Marquez, who writes and draws a very cool new comic book called The UnChosen. It’s definitely worth checking out.
