also, literary fiction "for men" and "for women" is a stupid idea. I think that if you're working with that in mind you probably aren't writing/publishing literary fiction

LRT--men simply don't buy new books in meaningful numbers right now. If anything publishes OVERindexes in trying to court them, given who gets to write what. it is not the publishing industry's fault that young men don't read

A man asked me last night what publishing needs to do for literary fiction to begin appealing to men again. I said, as nicely as I could, that, with over 2,000 books published every Tuesday, of which many would appeal to men, it’s not a publishing problem, it’s a men problem.

No money for anything besides missiles, but also the missiles we spent all that money on don’t work and don’t even exist. I’ve watched this before

Kyler I’m not trying to change you. I’m trying to turn you loose. Put down the playbook and pick up the sticks

If I’m the Vikes I sign Kyler and put a clause in his contract that demands he become even MORE of a gamer. Xbox achievement benchmarks etc

I had an idea for a short story in which a US soldier goes to war with an AI anime waifu in his heads up display giving him constant bad advice and Warfighter bromides until it gets him killed, but I dismissed it as being a mid-season Black Mirror episode at best. HOWEVER-

toronto sceptres losing the pwhl broadcast poll to "i hope both teams have fun" is humiliating in a way i've never seen happen to a sports franchise before
