Back cover and blurb from the forthcoming novel We Make You Feel Sane.

Awaiting proofs of my debut novel, We Make You Feel Sane. I feel like a kid at Christmas. After publishing a ton in my field, this is unknown territory! Cover art from Jeffry Everett below. You know his work from @gaslightanthem.bsky.social posters, and a bunch of other cool bands.

When a leader speaks that leader dies

You won't have to follow me

Only you can set you free

Check out Albanese bears, tropical flavor, unfrozen. Sublime.

Very well done. I’ve enjoyed it.

A diatribe on the dysfunction of LinkedIn

This guy had one of the wildest interviews I have ever read in Tape Op magazine a couple of years ago. Seek it out. It is mind- bending.

You still had 100 characters left to use after the text in this post. You could have included this sentence (69 characters).

There is no evidence that ivermectin works as a treatment for cancer.

Looks like Starmer just announced you are, too. None of this is good.

I need an iPhone app where any scammer agent that says the word “credit” gets immediately disconnected. Whatcha got, people?

Shim the cleat.

More commonly, we use “syndrome” when we don’t know WTF is going on. But “complex” is right up there, too! 😂

Hello, students. Meet your blue exam book. You will have three hours to complete this exam.

This is really interesting!

Tomatoes. Fruit that tastes like a vegetable. Underhanded.

Every academic, in particular, every academic who suddenly discovered that they were a token interviewee in a hiring process that had already been decided, should read Tobias Wolff’s short story “In the Garden of the North American Martyrs.” Just brilliant.

This is a very well written description of the mostly unexamined drive I feel to make and share my art. The more anti-culture gets pushed at me the more compelled I feel to make my own

Look at that reach for the line! Born competitor!

Not as thrilling as the dog on the downhill course, but extra style points for congeniality and being a good boy when met by the race marshal.

The thing management fails to realize as they replace workers with “cheap” AI is that once they fire everyone, and that talent pool loses its skillset, the AI companies are going to jack up the prices to cost even more than their workers do.

That’s the scam. It’s not complex.

Yes. Before vaccines, too.

Joseph Campbell noted that if you do not have your own life adventure, cynicism and bitterness can set in and you might then become one of "the world's policemen," the enforcer of laws and consensus value judgments, patrolling your little world to ensure everything stays in place.

Hot take of the day:

I’m not huge into horror, but this is a very cool story.

I primarily object to the cheesy cover art of the 80s romances my mother used to read when I was a kid. All the men had hair like Fabio and chests like Ricardo Montalban. And the horses. Always horses. 😂
