@dbrodbeck.bsky.social and I chat about Arthur Carlson and Patrick Labyorteaux because doing that is better than the actual episode. @msvuenglish.bsky.social

Also I would never refer to wrestling as WWF/WWE. Not a fan of the promotion.

@plotlesspodcast.bsky.social I have this idea for a novel. And I'm working on the world building because I have a character I think is cool but have no idea what f'n plot to place him in. And, yes, the novel needs a plot. Even a nominal one. He has a specific job that requires him to do something.

Not sure I do. I absolutely hate writing the first draft. I find writing the first draft excruciating. Maybe it's because I know the first draft will be 💩. So once I have the 💩 down on paper, I can deal with it and find ways of making in better.

@plotlesspodcast.bsky.social so, am I weird because I ❤️ editing? Oh, and you know people are idiots, right? I wouldn't take my lead on literary fiction (or any) from Good Reads. I am fully clothed.

Bleak reminder that we used to see hundreds of academic jobs in the humanities posted every year at this time. Now there are maybe 3 tenure-track English lit jobs in all of Canada. AI is only further devaluing the arts in ways that are decimating how we teach and secure future positions.

@columbopodcast.bsky.social Gerry mentioned people not linking their car in Starsky and Hutch. In the 1970s, people would often not lock their cars. Some people actually left the key in the ignition. Also, Huggy was originally a pimp until the Network forced them to change it.

@columbopodcast.bsky.social about to listen to the TJ Hooker or, as I called it the Shat Does Dirty Harry. Wasn't a fan back on the day, but, as always, will be interested in what you have to say. 👍

@columbopodcast.bsky.social Enjoyed the MacGuyer episodes. I am surprised that you don't have robotic breakfasts in Scotland in the 21st century. We got them here in Canada the moment the decades changed. End of 20th nada. Beginning of the 21st? Boom! There they were. 😄

B Traven, the novel's author, also sees them as racist. That's his point. Wokeism gone mad in 1927! 😄

@columbopodcast.bsky.social Listening to your MacGyver episode. Yes, "Indians" is often used as a generic term. The novel The Treasure of Sierra Madre (film was based on) calls non-Spanish indigenous Mexicans "Indians." It is terrible. The novel's characters are quite racist.
