The Internet Has a Basement, And Nobody’s Given You The Key.
Google shows you ten percent of the web and calls it “search.” Here’s how to find the other ninety, and why the archive trying to save it all is being strangled.

And the writer scams keep coming… for the other writer whose name is very similar to mine. It’s almost amusing that whoever is sending them can’t be bothered (or is too stupid) to sort out that I’m not the same guy.

Yet another scam email for the other guy whose name is similar to mine. This time it’s from a supposed book marketing specialist. Here are my thoughts on the matter: 🖕🏻

I just took a brief spin through Instagram and almost had a seizure from all the flashy jumpy video suggested ad bullshit. I have no idea how people can use that app without needing sedation afterward.

In the oft-quoted question of "pantser" vs "plotter" could I propose a middle option? "Point-to-pointer". You have a rough idea of where you're going, but rather than a fully detailed plot you have a series of vague and moveable way points that lead toward a roughly outlined ending.

No specifics because that would be unseemly, but every now and then I get a rejection and am like, what the country-fried fuck? The essay in question will get published sooner or later because my work generally does, but I’m having an intensely battered and seasoned moment.

I would add that this is one of 3 author scams I’ve been targeted by in the last few weeks. Yes, you read that right: 3. And in the space of weeks. I’m in a pretty foul mood tonight because of how much these scams undermine what little trust and integrity were left in this enshittified ecosystem.

Literary scam alert. Someone is impersonating Johnny Temple, one of the publishers at Akashic Books. They contact you out of the blue claiming to have read a recent book and soliciting a manuscript. They then get back to you sometime later offering editorial services. A strange experience. (Thread)

I’d call Gotcha Day a success. Indigo didn’t like being bundled into a cat carrier, and the trip home took a little longer than ideal, but we made it. After hiding under the bed for an hour and a half, the little dude decided to come out and say hi. He likes headbutts. I am for this.

I have pretty severe IBS, so the American ass-blow epidemic is a deeply nasty “welcome to my world” moment. It shouldn’t be happening at all, but maybe it’ll also be a wake-up call to improve public restrooms there. When and if sanity is ever restored.

Last night this fox was hanging out on the sidewalk near the station. He let me come quite close (I didn’t try to touch him). I asked how he was doing, but he didn’t say anything. I thought he might have been injured or sick but he might also have been relaxing and indifferent to humans.
A fox.
