Check out Corey Doctarow’s ‘Reverse Centsur’ book on AI - he has a whole section on which copyright laws apply to the scraping of web sites for content, and how artists and creatives should be doubling (or tripling) down on the sections that will benefit us. It’s a great read, and he knows his shit.

To be fair: bars are VERY people-y. That takes a lot of energy. 👍

I hear ya. I mainly use a mouse too, to alter and tweak photographs - curves and color saturation, sometimes tweak some lines. Not full-on hardcore disposal image creation. I linked it because it’s a well-established, free Photoshop alternative for folks who DON’T need all the PS bells/whistles. ❤️👍

I hate it when the The Sads just… appear. No warning. Just there all at once.

New short story in the can, Back To Blood Mountain. A tale of Appalachian myths, monsters, and the attention economy. Needs a cool-off and an edit pass, but it’s good to finish another one. 👍

And it opens up the possibility of a Star Trek/Warhammer 40K crossover. 😂

RabbleWriter (Matthew Cook) @matthewcookwriter.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Weird how polarizing that episode turned out to be. Which, let’s face it, is probably EXACTLY why Paramount did it. I haven’t seen it yet, but have found the current season to be be… not that good TBH. The haunted house episode was ok-ish Event Horizon fan-fic I guess.

Surprisingly deep mechanics + great job framing the weird Lore + excellent production values = worth checking out if you’re a TTRPG player looking for something a bit different. Published by @greenroninpub.bsky.social

So Guardians of the Galaxy 2 isn’t a great film. BUT. I love that James Gunn picked ‘Brandy’ for the song the Bad Dad keeps quoting - a song about terrible men endlessly hitting on a barmaid while straight-up admitting that they were gonna be terrible to her if she married them. *Chef kiss*

The Last of Us, season one, is a great piece of television because: - Every episode goes SO HARD, showing us different, intensely personal stories and - It has SUCH good bad guys - every one really seems like someone who just… collapsed under the strain. Chilling…

I had a win today as well! Finished and sent a pitch document to a game publisher for a proposed collection of adventures in a Cosmic Horror TTRPG setting. ❤️👍

Actually… that’s all the stuff I struggle with. The world does NOT need more pablum advice like ‘wrote what you love’ - it needs more ‘OK, you figured out how to write… NOW what the hell do you do?’ tips.

Costco runs it's own rigorous food inspection program. And they didn't bend the knee on DEI. Plus, they dropped Callaway Golf after their horrific ad depicting violence against women. And they are refusing to carry trump meat. So that's where I'll be shopping.
