Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 30/09/2026Oh, I want plenty of people to read my books, but rarely my friends and family. I don't want to fear folks who think they like and resoect me changing their mind based on my writing. My wife once read a (very short) book of mine in front of me, and it was excruciating. 100

Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026People are blaming Schmitt for not knowing about basketball teams. I wouldn't know about basketball teams, either. But Schmitt also hired a batch of people who worked on this with him; I guarantee you that he does not make posters himself. And neither him nor his workers were competent for this. 130
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026She was fun to watch.... and at the time, I had no idea who she was, had never seen her or heard of her before. All I knew was that you did not hire someone for that role unless they can deliver for That Scene, when it comes. 030
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026And I wonder how that moment serves the young uns, who have likely seen School of Rock before this, because I was certainly unaware and that moment hit hard. One disappointment of the cancellation of the fine High Fidelity TV series is not getting to see Da'Vine Joy Randolph have that moment. 150
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026When I was doing a little writing at Milestone, I pitched an issue of Kobalt which was focused on him really needing to find a bathroom and dealing with life while in that heightened state. I think that was about the time that they moved all writing in-house for $ reasons. Otherwise, who knows! 010
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026So I can order a 100-pill bottle for $4.54, or a 300 pill set, which is just three 100-pill bottles, for $18.48. Plus, I save another $1.10 if I order a least two items. Sometimes the math is not hard. 020
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 29/09/2026I seemed to me that at some point, Marvel figured not-incorrectly that most of their books were just in competition with others of their books, and if Kraven's Last Hunt wasn't on the shelves, 75% change a customer would just by some other Spider-Man. If Squirrel Girl isn't on the shelves, manga is 110
Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 28/09/2026Marvel published these as graphic novels before graphic novels were a standard format in the US. Emperor Doom has 62 pages of story. Stocked in a bookstore, the spine would be thin enough that it would almost disappear on the shelf. 130

Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 28/09/2026For clarity for those commenting: The Woman Grandmaster title (WGM) has different criteria than the Grandmaster title (GM). The Grandmaster title is not gender-specific and a woman can (and has) become a GM without being a WGM. 050

Nat Gertler, only mildly scarier @nat.gertler.com · 27/09/2026Good choice. I'd gleefully yeet Ozark to make room somewhere for "Cunk on...", and of shoving Pluribus in somewhere knocks Scandal off of the bottom, whoops, sorry. But I'm very suspicious that all 100 best shows of the century are from no later than the 2020s. Is there no good TV to come?? 020
