I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this, and can confirm, this is worth preordering! - v cool and weird - Themes - sex is good, but want to get back-to-back smacked with a meme and then uppercut with a comedy bit suddenly having deep emotional significance? - obviously you do - great cat names

MAGA influencers like Ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk pretend Taylor Swift is turning into a tradwife, to manipulate their incel audiences. In reality, her engagement to Travis Kelce reflects feminist values — and could even be called a feminist fantasy. www.salon.com/2025/08/28/t...

Taylor Swift is not the tradwife you're looking for

Screenwriting pro-tip: put a specific date in your script so that once a year the internet meme machine will promote your movie for free. (It helps if the rest of your script is as brilliant as Hot Fuzz, Miss Congeniality, or Mean Girls)

HOT FUZZ:
"When's your birthday?"
"22nd of February."
"What year?"
"Every year."

A month or so ago I saw a post by someone saying "we should all admit that Neil Gaiman has always been a shitty writer." That whole knee jerk revisionism. No, man, that's part of the whole horror. He's an internationally recognized writer. Objectively a good writer. But he's also a fucking monster.
