My favorite thing about LANTERNS is that it shows how prescient the comics were about the importance of keeping our phones charged.

I don't know what's going on with Bouchercon this year, but many writers are being denied panels (after the refund deadline has passed), and most panels have only three or four writers on them, when five has been the norm. I got a panel, but it could easily accommodate two more writers. What's up?

Today’s the day! Publication day for Waves of Burden. It’s surreal. This book and I have been on quite a journey since I wrote the first draft in 2022. I experienced so much, good and bad, as you would expect for over four years. I wrote this novel with 1/2

THE ONES IN THE CORNER is out in the world! If you fancy a strange and violent tour of an Atlanta underworld I totally made up, but probably also existed in some form, check it out. And if you like it, I’d sure appreciate you telling your friends and leaving a review on Goodreads or Amazon.

I'm sure a tangled rights situation is to blame, but there's something very obvious missing here, Criterion Channel!
The collection Alex Cox's Punk Provocations does not include Sid and Nancy.

THE BRIDE! reminded me of a lot of 80s indies - really uneven, but tried a lot of mostly enjoyable stuff. Answers the question nobody asked: What if we threw The Bride of Frankenstein in a blender with Sid and Nancy, Natural Born Killers, 30s gangsters movies and musicals, and Goth videos?

This is interesting because it challenges two widely held political assumptions: 1) that people love it when everything at the supermarket is at least $8.99 and 2) that the easiest way to win voters over is to go on TV every day and say that you need to build a big event space or you'll die.

notable that there were a few baseball teams this off-season who dabbled in unconventional/questionable/apparently ad hoc roster building strategies yet seemed to earn the benefit of the doubt based on assumptions about front office know-how and then all of those teams once the season started stunk
