Robert Tracinski wrote a nice article this morning on what it would look like to have a Culture War win. Visionary writing like this is necessary because we have to be able to envision the goal’s results if we’re going to figure out how to get there. However, I also think it’s premature. It’s only […]

Review: Rocky Mountain Retribution by Peter Grant
Peter Grant’s Brings The Lightning was my favorite fiction work of 2016, so I was thrilled to see a sequel come out this year. The first story is one of travelling west, working hard, and persevering through all sorts of adversity. It’s really a testament to the American dream, perfect thematically for a western and […]
Oh, There Are No Problems In The Industry
“I just don’t want to get involved.” “You’re just too negative these days.” “Extremist.” “I don’t like the way you’re doing things not necessarily what you’re saying.” I hear it all the time. Every time there’s a contingent of industry professionals or wannabe professionals who want to impress the old guard who’s rapidly losing their power in […]
Periscope: Playing The “I Don’t Want To Be Associated With…” Game
It’s a foolish game, and it’s a big one in comics and science fiction. It’s an enemy tactic to actually hurt independent thinkers in culture to force us into divisions that are rather pointless. I give my thoughts on it. One of my more important periscopes and worth a watch. https://www.pscp.tv/w/1nAJEWvvByXKL Alternatively, I will have […]
Alt-Hero Gets Mainstream Media Attention
https://pjmedia.com/lifestyle/vox-days-alt%e2%9c%b0hero-comic-book-answers-call-right-wing-challenge-sjw-marvel/ A nice article on the project, of which I’m excited to be a part of. It’s really making waves in culture because of how hungry people are for content that doesn’t signal to SJWs. Very encouraging. And with Chuck Dixon and my involvement, you can be sure it’s going to be awesome fun. Do […]
Interview With Dragon Award Nominee Daniel Humphreys
Yesterday, Daniel Humphreys released the second book in his popular zombie fiction series, A Place Called Hope. He stopped by the blog here to answer a few questions about the book and series: Zombies have been all over the media these last ten years with a lot of books, comics, films and tv shows. What inspired you […]
Marvel Comics Editor: All Men Are “Part Of The Problem” #ComicsGate
The implication is clear: all men are evil and abusers if only by proxy. Not to mention this is quite the marginalizing of male victims of sexual abuse. It reminds me of the way I saw a lot of posts this last year with you say “I’m not” that’s exactly what a Nazi WOULD say. […]
4chan vs. Shia Labeouf Season 7
This has been the most compelling reality show on the internet, probably of all time. I blogged about it a few months ago when the first couple of seasons of capture the flag occurred, so far with 4Chan undefeated even into this seventh season. Now the stakes are so much higher, and the flag is […]
The Book 20 Years In The Making
Last night I finished up my edits on what will be the first in what I hope will be many space opera / military SF novels set in this particular universe. It’s titled The Stars Entwined and follows an Internal Affairs investigator for humanity’s Interplanetary Navy as he navigates a powder keg of a political situation […]
The Orville’s Ratings
I’ve been talking about The Orville almost every week, reviewing each episode on my Periscope thus far (which you can follow here where I do daily broadcasts live, or I upload to Youtube later here ). It’s a fabulous show, capturing the heart and soul of Star Trek in a way I haven’t seen since Voyager. About […]
Star Trek Discovery Goes Full Toxic
As if it hadn’t already. When they started shutting down fan productions because of the show, we knew there was going to be trouble. When the producer started talk of “levels of diversity” we knew it wasn’t going to be much but a political show. They doubled down in their advertisements, stating the Klingons (who […]
Smoke And Fire
I’m not directly in the fire in CA, but I’m close enough where the smoke has made the air pretty unbreathable. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but because my kid has a lung condition and I thought it’d be best if we high-tailed it out of California for the sake of his breathing. We’re […]
