No doubt a lot of you have heard rumblings about the lawsuits against Patreon, their very odd responses and complete doubling down when they clearly violated California consumer protection laws. It’s all real. I know the details of it, and they’re in worse shape as a company than you might think they are. For small […]

The Redskins Bend The Knee
Washington’s NFL franchise has announced that it is retiring the Redskins name, and plans to introduce a new name soon. Monday’s announcement comes just days after the organization released a statement July 3 saying it would be undertaking a “thorough review” of the team’s name, a process the team said in Monday’s announcement has “begun in earnest.” […]

SFWA Blog Job -Whites Need Not Apply
SFWA posted a job offer for someone to cull through blog posts and do initial edits on Wednesday. Much like their other initiatives as of late, it’s the color of one’s skin which is most important to them, not the content of one’s work: BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) and other marginalized candidates […]

Is Art Like This Even Legal In Current Year?!
Ethan Van Sciver – A Men’s Whisper Gossip Circle
All of comics internet was losing their minds because of a post by a site I won’t link regarding “whisper circles” in comics. It came down to a bunch of women in a facebook group bitching about men. Everyone is “shocked and appalled” by this, and of course the site that posted the article’s owners […]

If JK Rowling Cared About CANCEL CULTURE, She’d Do This…
Why Do We Care About Licensed Fan-Fic?
I saw a great post on twitter from Devin Grayson, somewhat ironically a former Batman writer for DC, which got me thinking about our culture in general. I love this advice. Like what you like, ignore what you don’t. There’s no “canon” that’s for real in anything fiction, as none of it is real. It […]
DC Comics Writers HARASS Superman Actor!
Mech Training – EXCLUSIVE For Patreon
Over the weekend I released my new novella, Mech Training, which follows my Steam Knight James Gentry’s adventures as the saga of Rislandia unfolds.

If Trad Pub Did It To Heinlein, What Will They Do To You?
All the way back in 1948, the golden age of science fiction, Heinlein had just finished with Rocket Ship Galileo, a masterpiece of fun fiction, moving onto his next project after such a rounding success. This one is Red Planet, an allegory for the American revolution, dealing with company bureaucrats who are messing with colonists […]

Twitter Steps Up Its Purge Of Right-Wing Commentators
Just when it looked like things calmed down on the Twitter front, they’ve reversed direction again. I’ve noticed a big difference in the last month with engagement, a lack of throttling, finally getting new followers again. It’s been a new experience with shadowbans looking like they’ve been removed. But as soon as Carpe Donktum’s video […]
Why I’m Not On Parler
I’ve seen far too many of these instances in the last couple of years, proclaiming a great alternative to Twitter and Facebook, going to revolutionize everything. They come up too fast, they’re not ready for prime time, and there’s always a major issue with the platform. Parler seems to have a few issues with it: […]
Nebula Award-Nominated Author PULLS Story From SFWA Anthology — Because Of Their Racism!
Chuck Wendig — Predator Defender?
With all the #MeToo allegations in sci-fi and comics this last week, it’s no surprise it’s come back around to everyone’s favorite Library destroyer, Chuck Wendig, famous prior to this for writing poor star wars books and inserting sexual deviancy into them: How terrible to be such a fake ally to the feminist community to […]
