We’ve seen how their marketing campaign led, with hailing virtue signalling and making claims that weren’t true to say how ‘diverse’ they were, to being straight forward that the villainous Klingons — who in no way resemble Klingons — were simply Trump supporters in disguise. With the show getting terrible reviews from people who actually […]

In the storied tradition of great magazines like Cirsova and Astounding Frontiers, Storyhack promotes making science fiction fun again, focusing on both genres: Action and Adventure.

Interview With Me: Keystroke Medium
I love getting interviewed especially on Monday mornings after playing keyboards at Church all Sundays. My hands are very sore so I don’t like to type a lot on days like this, and it saves me from writing a blog post 🙂 Will be up in a few minutes.
Star Trek: Discovery Review & Thoughts
https://www.pscp.tv/w/1OdKroVDnVXGX In case you missed it across social media. I watched this train wreck so you don’t have to.
Warriors Superstar Steph Curry To Right: Don’t Watch The NBA
Yesterday, in a team meeting, Steph Curry made a flippant comment about the White House visit for the NBA Champions, stating that if it were up to him, the discussion would be short, implying he would never go to the White House. The comment is yet another in a long line of powerful entertainment virtue […]
The Limit To My Patience
I had a commenter just now look up information about my 8 year old son and start ranting about me. It’s the only comment I’ve deleted in recent memory. There is a line, you harassing my children is it. If you post stuff like that I will get your IP and I will send it […]
My Policy On Reaching Out
I’ve come under so many attacks as of late it feels like it never ends. This is what happens when you expose problems in industries via journalism. I may have bitten a bit more off than I can chew by pointing out the terrible problems in Science Fiction AND in comics, but they both are […]
Star Trek: Discovery Trying Too Hard To Virtue Signal
This is going to be a disaster. Everyone sees this from everything they release. Even with their marketing efforts they are so far off the mark and insulting to fans by their attempts to make this show a pure identity politics showcase that they flat lie to journalists: How Sonequa Martin-Green became the first black […]
SFWA President Appears To Break Org Rules In Escalating Feud With Hispanic Author
It was an interesting day to say the least yesterday, as I couldn’t have anticipated SFWA President Cat Rambo threatening a lawsuit over my ask for her to appear as a guest on my youtube show. As I discussed on my periscope, my thought was to talk RPGs and writing — since we both are […]
Can Anything Be Done About Comics?
It’s been a crazy, drama filled weekend in the wide world of comics. Marvel writers have doubled down on attacking reviewers/commentators, some like Nick Spencer going off on how vitriolic rhetoric is — forgetting about the incredibly charged and hateful political rhetoric not just most, but all of the Marvel writers have engaged in that […]
Clarkesworld On Story Submissions and Acceptances
I reached out to several editors regarding my statistics I found in analyzing monthly short fiction outlets that take submissions last week. I did the research into that very large cross-section of the industry primarily because of the way one magazine treated me in asking the question to begin with – encouraging their followers to […]
Periscope Ponderings: Why Don’t More People Do Independent Journalism
The answer may be obvious to some, but I give some encouragement too: https://www.pscp.tv/w/1YqKDRBQMNYJV
