Haven't done one of these in a long while, so... Hi, folks. I'm Todd. I write horror and weird fiction, have authored several books (DEVIL'S CREEK, SCANLINES, THE SUNDOWNER'S DANCE, et al.), and designed several books as well (Dullington Design Co). It's great to meet y'all!
I bought a pack of 50 archival sleeves for my records. Figured that would be plenty and then some...
Turns out I have more than 50 albums. A lot more. 😂

PSA: Hey US authors! If you're trad or indie published, hound your publisher or get your agent to include in any contract that your work is registered with the Library of Congress. If you are self-published, do it yourself. It's an expense and a hassle, but worth it.

Then why are all the starving artists I know vehemently opposed to LLM extruders, while every marketing manager and would-be Bitcoin bro under the sun is using them to generate shit self-caricatures and write LinkedIn posts nobody reads?
"Being anti AI is class privilege! Poor people can't afford to learn how to make art without it!"
Yes. Famously, all artists are extremely wealthy.

Chico Marx walks into Groucho’s office at Spyglass. “Okay boss, remember when-a you told us to figure out a way to top the bad press? I did it!”
Groucho: “You dummy, I said find a way to STOP the bad press.”

Fellow writers/directors/producers: It is vitally important not only to secure the ladder behind you while you ascend, but also to make sure there are many women on it as well. Mentorship without strings is essential and there are so few real opportunities for women...because of this exact problem.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Ronald Reagan's disastrous experiment is over, we don't have to wonder where deregulated capitalism will lead anymore. It's in front of us now, played out far longer than it should have, and people are finally seeing that it sucks ass. We have to radically reverse course, or we're cooked.
