Very well: because the author did his own promotion, here are 5 US Kindle copies of @williammeikle.com's THE SQUARED CIRCLE: A Victorian Time Travel Adventure (The William Meikle Chapbook Collection), which I now have but haven't read. There are many sequels it seems.

Thoroughly enjoyed Joe Hill's KING SORROW. He managed to blend fantasy and horror very nicely, despite a spate of killing off of characters I was just getting interested in... A high concept horror blockbuster that wouldn't have been too out of place in the '80s heyday of them.

Killing for Christmas -- it's what Christ would have wanted...
The malignant narcissist can’t stand America trying to have a peaceful Christmas without him.

In the 70s this, and Nigel Kneale's THE STONE TAPE were a big part in setting me along the path to where I am now with my writing... they lit a spark in teenage me.
Giving this a rewatch over the break. I mentioned it in a published article years back on the BBC series The Mad Death but feel it deserves much more appreciation. Some VFX might look a little dated but it's still genuinely unsettling, made all the more convincing by the 70s Scottish setting

Trump never misses an opportunity to be soulless cunt. It's a true gift.
Trump’s response to the Reiner tragedy below.
When Trump’s miserable life ends, no-one should have to apologize for anything they might post in response.
A tragedy of a man who will have earned every morsel of scorn and hatred that will be poured onto his memory.

Caught THE RUNNING MAN last night. Should have called it THE PLODDING MAN... pretty dull and insipid and really said nothing new over the Schwarzennger version despite the updated FX work. I was mostly bored.

I'd be quite happy to define a shithole country as one that makes octogenarians go to work to stay alive.

Almost 550,000 American workers are over 80. It's one of the fastest-growing demographics in the workforce. Many were unable to save enough to retire, or had a health emergency, or had to care for adult children. Many barely get by.

America's oldest workers can't retire. Here's how they're getting by.
For America's oldest workers, retirement isn't possible. Workers in their 80s live paycheck to paycheck, use Social Security, and dip into savings.

My auld dad passed away this afternoon. Flu got him and he went quietly in his sleep. Every day of his life he showed me how to be a good man. I'll try to live up to the standard he set.

I saw that a bunch of Scottish football fans have been considering deleting their histories and signing up for social media groups called, "WE LOVE TRUMP, HONEST." in advance of trying to get in to the USA for the World Cup.

I will have a joke about Orpheus. I'm looking forward to it.
I thought I had 3 jokes about Cerberus, but I was getting ahead (and ahead and ahead) of myself.
I had a joke about Icarus but I couldn't get the punchline to land
