🚨 NEW BOOK 🚨

Show of hands if you play dopamine-heavy sci fi video games like No Man’s Sky to keep feeding your brain on perpetually novel flora, fauna, and boldly colorful solar systems so you stay inspired to finish plotting and worldbuilding a science fiction novel series?

I finished Ian M. Banks’ Consider Phlebas this weekend.
Banks is such a good writer that I am both inspired and intimidated by his excellence…
Plus, it feels like it was written yesterday—the true mark of a classic!
(Bonus points to the cover designer for putting type so close to the bleed!)

What crowdfunding looks like. Years of engagement, then a flood of support when you need it most. Amirite, @mmasnick.bsky.social ?

This year, I’m wanting to be creative more often.
I’ve been spending a lot of time on the business of creativity, on the selling of art, to the exclusion of creating the art.
Art is a panacea for stress, anxiety… all that mental muck.
Our legacy is our art. Go make something.

Today’s #TNYT: why are there no #TikTok riots? “It’s a place to waste time, to numb out, to unplug from reality and float in the feed. That passive, dissociative quality, while great for engagement, also makes it feel more replaceable. If it goes away, we’ll just get our fix somewhere else.”

In 2000, Netflix wanted to sell to Blockbuster for just $50 million.
10 years later, Blockbuster declared bankruptcy.
Netflix is now ranked #25 in the WORLD—higher than Wells Fargo, Coca-Cola, McDonald,or Disney.
Moral? Disrupt your own business before others can.
Bluesky is coming for you, X.

In 1989, I found Richard McGuirre’s 6 panel strip Here and I snipped it out of RAW magazine.
In 2014, I saw “Here “and “McGuirre” on a book at the Imprint Bookstore (the blurred background ad) and bought it—sight unseen.
I’m happy they waited to make this into a film. Worth the wait!

The secret behind Trump’s strategy? Disrupt the “OODA Loop”, a military acronym to assist you in combat:
OBSERVE
ORIENT
DECIDE
ACT
By attacking / “owning the libs” / trolling, Trump is always preventing others from orienting, and thus deciding and acting.
Counterattack? Ignore, decide, act.

Who else is doing #NaNoWriMo this year? I bought a #FreeWrite a few years ago and just dusted it off again. These things are super fun. (I don’t get commission or anything—I just love them.)
