The NYCC Dispatch, or, The Art of Creative Fulfillment
At first, I attributed the post-NYCC ConDrop to the fact that it was a quick turn-around show for me. After some reflection, though, I realized it was less because I wasn't tired (because I assure you...

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

TFW you get an FYC email for a screenplay so impressively bad that countless critics — yourself included — went out of their way to write about its audacity.

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

This one of many reasons why critics are still important. It’s our job to seek out art that’s outside the algorithm, because most people don’t even know what their options are anymore.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Give yourself this gift this holiday season. Folks like this do eventually need to be reached, but that's work that's only really going to be effective in person from someone they trust and that's not your business.
Take what peace you can in your online spaces.

No, I haven’t stopped shrieking about this for the last hour. But the stuffings in the oven so at least my rage was useful in herb chopping.
Totally fine that this should be a THREE POINT GAME.

Greetings, I have traveled through time from the year 2016 to remind you of something that has become increasingly difficult to believe in your time: Stranger Things used to be good.
It Might Be the Most Popular TV Show in the World. It Keeps Getting Worse and Worse.
There’s a pretty glaring problem with Stranger Things’ final season.
