Love this story from Justin's Lloyd's Jim Varney biography about how Varney landed a deal with Touchstone Pictures because his ride on a pace car at the 1985 Indianapolis 500 dwarfed an appearance from Mickey Mouse.

Convention season is about to start, just as a new variant of COVID is spreading that people describe as like swallowing razor blades. Socials are going to be full of con pictures. Are we going to see any masks in them? I want to believe y'all care.

Walmart & Target are forced to raise prices due to tariffs. The price of a Jurassic World T. Rex toy went from $39.92 on 4/27 to $55 on 5/21 - 𝟯𝟴% higher. "We'll keep prices as low as we can for as long as we can given the reality of small retail margins." www.businessinsider.com/walmart-pric...

I just finished writing and sending my response to Kobo's recent ToS update. They've updated their ToS to include the use of AI to summarize, categorize, and market books. Now is an excellent time to share your valid concerns about this implementation. kobowritinglife.com/2025/05/29/a...

The secret to a financially successful career in self-published books is this: -make what you love without artificial timelines. -own your work. -aim for individual sales more than wholesale. (2k fans that buy every single book you create is infinitely better than 10k books sold wholesale.)

Hey aurora nerds (anyone with a camera who wants to see sky lights, phone cameras count), looking like we’re in for a possible treat starting Sunday evening North American time. Charge those batteries, download notification apps, find a local dark sky location, this could (could!) be a good one.
