Dear 30 sickos, I've decided to retire from the digital realm & return to civilian life. I wanted to thank all of you for the support, company & laughs over these last few years. "The House on Galloway Road" will be my last gift/curse to you. podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/col...

Nothing makes bedtime cosier than some taboo-breaking soul-violating Horror! Enjoy it while you can—I'll probably take it down again after Halloween.

Recorded a special free Halloween ghost story for you all & I'll put it up this weekend. Some ghost stories aim to terrify the listener. Some—like the Rime of the Ancient Mariner—leave the listener a "sadder & a wiser man." I hope my ghost story ruins your life. Like it ruined mine.

Absolutely fucking wild to share this elsewhere, only for people to respond with “yeah, I only use ChatGPT for personal recreation!” or “according to the laws of thermodynamics I think individual queries only use up half a bottle of water each, not a whole bottle.” Y’all…

I think I will put up a special true crime/ghost story episode of my podcast...if I can ever remember how to log in. This is not the previously mentioned project that I also hope to get out this month. It's just a fun one-off. I like ghost stories.

So, I'm working on something to share with you all for Halloween. Hopefully I'll have something to announce concretely on that shortly. I hope you've all been dealing with the seasonal change better than me!

You can't write a story about people in the world without making a series of political choices. However, many authors do this without realizing it & believe their work apolitical. Reader, consider the assumptions an author makes about human nature—there you'll find the politics.

Stories—of any genre—w/ human-like characters in material worlds ALWAYS contain political elements. Politics emerge wherever you find social relationships & resource management. Patterns of conflict & control are limited in their variety & will often echo our own experience.

I decided to take a break and reread The Name of the Rose—and what a great book for the times it is!

I only have one Cadfael audiobook read by Derek Jacobi left to go and I'm already sad of it. Have you listened to his reading of Ackroyd's Hawksmoor? You should. I looked around for what he's recorded that I don't have—picked up Le Morte d'Arthur (even tho it's abridged!!!).

imo the nicest english word is "neorxnawang" which ælfric of eynsham used in his translation of genesis to refer to the edenic paradise. it is likely, however, that the word itself had prechristian roots & originally described an afterlife concept from earlier germanic religions.

Rewriting a book is basically like the bit in the Doctor Who story Castrovalva where they're deleting TARDIS rooms to generate thrust.

I QT'd something on twitter with like a "Nice!" and a 95k follower account RT'd it, and now I'm getting spammed with infinite notes on something that's barely a sentence. So, I shall sit here in the dark for a bit.

When we teach Shakespeare it's common to say his plays are meant to be heard/watched, not read. I'd say too that Shakespeare is best understood by actors—not folks from the literature dept. Watch this now, it is very informative. Ian McKellen on MacBeth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGbZ...

Found a 25 year-old blue book exam from an Intro to Shakespeare course I took 25 years ago. I did pretty well for not having read the plays.

I find it strange that in the 21st century people are still writing histories of the Peasants' Revolt that portray the "peasants" as greedy, ignorant, ill-mannered bumpkins who deserved to be ruthlessly suppressed by the state.

Have you seen this? Alan Cumming singing "I Don't Care Much" from Cabaret. I think this is from the first '93 Donmar Warehouse revival—but don't quote me on that. This is how Shakespeare's fools should be played. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDS3...

AI's first priority being the elimination of creativity rather than drudgery tells you all you need to know about the intended purpose of AI.

In other words, it's not "inevitable" and there is in fact a point to resisting it.

With AI beating down the door, I feel we're past worrying about "good/bad" art. Art's not about achieving some ideal form. Art is ALWAYS an attempt. Did a human make it? Did you learn by making it? Did you do your best to express yourself? Art is life. Live it on your own terms.
