It seems I’ve ended up on an every-two-weeks schedule for the linky. But stubbornly I refuse to stop blogging! I know my enormous* fandom needs me! That’s why they never comment, the emotional stakes are too high! <\/p>\n
*I haven’t had any visitor numbers for this blog for several years, so I think it’s reasonable to presume that over that time my audience has grown ten-thousand-fold.<\/p>\n
Huge numbers of us are now writing for an audience – thinking in public. And this is changing how we think.<\/a> Svend sent me this noting it was part of why he writes up reviews of every film he sees at the film fest each year<\/a> (he sees LOTS of films) – and it’s the same reason I [used to] use this blog to talk about things that bugged me or were on my mind. Writing for an audience here helps me think things through, to assemble a mess of thoughts into a structure and take it a few more steps than I can manage otherwise.<\/p>\n Oh man. A project set up so prisoners in long-term solitary confinement (in the US, of course) get to request a photo be taken just for them, of any subject they want<\/a>.<\/p>\n Methods for fighting internet trolls (instead of just trying to starve them)<\/a> (via Hugh Dingwall)<\/p>\n Lucha Libro! Competitive short-story writing, wearing wrestling masks, in Peru<\/a>. (Harlan Ellison would destroy at this…)<\/p>\n In the buildup to the Breaking Bad finale, Dangerous Minds linked to “the best ever analysis of a scene in a TV show”<\/a>. I only watched the first two seasons of BB so haven’t watched this, but I figure someone out there will be interested…<\/p>\n I am 90% sure that these dinosaur-human erotica books are a prank<\/a>, and not a genuine expression of someone’s weird fetishes. They just seem a little too contrived. But still. [EDITED TO ADD: ayup<\/a>]<\/p>\n Archive of classic comedy monologues<\/a>, particularly lots of Vaudeville standards.<\/p>\n The great American novel has already been written, and it was the first 27 years of the Fantastic Four comic<\/a>.<\/p>\n A plausible explanation for the origin of the Tarot?<\/a> (via Allen Varney)<\/p>\n EW’s lengthy Joss Whedon interview<\/a><\/p>\n Bitcoin: super convenient if you’re homeless, apparently<\/a>.<\/p>\n *sigh* The cast of Twin Peaks at the 1990s Emmys<\/a><\/p>\n The gender advertising remixer, Lego edition<\/a><\/p>\n Sugar association advertising madness<\/a>.<\/p>\n And finally, via d3vo… the sea pig
