In 2001, I was a big fan of The Princess Diaries, both the film and the book. The author’s website was the first author site I ever visited, and at some point, she bragged about one of the Princess Diaries installments being “banned” from a library. I just did a search on her website (megcabot.com) …
Superversive SF linked to a Vulture article about the Twitter furore over The Black Witch by Laurie Forest. It’s called “The Toxic Drama on YA Twitter.” I still have yet to finish the book, by the way. I have to admit, it’s way too preachy for my taste. Just way too much, and it’s not fun …
Whenever a European celebrity does an interview in print or on TV, the American “journalist” or host conducting the interview goes out of their way to trash the US and its culture. It’s sort of like, “aren’t these people pathetic? They’re just so gross and fat and ignorant. They can’t even find Austria on a …
The odious Kathy Griffin decided to pose for a photograph in which she held up a bloody mask designed in the likeness of President Trump. The backlash was pretty severe – loads of leftists and people on the left and the right denounced it. Today, CNN decided to terminate the contract they had with her. …
I’m a gamer. I don’t think I am a particularly good gamer, but I’ve been playing games ever since I was a very small child. In fact, I kind of would rather play Elder Scrolls Online right now, but I have to have dinner soon, so yeah. I have heard of the Far Cry series, …
I was moseying around on the Internet and came across this op-ed at the New York Times (yes, ew). It is entitled “Why You Should Read Books You Hate” and is written by Pamela Paul. (Here is an archive.is link for those who don’t want to give NYT the hits, or in case they put …
Another day, another ZOMG SHE’S RACIST U GUISE campaign. Yes, the vicious social justice warrior feminazi hags are on the march for yet another scalp. They nearly destroyed Keira Drake’s literary career before it began, of which resulted in the year-long delay of her debut novel’s release (presumably, as I stated earlier, to make the …
I just read through the lyrics for the song “Samaritan” by ionnalee, and it’s anti-Christian, with a hefty bit of whining about her fans being “impatient” for new material from her. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, my post “Beyonce is not a goddess” explains it all. This line pissed me off: “I …
And for that matter, neither is Jonna Lee, aka ionnalee. I don’t really listen to mainstream music, opting for obscure musicians from around the world. One of my favorites is a Swedish audio/visual project called iamamiwhoami, led by Jonna Lee (who had a solo career before starting iamamiwhoami). This group made their debut in late …
It’s like, 5:40 in the morning and I cannot sleep. I have to wake up at 6:30 am to get ready for work and some strange things have been happening, like my TV turning on randomly to a different input than the one I left it in (and to top it all off, it tuned …
