In the US right now, folks are putting in their votes for the next president, but I feel like you guys are ignoring the best possible candidate:

SHOULD I BE EDITING YES! BUT MOTHERF**K** HAS ME UNHINGED.

GQ: When did you know you were good at playing bad?** Walton Goggins: **It’s interesting, because I never set out in this business to be a villain. I didn’t want to be the robber growing up, I wanted to be the cowboy. But unfortunately, that’s not how this industry saw me. So what I’ve tried to do is infuse my villains with as much empathy as possible. I really believe that without seeing someone three-dimensionally, you have no feelings for them as an actor or as a viewer.

William Gibson on Shadowrun

Three days ago, Catalyst Game Labs, the current makers of Shadowrun, tweeted that:

"Something new is coming January 24th…"

along with the following image:

seems buggy...

On the eve of whatever this announcement will be, it seems like a good time to remind everyone that the philosophical father of cyberpunk, William Gibson, hates Shadowrun.

There's a quote from Gibson in 1998 that I've quoted before, but after some digging I found the original source, in an interview with Ben Lincoln.

For those not in the know, this is from The Peak, the independent college newspaper of Simon Fraser University, which is hands-down my favorite Canadian institute of higher education named after a fur trapper.

A quite dapper trapper, as you can see.

Five years later, Gibson would bring up Shadowrun on his own blog:

I haven't been able to find any further comments from W.G. in the twenty years hence, so apparently kept good on his intention.

So he probably won't care about what I'm planning next...

Human existence is so fascinating because we build fucking empires in our heads, pry the world apart to know its every secret, argue about philosophy which would not even be relevant if not for those cerebral empires, find music and art and science in every corner of our natural world, but like... if we need to burp or sneeze and our body just Doesn't, everything shuts down.

My entire emotional and physical equilibrium fucking jams up because I need to expel a narsty gas from my face hole before I can sleep. And some of us are kings???

maybe this is a texas thang but I'm really shocked by the dissonance of everyone in queer online spaces shouting 'no cops at pride!' 'ACAB' 'Pride is a riot!' and then all the photos and art I'm seeing from local pride events is 'here's me with a cop!' 'here's a line of police horses aren't they majestic' 'here's my friend with that same cop!' 'here's an Israeli media company float.' 'And a rainbow cop car!'

I know I’m gorgeous and everyone in the whole world is attracted to me like a beautiful broad but it could be nice to use a pronoun other than she, I dunno…

Why are you calling your sister “babe”??? Sir????

So apparently the same hacks who did the awful Winnie The Pooh and Steamboat Willy horror flicks are doing Peter Pan now. Funny enough, I was just watching that one with my little cousin a few days ago.

I really hate this sort of thing. There is more than enough room for a "darker" take on Peter already baked into Barry's work. He is childhood, and as anyone can tell you, children are awfully cruel. If something strikes him as amusing, for even a moment, he's just going to do it. No rationale, no impulse control, just pure, unfettered id. Peter is already terrifying, you don't need to make him a psychotic slasher villain. It's all so painfully trite.

I realize with this random post I run this risk of exposing my age and/or beating the screeching horse of my sonic proclivities, though this is meant merely as an observation of a coffee shop veteran.

Remember when hearing a Van Morrison song at a coffee shop instigated an instant eye-roll (mind you, I like some old Van Morrison, and I know he's a nut now, so please to skip over that...)?

Well, as one of those who use whatever local java joint as their daily "office," I can assure you that this song, below, has reached that eye-rolling level in about 1/16th the amount of time as any Van tune.

Please, coffee shop owners and managers, please create playlists, pick Spotify stations, or better yet install a multi-disc CD player that will encourage your staff to use non-Top 40 pap for your shops.

Something tells me when the Beats created this whole template they didn't have to listen to Mitch Miller or Bing Crosby when they hung out at Caffe Reggio.

Why do people only care about Glynda when they make her character revolve around Ironwood?
