Tweet of the Day, I’ve Wondered This Myself About Police Dogs edition.
Albeit, not enough to go actually look it up, or anything. Heck, I’m not even doing that now. I’m as impressed at my meta-laziness as you are, probably.

Running into a snag in GARY AND THE WENDIGO.
Problem is, it works better as a love story. But Wendigos eat people. As a person, I am opposed to this. I am also opposed to making it dark. But I don’t want the Wendigo to be just a misunderstood sort of entity, either. These are all at least semi-conflicting issues to have.
It is, as they say, a puzzler.
The final TRAGEDY OF MACBETH trailer.
Not gonna lie: THE TRAGEDY OF MACBETH looks so excellently messed up. It’s stark and alarming, with all the askew intensity of a fever dream. I probably will have to watch it on Apple TV, because I don’t think it’s showing around me. Which is a shame.
Book of the Week: The Daughter of Doctor Moreau.
This is a pre-order special; I liked Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s MEXICAN GOTHIC a good deal, and I’m looking forward to The Daughter of Doctor Moreau. It looks like a fun 19th century gothic exercise involving passion and monsters, and I’m there for that sort of thing. Lord knows it can’t be more preachy than the original, either. H.G. Wells was never one to let story get in the way of a good, solid polemic…

Not-cows!
Patreon!It’s not true that you can see a not-cow herd from orbit. I mean, sure, you can see anything from orbit if your camera’s good enough. But you need to be pretty far down the gravity well before you can see the smashed trees and churned-up ground.
“You eat those?” Oft found them horrifying and fascinating, which is fair. I’d love to meet the joker who decided to name them ‘not-cows.’ Because people who’ve never seen one tend to think that they probably look bovine, and the name is just there to remind everybody that they’re not actually cows. Which is… well, that’s not even wrong.
“Just their legs,” I said. “Well, they’re sort of legs. Anyway, they don’t mind; the legs pop off anyway. It’s good for them. See how none of ‘em are above twenty feet tall? That’s how you can tell if a herd’s not being harvested regularly.”
Computer nonsense. Fixed now.
Good night.

Phil Reed’s good at his job.
On Tuesday, January 11, I'm going to make a huge mistake and unleash this on the world. I am very, very sorry and will sit in the corner and think about what I have done. https://t.co/L0if2rCesg
