Horror short film: “THE PICKMAN MODEL.”
The “Okay. It’s a martial arts flick” SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGEND OF THE TEN RINGS clip.
Via @IMAO_, who is likewise nodding along sagely. As Tom Vargas might say: about what you’d expect from the Order of St. Jackie.
Shang-Chi most DEFINITELY knows how to fight in this new clip from Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. pic.twitter.com/lfbdZK1yh1

Elon Musk spins the Wheel of the Blue Sky, and it lands on…
…”android:”
Elon Musk is actually building a Tesla Bot, with a prototype intended to be revealed next year. https://t.co/mRZDPcB3sT

Here’s the thing about Musk’s Wheel of Blue Sky, though: sometimes it lands on something he can actually make. Mostly rockets, sure, but he is also busily putting up an orbital telecommunications network, and the electric car thing is actually quite a bit further along than I thought it’d get. My wife’s raised an eyebrow over the android thing, and I don’t blame her – but while it’s smart to bet against the Tesla bot, it’s also smart to put down a reasonable amount of speculative money on it succeeding, too. You never know.

I’m editing some chapters, and then…
…going to bed. My sleep patterns have been getting mixed up, and I have to stop that before it degrades further. Better to not keep going along on the same cycle of poor planning and and missed deadlines.
It’s been a rough week for all of us, I think.

You would think she would be cautious about returning to the scene of the crime, as it were.
You would think.

Cover to MORGAN BAROD back from the artist!
Things, as they say, proceed.
MORGAN BAROD is not yet available for pre-order; be sure to check out my other books in the meantime. Still hoping for a September 1st release, but it may end up being delayed a week or two. Publishing, alas, is not an exact science.
In the E-mail: the @HPLHS’s DART THE HORROR IN THE MUSEUM.
I don’t know whether THE HORROR IN THE MUSEUM is available for sale, yet: I pre-ordered the CD plus the props, and the HPL Historical Society just let me know that the download is ready. I have accordingly downloaded it. And soon, I shall listen to it.
In accordance with the prophecy.

PS: God, I love these radio plays. And I could use a new one, right now. The diversion is welcome.

Carl Weathers teases new THE MANDALORIAN season.
Not yet shooting, but supposedly soon: “We’re gonna start a new season of The Mandalorian, within the next month. Yeah. And I get to be in front of camera again, and I get to direct again.” Guess that means THE LAST OF US has finished production. And that the Mouse thinks that the heat’s died down enough to try to get that third season going.
Is that last part true? Why, I don’t know! Guess we’ll see!
Got some preliminary sketches in for the DECISIONS chapbook!
I’m trying to get that out in between edits on MORGAN BAROD and finally making progress on the finished version of the RPG supplement (got to get that backlist of my books populated, right?). Come, I will conceal nothing from you: the external events going on this week has been nothing but frustrating to me. And infuriating. And a few other, not particularly nice, emotions as well.
But! DECISIONS artwork! Below is a taste of the rough version of one of them. I’m using Ben Fleuter again, obviously. I’m hoping to buy a little more art from him for the RPG, too. But that’s a whole different conversation.
