The COBRA KAI Honest Trailer.
It’s good! Check it out. Although, a confession: I only watched the first episode. Look, I can watch more TV, or I can write more. Which should I go with?
Addresses locked on the TALES FROM THE FERMI RESOLUTION Kickstarter, emails sent.
That should get the wallpapers and the mobi/pdf/epub files out, at least. I’m working on processing the print and Kindle versions now; once I proof them, I can pull the trigger on getting the book published, and then I can order ’em, sign ’em, and send ’em out. I’m still on track, I think, for having the book available for sale by February 1st.
There’s still time to pre-order, though!
Tweet of the Day, Do-Doo-Dur Disney+ BORK BORK BORK Edition.
This is the good stuff. The pure quill. The gold standard against which everything else is measured.
Play the music! Light the lights! ALL FIVE SEASONS of The Muppet Show are coming exclusively to @DisneyPlus! Why don't we get things started on February 19? pic.twitter.com/mGgWRBa9Yp

Tweet of the Day, There Was No Tweet Of The Day edition.
Dear Lord but it’s like there’s a tax on anything except horrified despair lately.
I think more people should give themselves permission to be happy.

Oh wow TROLL BRIDGE: The Moving Picture. Yes, *that* one.
The Terry Pratchett one.

The Queen Latifah THE EQUALIZER trailer.
I’m not going to lie to you. I’m kind of feeling it.
Mostly because it’s Queen Latifah doing all of the Equalizing. She seems to be getting into it, and that’s a consideration. I doubt I’m going to go through the trouble of getting access to THE EQUALIZER, but it doesn’t bug me on a fundamental level. It might not suck.
01/18/21 Snippet, THE FALL OF THE KINGDOM of COAHUILA.
Trash-talk!
Patreon!Bailey spent a bullet trying to spook out the soldiers before the wounded one broke cover and ran for the horses. Bailey put him down without a qualm. The fella wasn’t running away; he was running for help. But it took another shot to do it, and now it was just the last soldier and him.
“You want time to reload, Yankee?” came the cry from… over there, somewhere. Bailey couldn’t be real sure where without looking, and for damned sure he wasn’t gonna stand up to check. “Give you more of a sporting chance, hey?”
“Wouldn’t say no!” Bailey shouted back. “Tell you what. Let’s stand up, have ourselves a proper duel. Like gentlemen!” He then moved a bit, because he figured the soldier wanted an idea where he was, too.
That got a no-fooling raucous laugh. “Ain’t no gentleman here but me, boy. I don’t duel Yankees anyway. I whup ‘em, just like I would a slave.”
“You think you’re tough enough, runaway,” Bailey said with as much scorn as he could manage, “why don’t you come on over and try?”
The @SJGames GURPS Pyramid Scheme Kickstarter.
Steve Jackson Games is bringing back their Pyramid magazine, or at least testing out bringing back Pyramid. The GURPS Pyramid Scheme Kickstarter looks like it’s digital-only, which makes sense. It’s also a bit of a relief. I didn’t do their Car Wars Kickstarter because my question on the origins of the physical materials was… ah, not answered to my satisfaction. But this looks safe enough.
