It’s 5 AM on a cold Saturday morning. Fog rises off the Susquehanna River, and steam rises from the Sumatran coffee in my mug. Brian Keene Radio has just transitioned from YOB’s “Quantum Mystic” to Rush’s “Bravado”. Dallas is asleep in a chair to my immediate right. Stripe is asleep in a dog bed to my immediate left. My peers are worried about A.I. taking our jobs, the recession, the paper shortage, and the purchase of places where we’ve spent years curating an audience — now owned by billionaires who crater whole swaths of it on a possibly Ambien-driven mania. And those are all very real fears. A.I. is already taking our jobs. The recession is already here, judging by my bank account. The paper shortage is a long and complicated global saga, and I’m not even sure that I — the son of a United Paperworker and someone whose livelihood relies heavily on paper — understand it entirely. And social media is indeed cratering, but it’s going to be a long, grim slide, rather than something that happens overnight.
Holy shit! That was quite the short. Thanks for the goosebumps. Merry Christmas to you and yours. See you in April. Which can’t come soon enough as far as my cold body is concerned. 🥶
I loved the small glimpse of of the YouTube movie 8 mins as I wished it was longer. I was laughing though out the scenes as it was very dark that hit my heart and made it warm. It totally felt like you could easily work with (I left it in the comment in YouTube) Quentin Tarantino. Well made. Thank you.
Merry Christmas!

The Hole, wow...that was dark, love it.
All the best to you and yours!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
This is provably the most unsettling newsletter I’ve ever read and yet it’s also pleasant and hopeful?
Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!

That was a neat short story for Sunday morning. AI scares me a bit, AI writers and painters, what's a creative to do. Have a Merry Christmas
Just wAtched the naughty list🖤
