The return of Walt Ames

Peter Grant, the author of The Ames Archives, has debuted the title and cover of the second book in the series, the sequel to his very well-received revival of the Western, BRINGS THE LIGHTNING, on his site. I think perhaps a brief excerpt from ROCKY MOUNTAIN RETRIBUTION would be in order: As the half-light of […]

All their base

In which we are reliably informed that their base, such as it is, are now belong to us. A rhetorical strategy courtesy of the Evil Legion of Evil’s Xcruciator, which, uncharacteristically, does not involve wood, nails, or hammers. Ordinarily, which is to say ordinarily when dealing with a sane enemy, it would be considered unwise […]

This is what Zero Fucks looks like

John Scalzi ‏@scalzi Pro tip: if you write me telling me you’re tired of me writing about politics, expect a response along the line of “I don’t fucking care.” John Scalzi ‏@scalzi Pointed out to me a certain racist failure is still desperately trying to prove he’s more popular than I am. Well, with assholes, […]

Mailvox: can’t you be nicer?

Robert imagines I would be more accessible if I only toned it down: VD, I’ve read everyday for probably 18 months (and bought a couple of your non science fiction books). I agree with the overwhelming vast majority of what you have to say. I’m not thin skinned and I don’t mind confrontation. From school, […]

A lesson in Gamma

So, this would have appeared to come out of the blue to everyone on Gab yesterday. Allen Ayler@PseudoCrusader @voxday You follow just 32 people. Must be your egotistical self importance. Vox Day@voxday Very foolish, Allen. I was going to leave our email exchange private, but I’ll go ahead and publish it on Alpha Game now. […]

Alt-White and Alt-West

One of the chief pieces of evidence concerning the fact that #GamerGate was a primarily left-wing group is the way in which many of the supporters of the #AltRight are observably ignorant of the basic tenets of the most successful anti-SJW, anti-media action since the cultural war began. Every group and every movement has its […]

Their indifference is palpable

This interview with NK Jemisin in The Atlantic is interesting, as it indicates a change in strategy on the part of the Puppykickers: Just a year ago, the idea of a novel as deliberately outside the science-fiction norm as The Fifth Season winning the Hugo Award seemed unlikely. In 2013, a small group of science-fiction […]

A few thoughts on Worldcon

MidAmericaCon II is approaching, and as one could expect in a world where we’re waiting to learn if “Space Raptor Butt Invasion” is a Hugo Award-winning short story, things are getting weird. First, someone had the bright idea of a caption contest. Below is The Alt Right DM’s entry. Add caption Meanwhile, MidAmericaCon II had […]

Ben Shapiro is glad you hate him

Or at least he would like you to think so. After all, he must maintain his pose as a brave conservative culture warrior, or people might figure out that he’s a fraud. Supreme Dark Lord@voxday My readers really hate @benshapiro. “Chickenhawk does not even BEGIN to describe this supercilious neo-con asshole.” Ben Shapiro ‏@benshapiro Good. […]
