The man is a rhetorical maestro. Three words + one picture = killer meme. And if this triggers or upsets or angers you in any way, you desperately need to revisit your core assumptions.

The Meme of the Week
There were several quality memes, including two other 10/10 ratings, but this one definitely took the cake due to being hilarious on top of very rhetorically effective. Bert’s face looks exactly like Steven Crowder’s would if he ever appeared on Big Bear’s livestream.

It’s time for the first Meme Review of 2023. You know where to send them. Just one, please. If you send more than one, they’ll all be thrown out, so don’t bother. Subject: MEME REVIEW.
On a not-particularly-related subject, if you wish to keep up with my daily word count tracker, which I’ve implemented to put pressure on myself to improve my literary output, you can do so via this thread at SocialGalactic and the link to it on the right sidebar. What % GOAL means is what the current total run rate is compared to my annual goal of 365,000 words. In other words, whether I’m ahead of the annual schedule or behind it. I’ll add a TOTAL WORDS line with tonight’s update that should help clarify the matter for those who miss this explanation.
And yes, at present, the FICTION genre refers to A SEA OF SKULLS.
UPDATE: William is calculating when the next novel will be published. Unfortunately, his work was based on a false premise and therefore the results are incorrect. Both A THRONE OF BONES and A SEA OF SKULLS are 297,500 words apiece.
…trying to figure when the next Vox Day novel will drop based on new information…
…assuming about 200,000 words in a novel the size of Throne of Bones…
…of course, this is not counting work being done in parallel, or things being thrown out…
…ok, we’ve got this… run a Farey sequence on the probability envelope of a daily routine given parameters of Environment, Distraction, Drive, Accuracy… input variables into a non-linear optimization routine… convince some intern this all makes sense and make him do all the work to figure it out… done.
Vox will have written 4,000 new novels by the end of the year, and 24 of them will have become motion picture productions.
The intern was JF.
The Memes Must Flow
Today, and today only, please feel free to send your meme of choice – note the singular – for the Weekly Meme Review. Remember, there is an automatic -1 for #dogposting. We may have to consider a similar penalty for #orcposting, given my known predilection for it.
Speaking of things memetic, Lacey Fairchild has produced what has got to be among the top ten weirdest crossovers ever in comics, in which she reveals her sneakily funny sense of humor.
And, of course, a reminder that now is the time to get your MIDNIGHT’S WAR print editions. An update on the campaign will be posted later today.
Meme of the Week
A little late on this one, but it’s an excellent variant on the Witch Test in meme form. I’ll start taking submissions for next week tomorrow.
Meme of the Week 006
I’d chosen this week’s winner even before Donald Trump’s announcement that he’d be running for president again, but it’s particularly apt in light of that. It’s a powerful meme that not only points to the truth of the former president’s narcissism and complete failure of leadership, but also effectively triggers the emotions of those who continue to support the man and those who don’t alike. The only thing that prevents it from being a perfect meme is the execution of the dialogue balloon. 9/10.
Speaking of Donald Trump’s announcement, Trouble Man and Neon Revolt helpfully summarized his speech last night.
TROUBLE MAN: I’ll give you a summary of Trump’s speech so you don’t need to waste your time: “What they’re doing to our country, rigged elections, high gas prices, southern border, wars, etc. is so sad. I did the best for black and asians and hispanics. Nobody’s done better (No mention of Whites). I did such good things for israel with the Abraham accords. Nobody’s better for israel. They’ve done nothing to fix election fraud since I walked away from a hijacked election in 2020 and your countrymen are still political prisoners… But despite that, we’re still gonna pretend we have legitimate elections and I’m gonna run again in 2024!”
NEON REVOLT: No one wants to say it, but I will. Trump doesn’t sound like he has his heart in this. There’s also the glaring issue of voter fraud. I see no evidence of anything being done to deal with this, the most important issue, affecting all our elections. Right now, with this level of energy, and with the way things are rigged, this all feels like an exercise in futility.
Don’t get me wrong. The man was a very, very good president, the best of the 20th and 21st centuries combined. But that doesn’t change the fact that Donald Trump failed in his stated objective to make America great again, he failed morally when he embraced the vaxx and subjected his countrymen to its destructive consequences, and he failed as a leader when he refused to pardon the January 6th demonstrators while pardoning con artists, scammers, and rappers.
