The Gundam that Wasn’t

The Gundam that Wasn’t

I've made no secret of my desire to make #AGundamForUS, but longtime reader Lee recently called my attention to a little-known failed Hollywood production that almost brought us a live-action Gundam movie in 1983. But the most ambitious and obscure of these false starts came relatively early in the franchise's…

21st Century Publishing

21st Century Publishing

Red Pill Religion put on quite a show last night. It was my honor to join new pub all-stars Nick Cole, John C. Wright, and Russell Newquist for a rousing and informative discussion of 21st century publishing strategies. It comes as a surprise to me that some aspiring authors haven't…

A War to Be Normal

A War to Be Normal

Yesterday I mentioned comic artist Ethan Van Sciver's account of his amicable separation from DC Comics. Ethan's a decent guy--the kind of normie entrepreneur, husband, and father one could once be in America before peak SJW convergence. It's good to know he isn't fretting over where his next meal is…

The Preponderance of Evidence

The Preponderance of Evidence

Evidence continues to mount in support of my theory that something catastrophic befell Western pop culture circa 1997.

Mech America Great Again

Mech America Great Again

The big news out of this year's E3 is that there hasn't been much news out of E3. Devolver Digital has managed to liven up the rather dismal proceedings with their announcement of a remastered version of Metal Wolf Chaos. Of not is that the announcement caused a stir not…

In a refreshing turn of events, the Dragon Con admins appear to have learned from their past mistakes. Author Jon Del Arroz has the story: Dragon Con faced a quiet coup attempt by their Literary Track head named Charlotte Stromborn. She was originally in charge of Anne McCaffrey’s Pern track…

Galactic Christendom

Galactic Christendom

For some time now, myself and other indie authors have been urging talented writers who uphold the ideals of Western civilization to get off the bench and in the reader-pleasing, culture-making game. It's my unalloyed pleasure to share the news that friend of the blog Bradford Walker has taken up…

The Two Rulebooks

As a follow up to my recent post about a Catholic wonk struggling to comprehend the cultural and spiritual forces arrayed against the Church and the West, reader Xavier passes along an example of a Catholic blogger who's starting to get it. Wherein Fr. Z contemplates how the Left wins…

Every Man an Island

Every Man an Island

Study the downward trajectory of Western civilization long enough, and you start to notice certain trends. One dyscivic development that almost certainly affects you but goes largely unremarked upon is the increasing isolation and atomization of men. The decline in (actually the suppression of--more on that later) male socializing and…
