BEN IS BACK. (Back again.)
HOMONOID, the madcap tech farce sequel to the highly regarded SCENEBUX, is out today.
It is my honor and privilege to release this book NOT through New Ritual Press.
Details below.
As incel and femcel are increasingly applied to people who do in fact have sex they seem more and more like they just mean misanthrope.

HOMONOID, the hot new sequel to @cairoasmith's SCENEBUX, is an exceptional satirical sendup of the wacky San Francisco social milieu of cutting edge tech with a propulsive adventure story that's one step ahead of every headline! I recommend in the strongest terms!

Cairo Smith's Fallujiad is an incredible work. It's a serialized epic poem about the destruction of Fallujah.
I'm not aware of any other work of film or literature that's successfully grappled with the full tragic magnitude of the Iraq War.
But as Cairo shows us, the way to tell the story of an epic tragedy is through epic poetry.
Again, it's an incredible work. Profound and beautiful, it's a piece of art that transcends our time.
The Fallujiad is free on Substack. Check it out today.
The point was to do Nightcrawler with a real guy and however he actually is was obviously very secondary to that.
"To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen finally watched Robert Pattinson playing him in "Primetime" and was not a fan.
“It was so bizarre and so in-and-out of reality. Obviously, I’m not objective because the character is, you know, me, but it was so detached from reality or anything I’ve experienced then or now doing the investigations. I’m not sure what the point of it was.”

There's a new version of this post
In 200 years watching the entirety of old TV shows is going to be the sole domain of historical media studies. Someone who has watched The Wire is going to be like someone who has read Flaubert.
Why do spam emails trying to sound businessy refer to emails as "notes"? "Following up on my last note." It's not a note! It's an email! Notes are things executives give you on your script.

Okay guys...
I admit it...
I am the fecal superspreader...
