Hellbender 2 is the funniest novel ever. And here's my guarantee: If you buy it and tell me you don't find it hilarious, I'll hunt you down and repeatedly punch you in the face for being a liar. Sinners must be punished.

Celebrity Jeopardy! seems like a good intro to Jeopardy! since the questions are easier (though I’m not sure I could have beaten those three — though I did know the critical Final Jeopardy question).

Man, the Celebrity Jeopardy! semi-final between Patton Oswalt, Brendan Hunt, and Michael Cera was really exciting; they all played a great game. I’ve been introducing my kids to Jeopardy! with Celebrity Jeopardy!, and I like the new format with the Triple Jeopardy.

Sure, let’s hold Megyn Kelly accountable for…

Ooh! She’ll pay for that! She’ll pay for doubting the police disclosed all facts! To account she will be held!

The best advice seems to be that as much as possible, let MidJourney make the artistic decisions.

I kept trying to find if there was some trick to specifying two subjects, but nothing worked. I got something pretty close to what I wanted using a simple prompt (“woman confronts lich”) and doing a remix for more specificity.

But I can understand “good enough” Star Wars sequel dominating the box office after the prequels. I just never understood what about Avatar would make it the highest grossing thing ever.

Well, those Star Wars sequels weren't that great either.

I now have new images for all my short stories. I think it’s looking pretty good. At least better than free stock images.

Here’s what I eventually got for Glenda Dragonfire! with enough rerolls. Not exactly what I was looking for, but close enough.

To get a new image for my short story “Who Murdered the Dinosaurs,” I eventually got near what I wanted by using its blend command and feeding it an image of a dinosaur fossil and a taped crime scene.

So far my biggest problem with MidJourney is that if your specifying two subjects in an image, it tends to combine them. So when I was making an image for Glenda Dragonfire of the title character confronting a lich, it tended to make her look undead too.

Goldeneye is host to one of my greatest gaming accomplishments, which was unlocking invincibility on the second level by hitting the target time. I don’t know how many tries it took — and part of it was luck based on where one NPC appears.

Revisiting Goldeneye on Nintendo Switch, it’s like “unlearn everything you know about controlling a modern shooter.”

I think I’m going to go through and replace the cover images on all my short stories on my Substack from the “good enough” stock images. It should be some good prompt practice.

I really wanted a close up image of Hitler getting punched in the face for a future episode of Origin Story, but they don’t let you use “Hitler” as a key word. :(

Anyway, I think MidJourney will work better than finding free stock photos. It’s only $10 a month, and the Substack cover images aren’t worth a lot to me because they’re only seen when posting a Substack to social media; people who get emailed a post don’t see them.

Like I needed a pink cockroach for my Hellbender short story, and here is the best one I got from DALL-E versus MidJourney.

I already went through and replaced all the cover images for the parts of Origin Story. I liked the results, but the prompting is a skill. Also, by myself I’m not the most visually creative person.

I decided to invest $10 in trying out MidJourney for making images to go with the stories on my Substack. It seems to give mainly visually coherent images more to what I’m looking for versus DALL-E.

Same with Everything Everywhere All at Once -- everyone was good in it, but only Ke Huy Quan made me go, "Wow. That guy was great."

As with most acting nominations, everyone was good but I didn't get why everyone was better than everyone else last year -- except for Colin Farrell. Very stand out.

Banshees of Inisherin was goofier and funnier than I was expecting. Didn't care for the ending. Just kind of a bleak ending; those are the easiest to do.

Between watching that and Everything Everywhere All at Once, I've seen eight Oscar actor and actress nominees. That's got to be a record for me. And they nominated someone in an MCU movie, so I'll probably see that when it's on Disney+.

I watched the Banshees of Inisherin. From the title, I expected it to be a Ghostbusters ripoff. It wasn't quite that.
