WTF even is this book?!

Amazon is listing a book, feat. a GOOD OMENS S3 TV SERIES REVIEW, immediately available (read: before the actual finale will go live).

There's nothing spoilery here (and I doubt that the "author" has actually watched GO3, hell, I doubt the "author" is a real person, tbh), but just to be careful, I'll put this behind a "Keep reading" link.

Good Omens Season 3 Tv Series Review: Exploring Storytelling, Characters, Themes, and the Final Chapter of the Series Paperback – April 19, 2026

by James V. Kelly (Author)

Seriously?! WTF? The summary is so bloody pretentious I want to get my hands on a flaming sword to deal with this.

"Why You Can Trust This Book" Yes, nothing will make me more suspicious than a line like this... "Still Unsure?" You betcha! "Perfect Gift For:" Abso-fucking-lutely no one... at a guess. Definitely not the mentioned "Fans of Good Omens".

Am I the only one who thinks this balderdash REEKS OF AI!?!? 😡

No, I certainly don't want to get my copy. Even if this book was anywhere close to something "real", I most definitely wouldn't want to read it before watching the finale, you know? Do kindly fuck off.

If I want to enjoy some meta about GO3, I'll go to my trusted sources on tumblr. Thank you very much.

I really hope that no one buys this shit for a GO fan, thinking they're getting something great for a friend or family member, but I suspect that's exactly the market they're aiming for: unsuspecting people (outside the fandom) who are looking for a thoughtful gift.

If you spent your hard-earned money on The Beatles Anthology 4, send me your address, and I'll get a sympathy card out to you asap. At this point it's clear the remaining Beatles, Paul and Ringo, have checked out where any quality control is concerned on these box sets, and reissues, and The Beatles' catalog is now in the hands of "the estates" of John Lennon, and George Harrison, and the accountants and lawyers who tend to Paul's and Ringo's business affairs. I refuse to believe Paul or Ringo signed off on this rip-off of a release. Thirty-six tracks spread over three LPs or CDs, and only 13 of them are unreleased. And none of those 13 is essential or important or illuminating in any way. They're mostly unfinished outtakes, rejects filled with mistakes and breakdowns - the kinds of things you'd listen to once, and shelve. As for the remixed versions of "Free As A Bird", and "Real Love" they're really wretched sounding. They were cobbled together to begin with. Why would they go back, and start tinkering with them thirty years later, you ask? I can only conclude that all of those involved - Paul and Ringo and the estates of dead John, and dead George are in dire financial straits, and in need of money so that their heirs will not wind up homeless. So, if you buy it, you may be able to write it off on your tax return as a charitable contribution. (Be sure and save your receipt. And if the I.R.S. man questions it, just play the thing for him.) As for me, I streamed it free on YouTube. If you must hear it, do that, and spend your money on heating your home this winter, or feeding your poor starving children. Family first, and all that. I'm already embarrassed to be an American, thanks to our lawless government. Must I now be embarrassed to be a Beatles' fan, too? Enough!

Oh Canada!

In my current “underdeveloped” and “shithole” country, in a small town, I’m able to get fibre optics internet, which since the pandemic started had a problem once, and was promptly repaired, for $29. This is not considered cheap. From my inbox today:

“In a mind-boggling 180° turn, the CRTC just rejected its own 2019 decision on the wholesale rates that smaller providers pay to access Internet services from incumbent service providers like Bell, Telus and Rogers. Not only have they scrapped their carefully calculated 2019 rates — they’re refusing to do any new rates calculations at all, and reverting to the oppressively higher 2016 rates, essentially handing a death sentence to small ISPs. If this stands, it will crush our dream of affordable Internet in Canada.”

And this is why: Since Ian Scott, a former Telus executive, took over as Chair of the CRTC, the Commission has become more and more Big Telecom friendly, striking down every opportunity to increase telecom competition and reduce Canada’s sky-high Internet bills.

Fox guarding a henhouse, haha. Ugh, I signed a petition again.
