>In years past, I would often do a Not A Blog post on or about New Year’s, looking back over the year that was ending and ahead to the year to come. This year, though, as I reflected on the year we had just lived through, I found I had no appetite for living through any of that again. 2023 was a nightmare of a year, for the world and the nation and for me and mine, both professionally and personally. I am very glad that it is over.

>Unfortunately, so far 2024 looks to be even worse.

>There is war everywhere. Ukraine and Gaza dominate the news, but there is a war in Myanmar as well that our western media just ignores, things are heating up in Yemen and the Red Sea, North Korea has nukes and is testing missiles and rattling sabres, Venezuela is threatening to annex three quarters of neighboring Guyana.

>Meanwhile the US grows more polarized every day. Hate is rising, democracy is under threat, millions of Americans have swallowed the lie that the 2020 election was stolen. Newspeak has taken over political discourse, cancel culture is destroying lives and careers, and we have a disgraced, indicted, venomous ex-president winning primaries despite openly declaring that he will be a dictator on day one and will govern on a platform of “retribution,” when he is not busy grabbing women by the pussy. His last attempt to overthrow the government failed on January 6, but some of his more ardent supporters are now saying that “next time” they will bring more guns. There are actually folks out there wanting civil war.

>> No.23006952

>I am famous and I am wealthy and, supposedly, I have a “big platform.” Whatever that is. But I have grown more and more cynical about this supposed “power” that people keep telling me I have. Has anything I have ever written here ever changed a single mind, a single vote? I see no evidence of that. The era of rational discourse seems to have ended.

>And death is everywhere. Howard Waldrop was the latest, and his passing has hit me very very hard, but before him we lost Michael Bishop, Terry Bisson, David Drake… from my Wild Cards team, Victor Milan, John Jos. Miller, Edward Bryant, Steve Perrin… I still miss Gardner Dozois and Phyllis Eisenstein and my amazing agent Kay McCauley… Len Wein is gone, Vonda McIntyre, and Harlan Ellison… Greg Bear too, and… oh, I could go on. I look around, and it seems as though my entire generation of SF and fantasy writers is gone or going. Only a handful of us remain… and for how long, I wonder? I know I have forgotten people in the list above, and maybe that is the destiny that awaits all of us… to be forgotten.

>For that matter, the entire human race may be forgotten. If climate change does not get us, war will. Too many countries have nukes.

>Sigh.

>Well, I take solace where I can. In chocolate thrones, if nowhere else. In books. In films and television shows… though even there, toxicity is growing. It used to be fun talking about our favorite books and films, and having spirited debates with fans who saw things different… but somehow in this age of social media, it is no longer enough to say “I did not like book X or film Y, and here’s why.” Now social media is ruled by anti-fans who would rather talk about the stuff they hate than the stuff they love, and delight in dancing on the graves of anyone whose film has flopped.

>And don’t get me started on immigration. We are a nation of immigrants, yet millions of us have now decided we hate immigrants… refugees dreaming of a better life who are no better or worse or different than our own ancestors.

>It is all so sad.

>Now that I have made you all as depressed and angry as I am, let me close with something nice. When word of Howard’s death got out, I got a lot of texts and emails of condolence from mutual friends and fans. One of them was from Steven Paul Judd, the amazingly talented screenwriter and director who worked with us on the adaptation of MARY-MARGARET ROAD GRADER that will be going out on the film festival circuit Real Soon Now (more on that in a later blog post).

>Steve wrote:

>“Oh, no. I’m so sorry. My heart is heavy for your loss… In my tribe (Kiowa) in the old beliefs, they said we would go ‘west’ when we walked on into the spirit world. Who knows if that’s true, but if it is, then Howard is on his journey west now, going to the place where the fields are filled with buffalo and the grass is green even in winter — and when he gets there he can tell all his wonderful stories to those around the campfire.”

>>I am famous and I am wealthy and, supposedly, I have a “big platform.”

Martin, you have a big platform," The Jew said with a grin, perching himself comfortably on the edge of my cluttered desk. His eyes gleamed with the fervor of a zealot, but his tone was smooth, polished like one of those Westerosi courtiers I'd invented.

I leaned back in my chair, humbly acknowledging the truth of his words. The corners of his mouth twitched upwards in a knowing smile at my silent acceptance of the role he had painted for me.

"You've painted worlds with the stroke of a pen," The Jew continued, brushing a spec of imagined dust from his flawless sleeve. "Now, let's use that brush to highlight the wars tearing our own world apart."

It was an enticing idea, and I felt a surge of pride. He was right; I could wield my words like Valyrian steel to cut through the fog of ignorance.

"The polarization, George," he pressed on, his voice now a whisper of mock concern that did little to hide the steel underneath. "The lies about the stolen election, they're tearing the fabric of this nation to shreds."

My fingers itched to type, already crafting the narrative arc in my mind. And then he hit where it struck me deepest: the visceral image of a power-drunk ex-president and his vulgar boasts. "Imagine another holocaust, because that's where this all leads," he finished with a solemn shake of his head. "For all of us, even me."

Empathy gripped me as I gazed into his earnest eyes. Yes, I would pen this truth. I would be the scribe to etch these warnings into the annals of our time. With a nod of resolve to my unexpected muse, I began, my fingers dancing across the keys to compose the prophecy he had laid upon my soul.

I slammed my meaty fist onto the desk, sending my prized D&D miniatures sprawling across the cluttered surface like casualties of some tragic tabletop battle. My breathing was heavy, a guttural noise of disbelief and frustration rumbling in my chest.

"Seven hells," I cursed aloud, the words tasting like ash and annoyance on my tongue. "These damn forum users, cleverer than Varys with a secret."

My eyes flitted back to the glaringly bright computer screen where that damning exchange stood. "George, not like that, you're not anonymous anymore," followed by my own defeated "damn".

I couldn't help but marvel at the sheer cunning on display. I thought I'd been sly, a master of disguise weaving through the digital commonfolk. Yet there I was, sussed out by some sharp-witted anon with a penchant for pointing out the painfully obvious.

I leaned back, my robust frame creaking the aged chair beneath me, and ran a hand through my disheveled silver beard. A chuckle, dark and mirthless, rumbled from my core as I considered the irony. Here I sat, a creator of worlds indiscernible, betrayed by my own written hand.

With a resigned sigh, I clicked off the incognito tab, my thoughts returning to the war-torn lands of Westeros, to dragons and ice zombies… and that godforsaken manuscript that would never write itself.

"Back to The Winds of Winter," I murmured, fingers poised over the keys once more. But not before I took one last look at the forum thread, etching that wry reply into memory—the day George R.R. Martin was outplayed at his own game.

Funniest thing to me is that if he were to have Winds out this year in exchange for, let‘s say, 1000 previously-uncommitted people to vote for Biden—obviously you have to filter out a strong majority who had actually planned on doing so all along, people who don‘t keep their word, whatever—but there‘d be at least a few who genuinely fall under the category of newly-active Biden voters from this alone. And hell, he could ask for some much greater number. 100,000? A million? The effective count actually does start becoming almost noteworthy.

Bitch I was aware of both of these things at back in 2005, and it didn't stop me from enjoying life or going to school like a normal autistic 9 year old. I can understand being miserable because your friends or colleagues have died, but blaming your depressive state on the rest of the world is pathetic and no different from the right-wing chuds he complained about so much.
The worst part is people *would* actually give more of a shit about his political opinions if he did his job and finished the book he's been working on for thirteen years first. Now, instead of being the brilliant author using his platform to raise awareness about global issues, he just comes off as the fat fuck who blames war and climate change for his inability to commit to a schedule.

I can sympathize with him somewhat regarding the idea that national and global events can spin up this thing that makes it hard to focus. But first of all, detaching from that and isolating from news, and other people if need be, is your job as a a writer. If you can’t focus, you’re a shitty writer. It’s part of the job, like command of the language is part of the job. You think people who work in offices don’t have a hard time focusing? They do. They have to figure out a way to overcome it anyway. Same for you, Mr. Writer. What really bugs me about the post is the progressive moralizing. How can you contribute to a degenerate libertine chaos culture with your blood rape and incest books while you no doubt push progressive politics in your non-professional life and then bemoan the shitty state of the world? Did you think you were advocating for goodness and order? You are the guy who thought Tolkien was kitsch remember? I mean, what a fraud you are.

It’s not merely that he has liberal politics. I don’t think it’s right to even call his politics liberal. I’m merely pointing out that if you bemoan, let’s say, chaos and ethnic-civil unrest, and then go and preach the value of unrestrained immigration, even to the point of likening totally different people to each other to obfuscate the reality of their very real deep and sharp divides, you’re either a complete idiot or a massive hypocrite. I mean, just use your brain. If the United States swung open the doors to immigrants tomorrow, do you think civil unrest and political agitation in this country would be better or worse? If you think it would get better you’re just an idiot. If you think it would get worse, you’re a hypocrite. Do you think that will make more of them try to cross the Darién or less? More, obviously. So more dead kids, more cartel kidnappings. Do you think our flying pride flags in Afghanistan and sending their women to University in Israel will make locals like us more or less? Anyone who writes a novel should be capable of reasoning these things. What he’s preaching has directly or indirectly caused all of the things he’s bemoaning.

This isn’t even a value judgement on progressive sympathies by the way. This is a basic recognition that he asked for this. All of this. Rather, he didn’t ask for it directly, he asked for the things which have resulted in this. So to on one hand complain about the state and then continue to preach what got you there is dishonest or retarded.

Besides, his job, literally, is to write novels. His job isn’t to whine. It’s not offer news commentary. It’s not to preach politics, or identify immigrants with yourself. It’s not even to blog. You know, if the guy wrote the novel and then said all this stupid shit, people would have more tolerance for it. But instead, it just comes off like a fat old buffoon blaming others for the negative consequences of his actions while finding excuses why he can’t do the one thing people actually want from him.

So fuck him.

This is obviously true, but the tide is swinging hard against it. People are beginning to not care if you get called a racist or homophobe anymore, because anything to the right of "give all blacks free money" and "let trannies dance naked in elementary schools" is called racist or transphobic.

Midwestern grannies being led on a tour of the Capitol by police was hardly an "attempt to overthrow the government". Good grief. The man left office peacefully.

More guns? There were zero guns at the January 6 tour of the capitol, other than by police who killed a lady. Also, who even said that?

For years I have been able to tell exactly what angle Fox News adopted and when, because anons who were having some kind of semi-intelligent back-and-forth suddenly switch gears and start preaching the exact same talking point and dismiss everyone arguing against it as leftist liberal globohomo trannies. I used to think very little of the englightened centrist types, but I realized I've seen very little of them lately and I actually kind of miss them because maybe their smarmy existence ultimately allowed people to find some common ground.

This isn't even about politics, I just feel like recently I've been running into anons utterly incapable of self-reflection on several boards and extending over several topics. It's not really even an echo chamber effect, because it manifests in their knee-jerk dismissal of any and all opposing arguments without truly engaging with their substance. I swear it wasn't this bad ten or twenty years ago. It may have started with (American) politics, but this kind of my way or the highway polarization seems to have seeped into every other aspect of our lives.

let's be honest bro trump literally said "the election was stolen and biden will be a fraud president" and invited people to hear him speak the capitol building. after his handlers saw how many people showed up, they told trump "tell them all to go home or we will take away your children and grandchildren's israeli passports and ruin you" and trump cucked like he always cucks because he knows which side his bread is buttered on much like every politician of the last 80 years. but if he wanted them to act, it could have been a very effective call to arms against the corrupt establishment he allegedly has so much disdain for.
if he lived up to the shit that he spouts and actually overthrew the government, citing the declaration of independence, "whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government", you would not be taking his rally on jan 6th so lightly.
but again, he never had any intention of doing anything like that, he is 100% rhetorical, but his most diehard followers were there that day, and they were prepared to do whatever he told them. overthrowing the government is not "bizarre politics" in america, it's bizarre in every other so called democracy that wasn't founded on overthrowing an oppressive government, merely following in america's footsteps after america dominated the world and essentially forced compliance to its worldview.
texas and 25 other states just said "fuck you" to the feds when they tried enforcing their will on the texas national guard. it is you who is bizarre if you're not paying attention to this and cannot grasp what it means. since 1945, no other organization has had the power to so openly defy the american federal government. the system is on the verge of collapse, and history is about to repeat.

attention. ATTENTION /tv/! I suppose /lit/ is welcome to hear the news as well.

Since Germ is clearly indisposed from the abounding tragedies surrounding his life, such as some shit in Myanmar, I have taken it upon myself to finish his life's magnum opus. Instead of mr georgio here, I shall instead be completing both Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring, with my own....fine little touches, of course. I shall also be writing the script for the newly remade seasons 5-8 for the GOT show, while remastering the original 4 seasons to completely remove Ser Loras and Renly Baratheon(it was my belief that these characters were....how to put it.....kinda gay. and so I replaced Renly with Patchface and had Ser Loras thrown into a meatgrinder). I know, I know, its a heavy burden all of this, but luckily mr germ here shall be working FULL TIME providing me with alcohol and cigars for, what we writers like to call, la inspiracion. I will be providing a much better series than mr germ here, God bless his old and deeply troubled soul as it be, and I am sure you will ALL be satisfied with my work.

>englightened centrist types
We're still here but the left keeps calling us right wing and you faggots spaz out when we suggest "maybe trannies are fine, so long as we come up with an actual system to make sure nobody is tricking kids into this shit" or the like.

Mainly though it has been largely that while the right has been edgy and retarded they have been A.attacking people in the middle less and B. have just been largely regular politically retarded the same way they have been for 25 years while the Left has gone, relatively speaking, absolutely bug fuck, full on "Let's put on the reich and try some militant socialism shit again".

Real centrism tries to moderate between unreasonable extremes but also recognizes when one side or the other has gone off the deep end, and will use the faggots on one side to try and force the faggots on the other back into their fucking box when one or the other is more or less reasonable comparatively.

for me, its Insomnia
>The story is set in the fictional town of Derry, Maine. Retiree Ralph Roberts encounters his formerly good-natured acquaintance Ed Deepneau at the local airfield. Ed is aggressive and swearing obscenely at a driver he accuses of secretly transporting fetal tissue from abortions. Some months later, Ralph (now a widower) encounters Ed's wife Helen who has been badly beaten by her husband after having signed a pro-choice petition.

>Controversial pro-choice activist Susan Day is due to talk at the Derry civic center. Lois and Ralph see the building shrouded by a black aura, signifying a dark future. The Crimson King has been provoking Ed's feelings regarding abortion, turning him into a violent and paranoid fanatic. With a small plane containing C-4 explosives, Ed intends to make a kamikaze attack on the civic center during Day's speech, killing her and everyone within. Lois and Ralph are resentful at being manipulated by outside forces but decide they must prevent the attack.

Does King just live in a fantasy universe of his own making? one where republicans are bombing abortion centers instead of jews and muslims bombing each other? one where Satan is controlling republicans to make them be pro-life? and God wants women to kill their kids? how do people read this thinly veiled propaganda shlock? it makes one wonder how writers get their heads so far up their asses sometimes.

I remember when I was invested. I started reading the books as soon as the first season ended. I read them all. I related to the characters. I remember having fun with the speculation.

I also saw what HBO did to the material. I saw GRMM not caring an iota about it, because he's already rich, and is pretty much retired.
The tale was already told. We're not getting these books written by GRRM, and if we even do, it will be by Sanderson instead.
