#DISNEYMUSTPAY #FOSTERVDISNEY #STARWARS Alan Dean Foster wrote STAR WARS, the novelization of the first film. He has recently gone public with claims that Disney is not paying him contractual royalties since acquiring Lucasfilm. He is now being assisted by SFWA (Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America) who have started the online movement #DISNEYMUSTPAY. Though SFWA says Foster has received royalties on ALIEN, ALIENS, and ALIEN 3, he is still awaiting a resolution on STAR WARS. Disney released the following statement: “We are carefully reviewing whether any royalty payments may have been missed as a result of acquisition integration and will take appropriate remedial steps if that is the case.”
My grandfather, John Morrow, used to say, “Going to church on Easter and drinking on New Year’s is for amateurs.” I think the last time I went out on New Year’s Eve was a decade ago. So raise that glass of raw milk and enjoy some rest! I’ll be asleep before it’s even 2026 in China. I wish you all peace and joy in the year to come. G’NIGHT!! ✌🏼
We have been playing electric fence whack-a-mole with the cows, especially “mommy cow”, who appears to be the ring leader of the fence jumping mafia. She either has a very high pain tolerance or the hot wire we just installed isn’t working. I watched as she ducked under the wire and pushed down the metal fencing so she could help herself to our backyard grass - and a recycling container filled with old hay.
Here’s how to never buy mulch again. Did you know that the crews who trim trees for power lines will often dump the mulched branches at your house for free? We drove by a crew on Friday and within a couple hours they were at our farm dumping an entire truckload of fresh mulch that we can use for our garden! Unintended benefits: free forage for the goats and a free playground for the human kids. Try it out next time you see these crews. Just pull over if it’s safe and ask them if they offer the service. Grab the foreman’s phone number to stay in touch for future jobs.
I find it interesting how we were all directed to be triggered. Over Bill Gates being a large "farm land" owner. And we all got concerned over moves involving food. And sure, there are some. Meanwhile, Beyond Meat is failing. The whole fake meat game is in financial peril.
The "farm land" is going to AI Data Centers. They just want hooks for power, water and resources to build and maintain them.
It's interesting how we're led to look one way, when the real plot is in a different direction.
