Hey can anyone help a brother out, who is the guy in Dan’s intro video with the black suit and cane? I feel like I should know, and he does look familiar.

ETA: this guy

I love that he tagged his two former publishers in the tweet, so desperate. I can't imagine the stuff their social media people have had to deal with over the last few years. Tor doesn't even make sense for this specific book.

He's definitely tweeting this for an audience, I know it's been suggested that whoever gave him the money told him to get to work and this seems to be true.

My theories: he either self-publishes and pretends it was picked up by a real publisher, or he magically discovers problems with the first draft and has to spend another year pretending to be a writer.

I forget his name, but he was an intern on O&A who had one of those songs/music videos that rich LA Jews get made for their talentless kids thinking they're going to be famous, if you remember Rebecca Black "Friday", they're like that. This one is amazing, really shit song sung badly while he prances around.

Thank you! What a cringe song and video. I did experience that second-hand embarrassment watching that.
So I guess Dan really is “the real thing” since he knows all this OnA lore?
Can’t wait for Piggy to humiliate himself online again like he did with his tryhard Ozempic

I wonder how much it would cost for Niki to front a shell publisher that exclusively does digital and print on demand through the various digital storefronts. "A Christmas Carnage", the first book published by Books By Ghost, a Posts By Ghost subsidiary.

Either that or he'll shell out for a vanity press to get physical copies he can try and sell at conventions. He'd squeal the Robinsons to death if they forced him to self publish like a common swine.

edit: also, in the past people had found "posts by ghost" that appeared to have been written by Patrick. It's likely that's still one of his jobs, though I don't know how much business Niki sees these days. Especially with AI doing a lot of that now.

Absolute retardation. Tiny Tim is a cripple and likely would have died of polio. Ain't no way he lived to adulthood.

The text states Tiny Tim did not die. His condition as described is consistent with severe Vitamin D deficiency causing rickets and tuberculosis, which was treatable in 1843 provided you had Scrooge's money backing you up. They would likely have sent Tiny Tim somewhere he could get a lot of sun, and Bob's your uncle.

Dude almost anything was treatable back then for rich people. The thing was about Scrooge.

You'd think the dumb fuck would have rushed to be able to have a CHRISTMAS-themed book ready BEFORE the holiday season, but this is a fat retard with bitch tits.

They didn't even discover what caused TB until 1882 and it wasn't until literally the '40s that there was any effective treatment for it, no matter how rich you were. You just got to die in more luxurious surroundings. Even if you had remission, you still had severe damage to your lungs and since there was nothing to use to kill the bacillus, you would inevitably relapse over and over until you died.

At the time, it killed 1 out of 7 of every humans who ever lived, and if you got it, it was a death sentence.

Penicillin basically didn't do dick for TB. It was streptomycin in 1943 that finally ended the situation of TB being nearly uniformly fatal (unless you managed to die of something else first). Part of the problem is its incredibly slow metabolism, which has the side effect of making it nearly immune to many antibiotics, and is why courses of treatment are still incredibly lengthy. It just doesn't uptake very quickly.

That's also why the course of untreated TB is so slow and it can take years or decades to kill you.
