Don't get me wrong, great book, but I'm immediately following it with another Dyatlov book that Goodreads reviews say "falls to bits" by the author of that one diving deep into conspiracy theories and shit.

Get the facts first, then dive into the entertainment.

Is that the Death Zone book? I think I read it last year.

Nah... Poe ruined that idea by writing the book. Now, everyone will suspect the guy with the orangutan.

Hey, if I were to go to a crime scene and determine that the perpetrator was a chimpanzee or orangutan, then I would advocate for that theory regardless of what my colleagues may think of me.

Writers S. J. Perelman and Will B. Johnstone were excited to be working with the Marx Brothers, but producer Herman J. Mankiewicz advised them to lower their expectations, calling the brothers "mercurial, devious, and ungrateful ... I hate to depress you, but you'll rue the day you ever took the assignment. This is an ordeal by fire, make sure you wear asbestos pants." Groucho disliked the original script delivered by Perelman and Johnstone, saying "It stinks."

I've had worst reviews of first drafts when writing issues.

Conserative Morality wrote:"It's not time yet" is a tactic used by reactionaries in every era. "It's not time for democracy, it's not time for capitalism, it's not time for emancipation." Of course it's not time. It's never time, not on its own. You make it time. If you're under fire in the no-man's land of WW1, you start digging a foxhole even if the ideal time would be when you *aren't* being bombarded, because once you wait for it to be 'time', other situations will need your attention, assuming you survive that long. If the fields aren't furrowed, plow them. If the iron is not hot, make it so. If society is not ready, change it.
