If anyone used to follow me on Twitter and is checking here to see why my account is gone, I closed it after it became clear (months after) that Chancellor Elon Musk is an irredeemable bag of shit. I had a threads account but am deleting that after meta gave money to Rapist Trump. They did it for different reasons than Musk, but you absolutely cannot trust a company that fellates fascists like this. When he comes asking for a list of names of people who have criticized him, and their private messages, why would they refuse? Bluesky account is : zebharadon.bsky.social

Here's a letter I wrote to Judge Juan Merchan to encourage a harsh prison sentence for Convicted Felon Trump. I don't know that it will matter, but judges to sometimes take victim impact statements into consideration in sentencing. Honorable Judge Juan Merchan New York Supreme Court 100 Centre Street New York, NY 10013 Dear Judge Merchan, I am writing to you as a concerned citizen and as one of the 300+ million victims of the fraud perpetrated by Donald J. Trump which he was just found guilty of in The People vs. Donald J. Trump. As a voter, I trusted that the individuals seeking public office would uphold the integrity and values expected of our leaders. The actions taken by Mr. Trump, specifically the hush money payments to Stormy Daniels and the subsequent cover-up, have shattered that trust and caused immense harm to our democratic process. The recent conviction of Mr. Trump for his involvement in these fraudulent activities has brought to light his blatant disregard for th...

 I have a new movie, The Epic of Gilgamesh, which will be online shortly. Here is the trailer: It was made with generative AI tools, and is an adaptation of the classic epic, made in several different silent movie styles.

I just finished a new movie, The Eternal Recurrence. It won't be public for at least a few months at least, as I submit it to film festivals. Here is the synopsis: An experimental film made with AI tools, The Eternal Recurrence follows a week in the main character Jim’s life, focusing almost entirely on his dreams. A subconscious Walter Mitty, Jim’s nightly journeys through his warped memories, violent fantasies, and existential regrets contrast starkly with his mundane waking life, which mostly consists of failing to attend meetings at work and watching monster shows with his wife, Jill. This film can also be watched as a collection of stand-alone shorts. The movie is meant to be in the vein of Maya Deren, and early Luis Buñuel/Salvador Dali collaborations.  Here is the trailer:

I've just published a trilogy, The Disposable Soma (also the title of the first book). The whole trilogy covers the American presidential elections of 2164, 2172, and 2180 through the lens of Jim Liu, a failed stand-up comedian and hotel heir who first tries to get the nomination of a third party, then becomes a Democrat and tries to become vice president, and finally switches to the Republican party and runs for president.  Here's the trailer:  The Disposable Soma (2023) - The year is 2164 and politics has become unrecognizable. Democrats have become conservative, Republicans have become liberal, and an upstart party called the Empathy Party blames all the world's ills on sociopaths. An assassination leaves the Empathy Party's candidacy wide open and a clown car of candidates vies for the nomination. One, hotel heir and failed comedian Jim Liu, stands out from the others when he chooses a genetically modified, super-intelligent, opium-addicted parrot as his running ma...

I'm experimenting with creating AI-generated trailers for my books. I started with The Orphans, here is my first attempt:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wO_sYYpJsU The images were created in Midjourney, then converted to video in Runway's Gen2. The music is from YouTube's free music library. I'll eventually make trailers out of all my books. I generally like how it turned out. Link to buy the book:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009C3NO6S
