I had a reviewer, another author, invent creative ways to tell me I couldn't write for shit.
Ah well. Never respond to reviewers.

The contradiction reminds me of Pink: punk aesthetic and attitude, but when you listen to the songs ... pop music.
Just deliberate marketing.

Like Wernor Twertzog said a few years back:
"Dear America: You are waking up, as Germany once did, to the awareness that 1/3 of your people would kill another 1/3, while 1/3 watches."
The fewer people to put in that third group, the better.

I went through my Twitter followers on my account I started in 2012, and maybe a third of them had posted in the last two years. None of them were people I actually knew anymore. I deleted my account soon after.

Still doesn't read like his word salad. Perhaps being put out there so his moron base thinks he's the genius architect behind everything, seeing the vast majority of them support Israel.

Book I'm reading is in another room. But I am outlining the third book in my Speaker Origin series. So much derives from worldbuilding details.
(I'm so full of myself, I actually resized this to avoid spoilers. But I guess you gotta play the part, eh. 💙📚🪐)

Yeah, some people don't know when enough is enough. And then sometimes you get so much of one kind of book that it's almost the same thing. Sometimes, too, it depends on time of day.
I've also found the books feed good: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Started watching it with the missus a while back, and all the original typefaces and such for the show were changed, and it was a nerdly uncanny valley.

I once got let go as an editor when I pointed out an author's 19th book in their series had the same title as their 21st...

Subject was given a mossy dish to perch on where it could have a drink after being escorted off the premises.

Maybe this isn't what you're thinking, but today I'm tired of seeing posts on reddit complaining about being bamboozled by AI scammers on Fiverr and Reedsy, and for the first time in twelve years I've been sitting on my thumbs for weeks.

Yeah, I knew I was pushing it a little with that part. It was maybe ... a little more mutual on one side than the other...
But hey, if you can deescalate tensions in the long run with blue jeans and Radio Free Europe...

For the last 70 years, it was "speak softly and carry a big stick," & the "speaking softly" part was making mutually beneficial deals behind the scenes.
All the greedy chuds now in power ever saw was the stick, b/c nobody w/ sense wanted them close enough to hear the speaking softly parts.

Yep, late-stage capitalism has made an entire generation of tech and finance bros who only know how to get rich by a model of purchasing an already existing property and dismantling it for parts.

Yeah, I don't think any larger company buying up smaller studios has good intentions right now.

Even when they do bring good things, they market it so poorly that it dies, and then in the future some other company kinda sorta picks up the reins and does it far better and is successful.

This immediately leads me to picturing a Fight Club-ish scene where a whole party of various Middle-earth peoples are standing around reciting, "His name is Fredegar Bolger..."

Oof, I was thinking maybe it just wouldn't power on. But this seems far worse.
