Turns out peacefully protesting didn't convince Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader they were in the wrong. And you have to start throwing a few bombs or joining rebel alliances if you want real change.

How do I make a formal request to Pope Leo to send a bishop to a monastery for a few years of silence?

This has also struck me about Starship in particular. Granted, I'm absolutely not an engineer. But while few test runs is one thing, it kinda feels like, at some point, the overall Starship design may just have some…fundamental issues?

What this administration's staunchest supporters fail to realize is that the Trump Thought Machine relies on denigrating the Other. Yesterday it was Trans people, the day before, it was women, last week it was government workers. Tomorrow, we'll whip back around to immigrants.

Our updated comment is linked. When I acquired this magazine it was because I wanted to do something good. Just because I think we’re already doing good, doesn’t mean we can’t be doing better. Let’s go write, read, and otherwise find ourselves in fiction ✍️ www.patreon.com/posts/future...

@tkingfisher.com's "Nettle & Bone" has one of the most effective and archetypal beginnings. Writers will benefit from studying her. Protag is: 1) alone 2) in motion 3) doing something that reveals character and is central to the plot thearchetypist.substack.com/p/beginnings...

One of my favorite moments of the year so far happened yesterday when an AI game developer told me "saying AI is theft is a slap in the face to people like me" And I said "good. It was supposed to be"

I still do not want to start down a The Lawyers Are Our Resistance Heroes path, but credit where it’s due, that’s a bar. Guy really got to publicly quit with a “couldn’t be me bitch,” may we all get to do something half as satisfying someday www.nytimes.com/2025/02/14/n...
