With the recent success of Andor, I'm getting more questions than usual about how to land a job writing Star Wars books, so let's do the yearly How to Write IP thread, shall we? Firstly, IP means Intellectual Property-- that's shows, movies, plays, even books, any world owned by someone else. 1/

One of my TTRPG players is finally getting to be who they really are. Dorian's a good friend, a lovely human, and helluva gamer.

Here's the link to the tag for me Fandom50 posts where I poke at the movies from my entire lifetime. First one is 1975. I initially was just going to do a fave, maybe mention others, but that fell away to me doing lists. Updates on Fridays now... barring life happening. Newest is on top: 1989.

Although I'm a coin-carrying fanboy for the John Wick franchise, I had no idea how I'd feel about Keanu Reeves' iconic hit-man as a supporting character. I need not have worried; Ballerina kicks ass, and balls. Expect plate-fu, ice-skate fu and flamethrower fu. 5/5 film-authority.com/2025/06/06/f...

OH this is VERY bad news. The same liquidator that gutted JoAnns ... now owns Simplicity, Butterick, McCalls and Vogue patterns. They had the ONLY print shop that could make tissue patterns. This will have a bad knock-on effect on pattern makers. craftindustryalliance.org/parent-compa...

The pigment “Egyptian Blue” was invented about 5,000 years ago. It’s the world’s oldest known synthetic pigment. But it was lost to time, until recently.

Moishe orders the same soup he has ordered every Thursday for years. When the waiter brings it, Moishe says, "Waiter, taste the soup." "What's wrong?" "Taste the soup!" "There's nothing—" "Taste the soup!" "Fine! Where's the spoon?" "Aha!" Moishe says triumphantly.
