Kinda feels like the people in charge now are those same dudes who take up two parking spaces at Walmart to accommodate their ridiculously jacked pickups.

Feeling pretty disappointed in social media. All my followers are on meta platforms, and they're (probably) about to devolve into an X-style mess.

I almost complimented an illustration posted here, but instead, I scrolled past; I have no way of knowing whether it’s AI generated. The provenance of art is important to me. I hope it stays important to the general public, too. Maybe this means the art economy will be more localized in the future.

I’ve been editing the same scene in my third draft for TWO WEEKS. It’s a love scene fraught with moral and philosophical complications—but, of course, those have to take a backseat to character and story. And it’s all in first person. Why do I do this to myself? Screw you, past Jeff 😡

After 15 years of owning a touch screen phone, I still imagine I could type faster and more accurately on my an old physical keyboard. Is this phonestalgia?

Best part of the Hard Fork Thanksgiving 🦃episode was @caseynewton.bsky.social connecting the invention of fire DIRECTLY to podcasting with no intermediate steps. Stunning clarity of thought. Thanks for the laughs and knowledge!

WICKED is spectacular. Ariana Grande’s performance is joyful and layered. Cynthia Erivo is deservedly Oscar-bound. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book rec for parents, siblings, just about anyone: REMARKABLY BRIGHT CREATURES by @shelbyvanpelt.bsky.social. A true laugh-cry-make-you-grateful kind of book. WITH AN OCTOPUS POV! My favorite book of 2024.

Hear, hear. And, if you live in a town that only has a Barnes & Noble, it’s okay to go shop there! We need big retail too. Please just avoid buying books from AMZN if you can.

How’s everyone doing after a full day with family? I still want to crawl in a hole and speak to no one.

There’s no Thanksgiving like a Filipino karaoke Thanksgiving. 🎤🦃
