old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Wonderful if professionally irrelevant tidbit from my research in Hays Code Production Files, regarding the 1934 film _No More Women_: Delete "You know I always liked to take an experienced girl home." "I ain't experienced." "Well, you ain't home yet."

I totally agree that Romance deals with deep issues, and can hold as much value as any other type of fiction. But also! It doesn’t have to tackle deep issues to be as valuable. And what people mean by deep issues often overlooks depth provided by Romance in many areas that literary fiction ignores.

Never throw your writing away, no matter how crap it may seem. Everything you write teaches you something, and sometimes, you have to write it wrong to know how to write it right.

Please please check your sources before sharing information. Even more so if the story appears to follow your own biases. Screen caps aren't sources.

Just so people understand, Altman has been running Helion for a while, and it is a companion grift to OpenAI. He claims that the energy OpenAI uses won’t matter once his nuclear fusion makes energy cheap and easy, and also, that the new, developing AI will fix all the problems with fusion.

Also, if you're using WORD on a subscription Microsoft will have automatically updated you to the new premium, more expensive version with AI for next time you resubscribe. If you go to your subscriptions the non AI one is still there at the same price but you have to manually swap it back.

How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail: • Go to "Settings" • Go to "General" • Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick) Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢

Look there's a LOT wrong with sci-fi and fantasy books from the 80s and early 90s but those authors would find the thirstiest, most shameless sicko imaginable and pay him $5000 to draw the horniest, most extravagant cover art you've ever seen in your life and we need to go back to those days

J.R.R. Tolkien went so hard on his weird hobby that it became a defining moment in the literary history of the 20th century. May he be an inspiration to us all. Happy Birthday, JRRT!

the progression of AIDS treatment in my lifetime, from how terrifying it was as a child in the 80s to stories like this 40-odd years later, is genuinely one of the human race’s most awe-inspiring scientific achievements. it was a nonnegotiable death sentence for SO LONG

HBO has declined to renew “Sesame Street” for new episodes. The series that’s been teaching generations of little kids since 1969 now has no studio. Please consider donating to Sesame Workshop to ensure the residents of 123 Sesame Street are still around to teach kids of all needs and backgrounds.

The Civ VII theme is live! Working with Christopher Tin has been a career highlight. It started (unsurprisingly?) with the Iliad quote. Once we looked at the original Greek, the idea of a multilingual piece using some great epics that still move us today seemed so fitting for the game’s vision.

No, I don't want the assistance of AI for this. No I don't want the AI beta test version. No I don't want to find out how AI can help me. No I don't want a medium AI with my burger. Fuck. Off.

Degenkolb will return to racing in 2025 at the AlUla Tour, then use the Tour of the Algarve to get himself in shape for the spring classics up to and including his home race Eschborn-Frankfurt on 1 May. We might see his 11th participation in the Tour de France after that :)
