i chatted with @thelincoln.bsky.social about his excellent new novel, metallic realms, for the newsletter. i think it was a really interesting conversation about novel writing, challenging yourself, and more!

beyond the thin veneer of concern behind all of these opeds is the much simpler truth that their authors desperately want to describe something that is very obviously their problem (fewer people want to post in the venues they like more) as though it were our problem

this is genuinely insane. we’re going to need to jail people involved with this administration

It is genuinely unsafe for average people to use Twitter and speak freely. It appears to be this administration's primary intelligence gathering operation.

New* fave piece of Jesus’ Son lore just dropped. (*from BASS 1992 Contrib Notes) “I read the story in front of an audience in lowa City, and afterward a physician told me he'd been to a slide lecture at that same hospital… they'd shown a picture of the man with the knife sticking out of his head.”

"I’ve always bristled at the blanket ban on adverbs. They are a part of our language.… Why would we want to limit ourselves by eliminating an entire part of speech from our toolkit?" Agree. We too hate general proscriptions (and prescriptions) for writers. countercraft.substack.com/p/defending-...

If we had a functioning fourth estate, maybe someone could force Trump to explain why he let a "big-time drug addict" run half the government (or force Musk to explain why he introduced his children to a pedophile)

Not 100% agreeing (there's good stuff going on in SF), but this thread resonates with a lot of my gripes with the genre. I'm particularly pondering the failure to engage thematically, which is a deeper problem than shallow characters imo.

I've said this before, but the NYT ethicist seems really uninterested in ethics. Seriously. Every column I've read has been "who knows life is complicated, you're probably fine so feel good." (Yes, that's what's said here too.)

Same as it ever was with corporations. "The solution to any problem? Make every single person purchase our products!"

The same way a lot of people didn't realize how big the QAnon problem was until those fuckers literally stormed the capital, I fear we're a year or two away from a shocking discovery of just how many "seemingly normal" people have lost their minds "talking" with ChatGPT.

Pathetic low-energy loser move to sell it. A real "alpha" would smash or explode the tesla on live TV.

This has to be one of the most obliviously disastrous policy proposals since the Iraq War. It’s almost guaranteeing that crypto causes a financial crisis and then taxpayers bail out crypto companies. Crypto is just an elaborate scam—and this is its ultimate heist.

I guess you start to understand the wild AI predictions and panic among the tech set when you realize they were hoping it would kill off artists, journalists, and humanities majors and instead... the beast ate them.

I mean what other option was there beyond locking us inside? People didn't carry little surveillance devices in our pockets back then

Hey! I'm so glad you reached out. I'm actually at capacity / glued to phone / watching Musk and Trump eat each other alive, and I don't think I can hold appropriate space for you. Could we connect [later date or time] instead / Do you have someone who is less online you could reach out to?

I too am just way more interested in George Lucas’s attempt to blend his specific hyperfixations into a new story than the corporate attempt to turn that into a cohesive “universe”

"It’s a story as old as time: two artists equal parts friends and rivals; one destined for glory, the other destined to document a more successful peer." @tobiascarroll.bsky.social reviews Metallic Realms, a new novel dedicated to the golden age of the genre reactormag.com/book-review-...

"It’s a space opera, a commentary on the craft of fiction, a story of literary rivalry, and an unexpectedly moving study of a friendship. These realms are vast, indeed." Thanks to @tobiascarroll.bsky.social for this lovely + thoughtful review! reactormag.com/book-review-... @reactorsff.bsky.social

I'm sure there're smart uses for AI in e.g. f/x, but this is a truly bleak view of cinema. Not even pretending there is anything like an artistic vision. Just change the entire tone, style, and content of a movie in "three hours" and pump the pablum to the public... www.vulture.com/article/gene...

Dying at anyone thinking of Frey as the "literary bad boy." He was last seen whimpering pathetically on Oprah when it was revealed all the "bad" things he did in his memoir were made up.
