How I imagine the pitch meeting for SINNERS:
Ryan Coogler: What if you could have two Michael B Jordans?
Producer: I have imagined this frequently, yes.
Coogler: But wait—they're also wearing matching 1930s suits.
Producer: I HAVE THE VAPORS *passes out, money rains down from ceiling*

Like yeah, working out how to relate to other conscious beings that you can’t fully control is hard.
It’s also *necessary.* Trying to make human interdependence invisible doesn’t actually make it go away.
And vulnerability, while it can be scary, is the port for human connection.

Thinking it's "Solved" makes us miss the knife in the hand of those who *really* like the status quo— makes us less likely to push back when they shift their presentation. Because we're so conditioned to want to believe that We Solved That Which Makes Us The Best & Since We're The Best, We Solved It

This is so interesting. With all those massive personalities up there, I mostly think of myself as the straight man! I can't "perform" in the classic sense, but I do like to play games and I have done so publicly as long as anybody. Someday I'll learn to take a compliment without writing a novel.
The #PaxU Acquisitions Inc game went up on YouTube this past week, so I'd like to take this opportunity to point out some things @ghostyghosty.bsky.social and I observed at the time - in particular, what makes @cwtycho.penny-arcade.com an excellent player & worth paying attention to. 🧵:

Right now my horror novel BEDFELLOW is on sale for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long the sale will last.
A signal boost would be a colossal help.

if you're into AI "advisors" and find their insights helpful, may I non-ironically recommend seriously considering: tarot
- connection to your subconscious
- therapeutic or confessional as need be
- patterns of meaning
- self-determined takeaways
- no need to google facts afterwards

FRPG Player Tip: It’s the GM’s job to create a setup for how your character engages with the dangers of adventuring. It’s your job to create the reasons why your character wants to adventure. Figuring out how the setup and the reasons reinforce or oppose each other is what brings the game to life.

I watched The Red King this week and found it really satisfying. It's definitely in dialog with The Wicker Man and is in some ways an interrogation of it; I think it does this in some really interesting ways. Worth your time if #FolkHorror is your jam.

every time you really land a joke, just remind yourself, "wow, all that money and Elon Musk still can't do that"

Not being porn won't protect you, so it's time to protect porn
A lot of creators essentially saying "My work might contain nudity and sexual situations, but it's NOT porn. My work is important and artistic, while their work is dirty, which is still okay to hate and censor." But guess what! The purity squad makes no such distinction.

People shouldn't have to protect their neighbors from being disappeared off the streets by masked and unidentifiable thugs, but the thugs aren't gonna stop, so the fact *so many* people are putting their bodies in between the thugs and their neighbors, all over the country, is beautiful.
