Hi, new followers!
You may know me under other names (none dead but most of them sleeping.) I do online community - I've worked in MMOs, at Metafilter (as restless_nomad) and currently do PA work for SF writers. (DM me for rates!)
Stand by for cat pics and rants about the internet. Welcome!

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

We have had three herding dogs over the last ten years, all of which should have Had A Job, and yet two of them were Dipshits and one of them routinely Picked Fights With God.
No matter the breed, every dog has one of three default dispositions:
1. Dipshit
2. Has a Job
3. Trying to Pick a Fight with God

My actual dad's favorite movie was Father of the Bride. Followed, iirc, by Dumb and Dumber.
So, uh, this category is a little opaque to me.

Hey folks!
Due to a series of unforeseen expenses, I need to raise some cash before royalty season rolls around at the beginning of April. Because of that, I am going to do something I don't usually do and offer paid mentoring sessions for aspiring writers.

Hot take: The "Phantom Tollbooth" characters King Azaz and his brother, the Mathemagician, are prefigured by two 9th century Byzantine intellectuals, Patriarch John VII, known as John the Grammarian, and his cousin, the archbishop of Thessalonica known as Leo the Mathematician.

The main damage I walked away from game dev with is that I enthusiastically read patch notes and roadmap posts about MMOs that I no longer play.

A-fucking-men. I kinda doubt the people who make this joke have ever heard anything but their radio singles
Same thing a decade earlier with jokes about Dave Matthews Band. I would love to have a critical discussion of them! But "that band is lame" ain't it

All the jokes about Coldplay are kind of getting up my ass. Not because I love Coldplay that much, but "Coldplay is bad" has been a hack take for like 30 years. It's one of those things people without any real sense of critical taste feel like they have cover to say.
First two Coldplay albums are good as hell by the way. Next two have some very good songs as well. 👨⚖️

I read this in one much-too-late-at-night sitting and it's absolutely delightful. Funny, sapphic, with an eldritch horror aesthetic but it's really structured more like a cozy mystery.

The threatening nature of AI being dropped by its evangelists is, and always was, a sales pitch aimed at the people who had money to invest. Now that that phase is drying up, and the tech requires end users, they now need the support of the people they alienated with that same pitch.
I continue to have no sympathy left for whinging about how the public are rude about AI and feel threatened by it when the biggest players in the AI space have spent years very vocally and constantly *threatening the public*
