If the writer’s eyes light up when asked, “why did the character do that?” then it’s real.

Turns out hiring someone who's only of interest to extremely-online beltway gossip wonks, and who is a shockingly poor writer besides, isn't a massive draw for normal mentally stable people.

This is like that right-wing post of that hot blonde with the huge rack holding the worst-poured beer you've ever seen.
Oh man! This paragraph is brutal. The best thing about this review is it's not trying to be mean. It's just listing how bad the writing is.

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:
I first learned about @themountaingoats.bsky.social cause John Darnielle did backing vocals on an Aesop Rock track, which led me to my favourite song of all time, No Children.
What a goddamn lyricist and what an incredible group of musicians.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Tom Stoppard died today. One of the greatest modern playwrights - Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead was the first play I ever read and is my bucket list show. I remember we looked at it in Humanities class when I was doing the english major thing 10,000 years ago.

So my folks got this little idiot, right? Last weekend I go over, I'm sitting on their couch, and he sidles up and flops down with an elbow resting on my leg like he's a little cool guy.
I gotta admit, I find great comfort in dog. Shame I'm only learning it now, at the end of my life.

Pointed out by my friend @carloshasanax.bsky.social . There's something weird and unsettling about a fairly homogeneous culture spread out across Europe that then collapses into an orgy of genocide.
