nothing proves that there are different kinds of intelligence quite like some people’s absolute insistence that cooking requires directions to the absolute minutiae or no one could ever possibly do it correctly
no, some of us are actually just… observant and can figure things out

how dare you speak such things into the universe
We as a country must dedicate our entire national energy to making sure that Ryan Murphy does not make a mini series about Olivia Nuzzi and Ryan Lizza.

The faintest glimmer of hope that I have is that my book series sold like absolute dirt but I still earned out on that advance to the point that two years after the 3rd book's release, I still get a few thousand a year in royalties.
Take that, statistics.

Male loneliness will continue until the whole damn system improves. I used to care about changing men's hearts and minds. Now what I want for women is rights and money.

Dear GarageBand:
I literally never want to re-download the essential sounds library. How have I been using this program for 6+ years and still do not have the option to tell you to never try to download the sounds library ever again?

For every misstep Murphy makes he makes a really strong, succinct message about a real thing that everyone needs to know about.
Please watch this.
The Senate killed a bill to ban state regulation of AI by a vote of 99-1 this spring. Now the industry - eager to stay unregulated - and Trump are scheming to shove the provision in the national defense bill.

I often see people post that if something isn't available to them when/how/priced how they want, that piracy hurts corporations more than individuals and all it shows is that you sincerely, sincerely believe that your instant gratification is more important than someone else paying their bills
Always worth taking a moment to remind you if you’re pirating authors’ book you’re a shitty person. You can rail that our profession isn’t a profession all you want. You can paint yourself as an online revolutionary liberating ideas. It’s all bullshit.
You’re just a shitty person who hates writers.

This is correct. Empire getting their asses handed to them because of their chauvinism about technological advancement by natives who are experts in their local environment, this is George Lucas' capstone metaphor about the self-sabotage of imperial overreach

The movie listed at #1 is so incredibly misplaced that it calls into question the veracity of the entire list. It belongs on the list, yes, but SO MUCH further down. An absolute, credibility-wrecking flub. Boo, @variety.com! Boo!

Larry Hagman played a huge role in the incredible movie FAILSAFE and doesn’t get enough credit for it
As J.R. Ewing, Texan Larry Hagman was the only actor to appear in all 357 episodes of "Dallas." I only mention it because Larry died 13 years ago today, on Nov. 23, 2012. He was 81 years old.

I read Wicked before the musical even made it to Broadway, and I'm always... Fascinated? at the idea that the musical is just so much better than the book. The changes are SOOOO different that they are two wildly different stories based and I wish more people would just be ok with that.
I fell down a hole of "people who love wicked and picked up the book thinking it was going to be a fluffy fantasy romance story"
😂😂😂😂
I adored that book for a long time and was shocked when they made it into a family friendly musical.
It's dark and satirical and wonderful.
