All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

Oh hell yeah! I loved season 1 and was wondering when they'd do this. Gonna have to cook up/order some gyozas and rewatch it to remind myself what happened though

As happy as I am for other authors when they get a publishing deal, I also get such immense FOMO about it. I want that to be me so badly!

Gonna try to hack out some time next week to start submitting to agents again, I reckon

Immortal Space Captain Matt Holland Author Dot Com does have a ring to it if you pronounce it with the right flourish

The one thing that puts me off option 1 is the "no opt out". And that's only because I don't want to be endlessly drifting through space forever at the heat death of the universe. But then, I'd also have an eternity to lawyer myself into an opt out clause or invent a spaceship or something

James's fundraiser is only two and a half grand from reaching its goal. It's a lot of money for any one of us, but small amounts from a lot of us might push it over. If you can spare anything I'm sure it'll be appreciated massively

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

News like this makes me think the next thing I write should be a suicide note, not necessarily for myself either

honestly why do we even bother

Substack post from Lincoln Michel:

"Alchemised debuts at #1 with massive sales, making it the THIRD Harry Potter Draco-Hermione friends-to-enemies fan fic to be turned into a bestselling novel in 2025. It's easy to say that publishers are just feeding readers slop, but harder to admit that they... enjoy it. They’re going to keep publishing it if people gobble it up by the ton."

Never forget the core thing funding the sheer scale of the spending spree of AI investments is primarily due to the turborich wanting to solve the “problem” of having to pay wages.

I get this. I despise shopping. Even if I go out with a list, all of it falls out of my head the instant some numbnuts blunders into me while staring at their phone

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

So tired that my eyes are doing that "blinking one at a time" thing. Where the fuck was this enthusiasm for sleeping at 4am last night?

As a lifelong hate-watcher of #BBCQT it's been incredible to see the tone shift in last night's prog with @zackpolanski.bsky.social on. It should have never been that hard to call for common sense - and actually popular - policies. Someone is actually doing it.
