Saw a crowd work short from a performer where she picked on a “Jason Mamoa look alike” who was indeed hot and adorable and she asked what he did for work and he said “I teach companies to use Chat-GPT” and then the entire audience groaned in disappointment and I thought my god maybe there is hope.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

We're off to the witch
We may never, never, never, come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth the lifetime
We're all born upon the cross
We're the throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

I think @brianbeutler.bsky.social got it right when he compared this horrid spectacle to "Bumfights for the literati"
At a certain point, all the Nuzzi/Lizza/RFK/Sanford/whatever stuff starts to feel like we're all being forced to participate in some weird fetish of the media elite.

Sorry to spoil a 100-year-old franchise, but Ozma of Oz basically features a trans character who's unaware of their true identity until the last chapter.
Well, there are a bunch of L. Frank Baum they could actually read...
‘Wicked: For Good’ is a box-office smash. Now, the process of figuring out another sequel is ‘underway’ at Universal, the studio’s chief marketing officer tells us.

Tik-Tok of OZ? no way they could make that relatable to a modern youth audience. And we need a narrative with product placement potential…
