Wayne Shorter often composed with the TV news in the background. Why? “I need to know,” he said, “what I’m writing the antidote for.” www.nytimes.com/2025/09/04/a...

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

TYFT. Her writing was always selfish (and indulgent) and motivated by big advances. Toxic positivity aspirational nightmare.

Erazo also noted that tear gas was used at a time when parents were taking their kids to school and innocent bystanders were on their way to work.

Wow. Day 2 of seemingly the same commentators firmly rooting for Safiullin like he’s supposed to win.

Now he’s playing a seeded player… Auger-Alliassime.

@espn.com what is up with this?

Did not expect this first-round match-up to be this intense. Tomljanovic and Gauff battling to the end…

These numbers just show that we have always had the financial ability to house unhoused folks (and provide many other services provided by many other countries) if we stop overfunding military and police.

Had we done this in any previous administration, we might not be here now.

Not enjoying the commentary on this Monfils - Safiullin match at all @espn.com.

Why are the commentators openly rooting for Safiullin?

It’s weird. And smacks of both ageism and racism.

Muted.

I’m from L.A. We did not feel freer with your jackboots in our city. I’m sure those in D.C. would agree. Get lost with this fascist propaganda.

You get money from a book you published on a date you can't predict. it will be a sum you can't predict. you will never know if the ranch is saved or not. Everyone makes interest off your royalties before you do, and you're probably not making *any* interest at all

And you don't have dental.

No, authors aren't burnt out because "writing without AI is slow"

We're burnt out because we're paid dirt so we need day jobs to survive

Me whenever I recommend Sinners and someone says, “but I don’t like horror movies…”
astoldbynai.blacksky.app nai THEE corpse bride 🦋 @astoldbynai.blacksky.app · Aug 26
The reason Sinners is so good is that it’s not a horror movie. It is a film about the Black experience, and the immigrant experience in America. It tells the story of marginalized peoples and uses vampires as allegory to tell that story. It is SO much more than a “vampire movie.”
