My latest creative venture was sparked in part by browsing for DVDs at Goodwill.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This also goes for *making* art. Telling the A.I. computer “Make a picture of [whatever]” eliminates the opportunity to make discoveries along the way.

There were at least 3 separate times in the 90s when it looked like the United States was about to tear itself apart from the inside. FAR from an oasis.
Thinking back to some of the nostalgiaslop I've read this year about the 90s being an oasis of peace and calm in what people did and enjoyed without social media; are they trying to gaslight people into forgetting that stuff like Jerry Springer existed, where millions of people tuned...

Bit of an unusual request: any big fans of RECESS or its feature film among my peers here? Launching a podcast in January and as part of it we’re doing bonus, “less structured” episodes focused on our niche interests and I’d like to talk about RECESS: SCHOOL’S OUT.
Ideally wanna record by mid-Dec.

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.

A variation of this in the last six months became my canned response to buddies who keep getting rage-baited into dumb NBA and NFL “hot takes” disseminated via social media.
You can’t stop that nonsense, but you can stop engaging with it. Just stop having opinions about bad-intentioned opinions!

Marjorie Taylor Greene's resigning in time to get a pension is a lesson to everyone.
Most Americans don't get *any* pension anymore, but Congress gave itself a pension after only five years of work.
Our "representatives" aren't working for us, they are [barely] working for themselves.

Right now the only way for the vast majority of writers and artists to make any kind of a modest living is to self-publish. All but the luckiest few are having to do this. This means the only income most of us have is from Crowdfunded projects. If you love what someone does & can afford it, pay them

We tend to seriously overestimate the amount of filtration there is between mediums. It's why celebrity/politician books bomb. It's why people can have a massive Bsky following and still struggle with Patreon. It's why people are so hesitant to subscribe to a site they formerly read for free.

For 8 great Star Wars movies (or, more exactly, narrative arcs), that seems more than fair to me. ☺️
Disney Spent More On ‘Andor’ Than Any Of Its ‘Star Wars’ Movies
Disney has revealed it spent $60.5 million on Star Wars streaming series Andor in 2024, giving the show a total cost of $705.5 million - far higher than the spending on any of the movies in the saga.

I literally LOL’d in a parking lot. This is the funniest thing I’ve seen all week.
Q: Are you affirming that you think President Trump is a fascist?

TRUMP: That's okay. You can just say yes. I don't mind.
