I’m in England, in a field of Barley. Today, I’m going to collect wild yeast under that tree back there, and I’m going to show how to feed and grow it until it’s ready to bake with. We are going to start at the very beginning, and end at the end.

Fuck the haters. I defy you. I am beaming extra love right into your face. Relax and be loved.

This used to be hard; now however NM has all the tax incentives for movies so it’s not even fun.
A movie that takes place where you’re from

When people are mean to you, remember the universal truth that it comes from their own fears, not from a deficiency in you. So don’t react. Chin up. Wait for the reality of their own internal conflict to take care of it.

As a good friend of Neal and a supplier of bread to John I can confirm that this is valid and also only slightly snarky.
I know a number of writers who draft in pen and I consider them like I would someone who insists on making bread by first planting the wheat
And if you're already quite mad, like Neal Stephenson, you might write upwards of 3500 pages with a fountain pen.

It’s a pandemic. I have a special folder for them.
I’m getting more and more of these too. It’s depressing.
I am by no means a prominent public intellectual, but my inbox is increasingly filled with messages from people who have been convinced by sycophantic chatbots that they have discovered revolutionary theories that entirely upend our scientific understanding of the universe.
