"...very little if anything we write can truly be original, but the one original thing we get to bring to the table is ourselves." Great post from Chuck here, check it out!
So I got to attend a Q&A with Tom Morello (guitar legend of RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE fame), and from him I heard a very smart creative lesson, applicable to more than just musicians -- thought I'd share it, and some further thoughts and stories here:
A Very Good Piece Of Creative Advice From Tom Morello
As a cantankerous alt-rock grunge-loving teenager, I was not particularly a Rage Against the Machine guy — I mean, I liked the music but it didn’t connect with me, and my theory now as …

Like a lot of you, hopefully, I'll be spending a lot less with huge corporations during the economic blackout that's covering Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

A reminder: For the Holidays, your friends and families want books. Buy them books. If you aren't sure which book to get them, buy them more books. People want books!
My family has been calling me a luddite for years, & I’ve never felt better about that moniker than I do now, after a cities conference highlighting AI data centers & a new push for more surveillance downtown. We don’t have to participate. This year, shop in local stores, buy actual books. 📚🎄🕎
Christmas is coming, and the Black Friday sales signal we’re in peak gift-buying season.
When you’re picking out gifts for friends and family this year, there’s a whole slew of tech products that are better to avoid. I put together a guide to help you through it.

Thanks, Gabino! Four Weddings and a Funeral Director is a very silly, very weird romcom that channels the Barbie X Goth House meme. 💍 🪦
It's currently just 99p on the UK Amazon store: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DK8L8BHV.
Also, the print version is half price on the TikTok store!
