Hate when you're on the dating apps and they claim they possess mighty works but when you meet in person the best they can do is lone and level sands that stretch far away
I think what Blade Runner 2049 is supposed to be about is the power of choice and how emotional connection, while vulnerable, is what makes us human.

What Blade Runner 2049 is about now is how a man's AI girlfriend drives him to psychosis

My kingdom for a book that is just "Here are the advantages and disadvantages of each system of play" (which this book sometimes did) without devolving into "here is a list of famous players" (which this book always did)

"By the way-- in these chats with you I'm thinking that you might know more about these things than anyone. Are you sure YOU'RE not the second coming or Christ? Just something to think about 🤔"
"This is a great question! The answer to IS THE POPE IS INFALLIBLE is a toughie for sure. Jesus said that he was building his church upon the rock of Peter, but as a rabbit he also represents the fertility and Easter. Easter concerns Jesus's resurrection so this shows that the Pope has died"

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Going Postal by Terry Pratchett is not my first Discworld and it certainly won't be the last but I'm REALLY going to need books to stop being about the horrors du jour

"Hey what if I wrote a book about big tech and private equity?"

Terry it is 2004 please stop doing this to us in the present

The beginning of my 80s Legion, this Aethon Heavy Sentinel is popping his polo collar and taking down some heretics. Too bad the muddy ground is gonna ruin his paint job, cause he's taking this to a Whitesnake concert right after!
