Buyers: So your games... guns and football, yes?

EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.

Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?

EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.

This article got me thinking about the subject: "Television is preoccupied with literary adaptations about troubled rich white women, barbed satires about absurdly wealthy people on vacation, thrillers about billionaire enclaves at the end of the world." www.theatlantic.com/culture/arch...
Money Is Ruining Television
Depictions of extreme wealth are everywhere on the small screen and, well, it’s all quite boring.

In 2023 I went to AuthorCon for the first time. Even though I went as a fan (not selling), I had a horror novel coming out the following year and wanted to get the lay of the land in the horror community. I didn't know anyone at all except for @manylittlewords.bsky.social, who, of course 1/16

Destabilization of reality in the US is about to reach surreal heights. Protect your mind. Monitor stress levels. Do not doomscroll--it does not help. Be selective about when and how long you expose your brain to this. Do what you can when you can.

Writers, you might be struggling rn.

Math might help.

No, seriously.

If you write 300 (around a page) words a day, you will have an 80k book in 267 days. Less than a year.

If it's 200 words, it will take a little more than a year.

Doing it slowly is still doing it. 💪

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.

We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.

It's great, I love it.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

I requested a book from the library, but when I went to pick it up the librarian gave me the wrong book. However, the book looked interesting, so I read it anyway and thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope this check-out chaos continues in the future
