In "White Rural Rage" Paul Waldman and and Thomas Schaller finally wrote the book that stops treating rural white voters like children, instead of adults responsible for their choices.

As someone who grew up in rural Texas, I'm thrilled. My interview with them.

La ricerca delle location dell'intera scena quando Fantozzi, Filini e Calboni andarono all'Ippopotamo nel film "Il Secondo tragico Fantozzi", dalla telefonata in cabina al rientro in taxi. Pagina quasi commovente.

Un interessante articolo de Il Post su Dune.
Denis Villeneuve: "il romanzo è stato a lungo considerato impossibile da adattare. Perché è raccontato con molti monologhi interiori, pieno di spiegazioni e di dettagli che in un film commerciale tradizionale, uno che segua tutte le regole delle (1/3)

“Dune” was translated into Hebrew by Emanuel Lotem, who passed away recently. Lotem left a deep stamp on SF&F in Israel, and while his style was sometimes cause for contention (as in his heavy re-editing of LOTR), it worked particularly well for “Dune”, one of the pinnacles of his career. >

I'd like to adapt "The Torment Vortex" as a disruptive technology.
Happy Friday! We were wondering: If there was one piece of media you could give a perfect adaptation in another medium, what would it be?

“Why did you write this book!”

because I think my daydreams are better than other people’s and I want everyone to know about them
“Why did you write this book?”

“Because I really wanted to write that one scene on pg 213.”
Author note time:
"Why did you write this book?"
"Because I am bad at office jobs."
"Why did you write this book?"
"I was violently mad, but bad at violence."
"Why did you write this book?"
"I needed to do something instead of the laundry."
"Why did you write this book?"
"Because I have no shame."

I recently made a comic complaining that NASA refuses to listen to my good ideas for improving the Solar System (xkcd.com/2750).

To my delight, NASA’s Science Mission Directorate has sent me an actual expert panel evaluation of my “flatten the planets” proposal! Sadly, they decided not to fund it.

I take a girl home. We go to the bedroom. She takes off her clothes. “I don’t know how to use that,” I say. “I don’t think I can use that here. Hmm, I don’t want to do that right now.”
