I think it's important to write about how and why we make art because like... humans need to make art, and they need to experience it. It's a way of the human brain processing reality; without enough of it, you go fuckin nuts. So if we can help people make good art, we can offer some nourishment.

Instead of "I apologize for the delay," write "thank you for your patience." In lieu of "sorry for the oversight," write
"if you're so perfect, why don't you fu*king do it, Marsha."

If you want to understand that no, Mark Zuckerman isn't some harmless money-grubbing schmuck, go read the truly shocking "Mindf*ck: Cambridge Analytica And The Plot To Break America" by whistleblower Christopher Wylie. You will have trouble sleeping after reading this book.

I've been to the Jimmy Carter Presidential Library and Musuem in Atlanta. As much as anything else, his library reflects his love of family, his faith and his belief that helping others is the right thing to do.

the stupidest trope in fiction is the “got a tattoo but doesn’t remember” bit
tattoos hurt
they bleed
they require aftercare
now multiply that by eleventy billion to get to the level of stupid it takes to believe that children are secretly undergoing life-altering surgery during gym class

We can all joke how much we hate the Bears (because we do), but no one can deny what an absolute class act Jaylon Johnson was on Sunday. This pic is the antithesis of Charles Martin in the 80s.
