Because the cowardice at universities these days is off the charts.

University presidents used to become governors, senators, leaders of our nation.

Today I wouldn't hire one to run a hot dog stand.

(As you know, I am melting in fangirly glee)

I’ve always felt like your books set a new standard. Multiple stories working together with a fantastic cast of characters - I love that. So inspiring.

I talk to my spiders a lot. I know we're all in this together. And they're doing me a favor.

I imagine "gelatinous" would be really hard to draw! You're on the trail!

Jack Dorsey started something, then a lot of people piled on. Here we all are in the evolution. I think it's coming in a lot of product categories.

Can't wait.

Smart people don't stand around knee-deep in shit, and other smart people often build better tools for smart people to use. And an awful lot of people follow the smart people.

It all starts small then builds.

And I think we're about to see that it will be. Because the vanguard, the explorers, the early adopters, the ones willing to fiddle about a little to get something better, those folks are out there, and often the masses follow them. What's left behind drowns in its own noise.

That's why they're always whining in their anti-trust cases that no! We really do have competition! Because they know they're one step away from obsolescence always. Tech products come fast, but they can go just as fast.

Everything you're using that sucks because of AI can easily be replaced.

Bitnet didn't last forever; Internet connections did more faster.
AOL & Compuserve provided commercial internet access; eventually they were replaced.
Microsoft had a lock on office products, but lots of people now don't use them; they've become a corporate product.

Tech companies know this.

I love this
