This is particularly funny because I am literally doing this right now with my porny Romantasy idea. And have done it before, and will do it again.
no for real tho

i cant take the kink seriously until i examine how it reshapes the environment around it

like, we already live in a kink-that-defines-itself-as-normal world (monogamous heterosexuality) and seeing the same done for other stuff is facinating, ive written essays about omegaverse LOL

I woke up way too early today. 3am. I’ll do some reading and writing, I suppose. First, coffee.

I’m watching Landman with my wife. It’s kind of a dumb show and it really lays bare how shitty a writer Taylor Sheridan actually is.

lesson learned from this thread: never interact with any rando on bluesky when they are so culturally and politically illiterate and flat-brained that a satirical and precise visual reference to one of the most famous anti-authoritarian images in modern history confounds or infuriates them.

Look, do I think the Bregman signing is a perfect fix for the Chicago Cubs? No, I don’t. But at least it’s a step, albeit a half-ass one, in the right direction.

The real news out of this is Jed Hoyer and Tom Ricketts actually did something. That, and that alone, is cause enough for celebration.

@moviessilently.bsky.social Are there surviving screenplays from silent films? Like, I can see some films maybe being shot Gonzo style at first, or very organically. But was there a screenplay considered the gold standard like, say, maybe Chinatown is today…or at least was? How important were they?

I was like "huh, things are a bit gunky on Bluesky" and then I remembered we got a Twitter wave and they're smearing up the joint.

Bit of Context:

Prior to WWI and the en masse move to the West Coast, "Hollywood" was trying to class up the joint with fancy overseas shoots, from Wales to Egypt.

The move west happened during the war (assisted by the new Panama Canal) and Hollywood switched to "But can't you just shoot in Yuma?"

I have zero interest in Avatar (beyond mocking James Cameron for clutching pearls at Wonder Woman's bustier whilst insisting on boobz for his non-mammalian babes) but the Discourse has taken an interesting turn.

You know, "it has zero cultural impact" and the response is "nuh-uh! made billions!"

A royal procession in the celebratory 300 YEARS OF THE ROMANOV DYNASTY (1913). The film was released as part of the Kafka Goes to the Movies set as the man himself reviewed it.

Kafka panned the phony pomp and took potshots at the tsar (who dabbled in pogroms as a hobby)

Nothing annoys me more than people doing the unethical thing they wanted to do anyway but painting it as some kind of big ethical stand. "I use AI to help disabled people!" is in the same family.

jibe is to agree

jive is to dance
This is coming from a place of love and support, but…

It’s ‘shoo-in,’ not ‘shoe-in.’

It’s ‘case in point,’ not ‘case and point.’

It’s ‘moot point,’ not ‘mute point.’

It’s ‘hunger pangs,’ not ‘hunger pains.’

It’s ‘jibe with,' not 'jive with.'

Are we going to post all year about how the writers on #chillsubs named us their top fiction magazine? Why yes, yes we are. This is one that makes us so very proud as it's voted on my writers, the reason we got into this in the first place!
