I will read every interview with Heated Rivalry writer and director Jacob Tierney because his quotes are truly a reporter's dream: www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...
"They made me feel really old,” he says. “They were like, ‘What is a wolf and why is it on parade?’ And I was like, ‘I hate both of you.’ And I was like, ‘Feist? 1,2,3,4?’ And they’re like, ‘Oh yeah, we watched that on Sesame Street.’ And I was like, ‘Again, I’d like to push you down a flight of stairs. Your youth enrages me.’”

Starting the new year with a renewed hatred for all things Gen AI. So I drew a knight slaying a dragon, can you spot all the hints that the monster is AI? 🌞

Just my two cents, but PWMOV was a fun adaptation and—thank GOD—well lit!

Petite, curvy redhead on the left. Calliope’s crossing her arms over her chest and looking up at the MMC with a slight smile. She has red, curly hair, emerald earrings, a robin’s egg blue blouse and pink, rose-colored pencil skirt. She has on a lanyard and a green and yellow button flair button on her blouse. She’s holding a pen in one hand. Emerson is tall, with dark brown hair and thick dark eyebrows. There’s a hint of five o’clock shadow. He’s leaning against the door frame into Calliope, wearing a white button-up shirt, top button open, red and white striped necktie, navy trousers, and brown oxfords. He’s looking directly at Calliope. Against a pale blue background and framing the cover of romance novel A FINE LINE.

Tearing my hair out over every think piece that ponders why Heated Rivalry has become such a cultural phenomenon without including the part about it being a romance novel adaptation and not just following but respecting the genre’s conventions

I teach bystander intervention for a living and have taught de-escalation to law enforcement.

Trust me when I say that bottle girls, gas station clerks, strippers, front desk employees at hotels and airports, baristas, etc. have better de-escalation skills than any cop I've ever seen.

Meet Calliope and Emerson from my debut romance novel, A FINE LINE!

⏬⏬⏬⏬
“Meet Calliope and Emerson” Red thread curling and connecting, ending in a heart at Emerson’s knee level. Petite, curvy redhead on the left. Calliope’s crossing her arms over her chest and looking up at the MMC with a slight smile. She has red, curly hair, emerald earrings, a robin’s egg blue blouse and pink, rose-colored pencil skirt. She has on a lanyard and a green and yellow button flair button on her blouse. She’s holding a pen in one hand. Emerson is tall, with dark brown hair and thick dark eyebrows. There’s a hint of five o’clock shadow. He’s leaning against the door frame into Calliope, wearing a white button-up shirt, top button open, red and white striped necktie, navy trousers, and brown oxfords. He’s looking directly at Calliope.

Random AI thing: Would you like for us to summarize these three sentences your contact has sent you?

Also, NO, I do not want you to summarize my friend's pithy response.

It’s a good thing I chose to read this in the days after holiday busyness and before real life starts again, because I’m absolutely engrossed in the election results of a fictional small town and the delicious angst of the two rivals-to-lovers running the mayoral campaigns
