This plus when it unlocks tie-ins/callbacks/fixes something thorny I wrote earlier.

Literally why I keep writing. There's no other feeling like it.

It's the detergent. Buy the expensive shit that makes you wince a little at the price. Your dishes will come out clean and you'll save so much time/hassle.

The most expensive dishwasher you can find will still fail to clean properly if you use shoddy detergent.

Just really awesome how our financial elite just spent the last several decades admonishing people for pursing the humanities and creative fields, and are now suddenly pedaling the idea that "there are no good ideas anymore" after spending the last 5 years laying off everybody with a brain

When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.

The necromantic impulses around "genAI" really couldn't be a clearer signal that the technology will be unimaginably damaging if left unchecked

This is, and I cannot possibly stress this enough, a profoundly evil company.

Like,self-evidently, cartoonishly evil.

This edition of BLACK STONE HEART is seriously one of the most beautiful things on my shelves.

The writing and story itself is (obviously) fantastic. The binding is gorgeous. The typeset and pages are gorgeous. The art is gorgeous, and there's even an insane fold-out map.

One of the many reasons AI can't produce good writing is it can't hate its own writing. It can't think to itself "Maybe I'm illiterate" during the writing process. And that's essential

I had a long talk with someone yesterday about how all prior logic and norms about the labor market have been called off because capital is in the final push to finally casualize white collar workers the way they’ve long wanted to do. From AI to non-competes to this. They smell blood in the water.

I truly think self-discipline and delaying gratification are concepts a ton of people just never learn.

I didn't have a choice. We didn't have much money growing up. I spent my 20s broke af

Im pretty grateful for that now. I sit on purchases for a long time and decide if I really need it.

Are you on generic Vyvanse? There was a nationwide recall in the fall that a lot of people missed because they put out the news generally but didn’t tell people who were on it directly.

Check your lot numbers here: www.pharmacy.ca.gov/about/recall...

To me, Christmas isn't about perfection or consumerism. It's about family togetherness. It's about dancing with yetis. It's about making ill-advised, Faustian bargains with the Peppermint Man. It's about shrinking down the super rich and trapping them in snow globe pocket dimensions.
