Is there a starter pack of creatives who talk about the craft & their process? My tl is 99% links to buy - which is great! - but I'm also interested in the work that goes into the work. You know? (Any genre, but music & writing would be especially nifty.)

Hey, Prime! I'm a read every single movie credit until the screen's blank kind of person. Stop auto-playing whatever you think I want to watch after "The End," because what I want to watch is the name of every single person who helped make what I just watched. Please & thank you.

My great grandparents flirted over telegraph for months before ever meeting irl. They worked for the telegraph company & later had a machine in their home so they could message the neighbors. I thought it was magical! They'd love social media.
Telegrams were costly back in 1870. You paid by the letter.

What did he mean?

Sometimes I have trouble remembering things because my brain won’t do what I want it to do, and sometimes I have trouble remembering things because I refused to write it down because I didn’t like the kind of pen that was available and that’s a pretty accurate snapshot of how I roll

Screenwriters, please don't use AI art to pitch your work. There's plenty of extant art you can use, and plenty of artists you can work with, and many will meet you where you are financially.
AI is bad for artists. AI is bad for the environment. And each time you use it, you're voting for more.

"I've been doing both
Spanish and the music lessons on Duolingo. Tell me why in this music lesson they had me play the "bring my parents back" song that's about how duo kidnapped this kid's parents because he wasn't practicing enough"

South Korean lawmakers have already moved to impeach Yoon Suk Yeol after his martial law fiasco.
That’s what courage in the legislative branch looks like.
Too bad we have none of that here.
