Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

We're all descendants of a bunch of Mesozoic mammals who scrambled around trying to avoid being lunch for dinosaurs.
I don't know what that makes you feel, but remember how far your DNA has come, and that there lies within you a plucky survivor.

For further context twitter added a button that allows users to generate ai images using existing art posts from artists. It removes glaze and it basically reskins the artwork by using the existing work as a base. Twitter is no longer a safe space for art

Tonight is Christmas Eve, when we in Iceland open presents. All the Yule Lads have already come down from the mountains, but tonight the Yule Cat arrives and he will eat all the children who weren't gifted any new clothes for Christmas.

Important 🧵.
I've friends writing in every branch of fiction. Pay attention when a sales silo is hit.
Books are under attack on multiple fronts. Care when it erupts in another area--because this is another mirror/shadow of "real life."
Certain groups are coming for all of us eventually.

It is about this: because so many people do not give a shit about romance, shit gets tried in romance first.
You should pay attention to romance publishing news and care about it, because they will try that shit here first.

It’s been said before, but one of the reasons some people love college so much is because it’s the only time in their lives when everything they need is within walking distance (or has a transit option.)
The people yearn for dense, walkable urban areas with public plazas!

As travel abroad has become common for more Americans, many have enjoyed Europe’s vibrant squares. Why doesn’t the United States have more of that kind of gathering spot and is change afoot?
