And when you secretly know your career would be maybe half of what it is if not for Tolkien's work that made fantasy fiction a commercially viable possibility, 'cause Elric sure as hell wasn't going to get it done on his own. I like Moorcock's work, but his Tolkien takes are beyond tiresome.

The players (and the coaching crew) can’t help what the team owner does or doesn’t do. But I just feel like putting this out here today.

I want to say, with my whole heart, writing isn't a competition. It's an art. It's something we do with our hearts to make our souls grow and express ourselves and truths about the world and people and even ourselves whether we mean to or not.

No one wins this "race"...because it isn't a race. Beyond the moral depravity of the hollow-shelled hustlers putting out this garbage, the core principle at the center of their logic is the idea that everything is about winning over someone else. No wonder our society is perpetually exhausted.
The whole article is repulsive but this passage is at the core of it. She has no interest in writing books, she wants to win some kind of competition that nobody entered

We should stop saying “AI,” at least without a qualifier like “commercial” or “generative.”
Precisely naming the tools that work & the ones that don’t & their use cases & their social & environmental consequences would go a long way towards improving our communal understanding.

I expect such shenanigans with my forthcoming The 13th Icon players on @gregoryawilson.com twitch channel starting later this month
Me, the DM: I'm worried I haven't prepared enough for tonight's session.
My players: I shall spend an hour examining this stream because a stranger appeared on the other side of it.
Me: cool, cool.
4 hours later... okay? Wanna move on?
Players: WHOA WHOA WHOA, easy there, big guy.

![a classic* Mattie Lubchansky comic:
First panel: Two friends chatting (some dude is lurking behind them)
1st friend: "Wow did you hear about [redacted]? Turns out he's a real creep."
2nd friend: "That's a bummer- I love his movies..."
2nd panel: still chatting, dude is closer
1st: "Yeah they mean a ton to me, too. Lots to reckon with."
Some dude: "It's not a big deal actually, since..."
3rd panel: the dude removes his voluminous robe to declare
Dude: I...NEVER CARED FOR HIS WORK!
1st friend falling to their knees: "Oh my! A true genius!"
2nd friend: "We're in the presence of a visionary"
4th panel: the dude is getting a crown and scepter and robe
2nd friend: "What's your secret?"
Dude: "I've never liked anything or anyone"
