You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

I hate everything about this AI "writing" thing, but just to pick one top line from this: YOU DON'T WIN AT WRITING YOU DIPSHIT. THAT'S NOT A THING.
I'm going to win.

Eendennieuws.
Today we’re bringing you this charming print by Ohara Koson.

Koson was a Japanese painter and woodblock print designer. He was famous as a master of bird-and-flower designs and was a prolific artist, creating around 500 print designs during his lifetime.

Uitstekende onderzoeksjournalistiek van De Correpondent over een zeer geheime, en ondemocratische, geheime dienst in Nederland.
Geen crimineel, geen terrorist, toch geschaduwd: zo volgt de politie vreedzame activisten
TOOI: een geheime politiedienst in Nederland waar je waarschijnlijk nog nooit van hebt gehoord. Maar als je weleens meedoet aan demonstraties of een XR-sticker op je koelkast hebt, dan bestaat de kans...

Do one of the things that makes you feel better, because if you aren't doing any of that, you will run down. Today I did some writing. I'm a writer, & if I don't write, I run down. It's very easy for me to forget this, despite decades of knowing it. And so I am here to remind you to do your things.

Andrew has really taken one for the team (ie everyone) here. This thread continues long past the point of despair, and is worth every post
I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

Jeuj!!
Fantastische overwinning! Verbreding van A27 bij Amelisweerd gaat eindelijk van tafel. Geweldig gedaan @habtamudehoop.bsky.social, @ineskostic.bsky.social & @sandrabeckerman.bsky.social

Na jarenlange strijd van burgers, actiegroepen, de Partij voor de Dieren, GL/PvdA en vele anderen wint de natuur!
Tweede Kamer wil toch geen verbreding A27 bij Utrechts natuurgebied Amelisweerd
De verbreding van de snelweg is omstreden omdat er opnieuw een stuk bos bij Amelisweerd voor gekapt zou moeten worden.

Trump has lost his mind. His speeches are insane, misspelled ravings about the 2020 election, filled with bad grammar and shotgun caps. If this guy were a mayor in Anytown, USA, he would be told politely but firmly to surrender the gavel and get medical help.

@snellarthur.bsky.social I read 'Lute' over the past week on your recommendation. Terrific! Brutal, but terrific. And the war in the background is indeed a little too close for comfort, brrr.

Plus een fijne peptalk voor het nieuwe jaar van Ann Leckie.
This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write."

A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption.

B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

Ik herlees 'Pattern Recognition', uit 2003, voor de zoveelste keer, en het is zó schattig dat Gibson uitlegt hoe emoticons werken. En dan niet eens de plaatjes, maar die oude, met 8-) enzo. Awww!
Ook had ik de eerste jeer dat ik het las geen idee wat Pilates was. Nostalgie.

🤩 Jay is een schatje.
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Today, thoughts inevitably turn to a man whose life and death will always be associated with this time of year – a man whose purity of heart and good works alike contain, I think, the true spirit of the season.
On the true meaning of Christmas
Some notes on the man who to me represents the spirit of the season.

What’s #Christmas without the stunning Wilton Diptych? A rare surviving set of tempera panel paintings, a portable set made for the private use of Richard II, King of England from 1377 to 1399. The brilliant blue garments of the angels are painted with ultramarine, made from lapis lazuli. 🎄 1/
