Right, let’s have a proper go at this again seeing as Twitter is an ongoing trash fire of phobes and asshats.

I wonder if I (or you) know of any film magazine/website editors open to commissions on pieces about Train Dreams and how it, sort of, managed to film a book I once thought impossible to bring to the screen?!

Editors - Looking for a WoW Midnight beta (or beyond) person? I've been playing WoW since closed beta days in 2004 and I've written about it for SO many outlets (including Edge last year which was v cool).
Reach out if you need a WoW person! :)

It is not misconduct to unionize, and I hope that Rockstar and Take-Two face serious legal challenges for what seems to be a very clear-cut case of union-busting.
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.
Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

So pleased to see that Daniel Day Lewis has been singing the praises of Kent Haruf, and especially Plainsong and Eventide – two of the greatest novels ever written.
Seriously, if you have yet to read them, I think they are essential.

Loving Pokemon Legends: Z-A, so far. But The Pokemon Company and Nintendo really need to start using voice acting for cut scenes. It’s all lovely, cute visuals, but the characters lack that spark.

This might be the best modern horror novel I’ve read in years. As someone who so rarely gets scared by horror, one scene had me feeling incredibly unsettled. And I’m only 120 pages in.

Here’s to remembering why we picked up the controller in the first place.
Not to argue.
Not to compare.
But to live a hundred lives we never could…and feel every single one of them.
Video games weren’t made to divide us… they were made to move us.
Let’s never forget that 💙

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.
The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.
