the secret to overcoming writer's block is to despair for a few hours and then eventually write for 15 minutes

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Once again thinking about Macaulay Culkin walking into the Parisian café where the wifi password was “Macaulay Culkin” and the owner saying “I knew you’d come here someday”
Even even though the former childhood star is usually able to get away from his famous past in France, Culkin did share a funny story about a Parisian cafe that was using his name as its Wi-Fi password. The actor explained that when he walked into the cafe, a woman handed him a "Home Alone"-era photo of himself on a card. “A waitress just gave it to me and walked away -- their Wi-Fi code was 'Macaulay Culkin,"' the actor said. "When she came back, I said, 'I like your Wi-Fi code.' She goes, 'Thank you,' and I say, 'C'est moi.' She turned white and brought over the owner of the place, who said, 'I knew you'd come here someday.'"

Discworld QOTD, from Guards! Guards!
They avoided one another's faces, for fear of what they might see mirrored there. Each man thought: one of the others is bound to say something soon, some protest, and then I'll murmur agreement, not actually say anything, I'm not stupid as that, but definitely murmur very firmly, so that the others will be in no doubt that I thoroughly disapprove, because at a time like this it behooves all decent men to nearly stand up and be almost heard... No one said anything. The cowards, thought each man.

If your story features a plot driven by characters who just want breakfast, but you never actually explain what they eat at breakfast, this is known as an Egg McGuffin.

In a greasy spoon & just witnessed a fella stride in and ask for a fried breakfast. The cook attempts to ask if he wants the BIG variant only using its in-house moniker with no further explanation leaving him looking bewildered & affronted as she repeatedly responds to his order with "Hungry Tummy?"

Damn you, del Toro. This is even worse than all those movies that made Moby Dick into a mindless beast without an agenda, on which Ahab projected his hatred in an attempt to impose meaning on a fundamentally chaotic world. He should have been an Evil Whale, dammit, w/ top hat and twirly mustache.

Apparently Guillermo Del Toro has ruined Frankenstein by… being relatively faithful to the source material.

Oh my.

Something oddly empowering about clocking into a job where you've already given your two weeks notice. Yeah, I'm taking a 40 minute lunch. What are they gonna do? Fire me?
