This month, I made more from selling a couple of other people's books on ebay than writing an entire book and selling hundreds of copies. Will that deter me from writing more? Yes. Will I let commerce ruin the enjoyment of creating art? Yes.

 Panel 2: Chelsea:  You have to be vulnerable enough to be bad at something to be good at it, but you're too much of a coward.
Panel 3: Chelsea: Because you're soulless.
Panel 4: Saxton disassociating

mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰

mr beast talking about the human lives he has trapped in simultaneous simulations with "cant wait to upload these" is why black mirror can never be as good as it used to be

Three panel comic. In the first, panel, a woman is at her office desktop. In the second, we see a computer screen which reads, "sexiest numbers: 2 5 4 3 1 6 5". In the third, the woman is at her desktop exactly as in the first panel, but smiling and thinking, "I like my job".
