This was my first thought!

I'm kind of shocked it ISN'T some AI bullshit

What if we lashed two dead bodies together? Would they be alive then?

A lot of the time this is "XYZ isn't done, so it would benovel and interesting!" whereas in fact it isn't done because it'd be boring.

If you listen to people on Reddit saying "I want books with XYZ" they will not like the book you write

This is true of being a novelist as well.

Maybe they should start a GoFundMe

I don't think you'd want them as movie 3 of a trilogy, no. I would *definitely* want them as a blue-sky project, like "Ok, go make a Star Wars movie about whatever you want in the universe." That would be awesome.

Tonight's movie is BULLET TRAIN. Fun and weird crazy assassins on a train, like live action Baccano.

Not like this has happened before --

Sorry, HOW many times?

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

I ... thought I did? You agree gardening isn't enough and recommend acorn foraging, though you acknowledge that also has its flaws. I understand that this is what we can offer, but I don't think foraging is going to help either.

Neither of those groups has a ton of spare time for low-margin activities like this.

(That may change if we get more like a Great Depression scenario where millions of prime-age workers can't find jobs.)

While there are probably some able-bodied people who just absolutely can't find work on the SNAP roster, a large part of it is people who either can't work (because they're disabled, elderly, or children) or are already working as much as possible and not making enough.

I mean, I definitely appreciate the impulse, but for a person in actual hunger I just don't think gardening or foraging ever going to be the answer. The returns in terms of calories/hour are just so low compared to virtually any way to make money.

Also the excuses for piracy, "all the money goes to CEOs anyway" etc

Also I feel like it's a lot of work! You can tend a garden in your spare time, but even if you had the land true subsistence farming is a full-time job.

Re publisher marketing on Twitter, someone commented: "It would reach more people if they simply screamed their book blurbs out the window."

This seems like an engineering failure, right? Like the bed should have a failsafe mode that's just "normal bed", which you can activate via a button.

Golden Idol series are some genuinely wild puzzle games and they are BADLY slept on, especially the second

"Hey boss, what should we do for the cover image on our new missile defense puff piece?"

"Maybe something subtle and upbeat."

"How about we superimpose the Death Star on America?"

"Perfect!"

Do movie studios need like, one normal rando who sits around the office to tell execs when their ideas are obviously stupid?
