Did you ever play the video game? You might have been too young. This whole thing is weird.

As I just told a friend, this is intentional assault.

AI corpos:"you can't stop us from stealing your hero's work and debasing him"

You're right: I can't stop you from being trash humans but no one will ever love you like we love him, you're pathetic.

Oh duh I see the original skeet now.

What does it mean?

What a kind and lovely letter.

… maybe 350k words, the whole story, without the appendices? I’m not sure, but it’s not nearly as much, word count wise, as I would have thought, compared to modern classics.

I still love them, but I get what you’re saying. The actual story, the true narrative, is so much deeper and filled with lore and linguistics and a deep deep love for this entire world he made up. The books really are incredible. About your point about the pacing is a very good one. It’s like…

Yeah I mean I haven’t read it by sight in maybe a decade, but I do vaguely recall not noticing the split as much back in the day. Probably got biased about it because of the way Jackson handled it in the films.

@unftr.com is Manny blooting yet? I wanted to ask him about this hip-hop book you all mentioned on a recent episode.

Dang that looks good.

NGL. Pretty good day to be named Matt today, unlike usually.

@netcub.bsky.social if this is who I think it is, Bear Down.

@mabokkon.bsky.social this is a sneaky profile. I like it.

Setting up a ‘Tweetdeck’ like dashboard for Bluesky using Deck.Blue Deck.Blue is an app you can opt to connect to your Bluesky account that enables you to view posts in a multi-column layout. It is refeshingly very similar to Tweetdeck (which was initially a free a…

Please note I have not tried this: socialmediaforlearning.com/2024/09/22/s...).

This is good too @ohrobin.bsky.social since I'm trying to get used to Bluesky again.

Cryptocurrency. Artificial Intelligence. Fashion. Retail Food.

Justice is poetry @ohrobin.bsky.social

Yes all the time. In fact, I was particularly given the courage to do something in a manuscript I would have never thought possible after reading PLEASE IGNORE VERA DIETZ by A.S. King in, I don't know, 2010 or so.

Because of all the monsters that live beneath the waves!

Why people still put their bodies in the ocean is beyond me.

Happy 50th Birthday, Hip-Hop!

Like, Woody Harrelson?
