Bumping this as a reminder NYT leans hard on revenue from their puzzles, games, Wirecutter etc to fund their billionaire apologist headlines, contrarian Op-Ed take havers, and iffy/yikes livetweeting style of journo

Accountability day 7: got home from work and spent two hours going over the Badgerton outline, pruning scenes and making sure everything works. Then I rewrote the first part of Foreman Tusk's interrogation. 666 words. Satan, if u can hear me I'd really like to be a good, prolific author. Money, too.

Superman eats a salt shaker while Lois Lane watches.

Imagine that you’re a world famous reporter who starts running a diner to impress your alien demigod boyfriend and you put a bowl of soup in front of him and he just starts eating a salt shaker while maintaining perfect eye contact with you.

Why oh why are my youtube reccomendations suddely filled with oversaturated and possibly AI-enhanced snippets of old CW superhero shows?

Just for laughs...

if anyone wants to hire me for work that matters and makes the world better, my god, the things you could get me to do.

[nods sagely] Avril Lavigne clone

every tiny crumb that leaks out is a career ending bombshell and we’re all just supposed to go on with our lives while our elected representatives shrug and tell us there’s nothing to be done about the president’s involvement in a child sex trafficking operation

What? No, it's not a "mechsplo forcefem" thing – she'd already figured out that she was a girl long before getting into the giant robot. The combat drugs DID however make her gay.

OH FLAM THE LINK

I'm working on a special gift for some special kids, and I'd love some input!

Does anyone know any good freeware "baby's-first" programs? These are kids with broad interests so the sky's the limit! Art, design, media, development tools, anything you can think of!

I will admit the thing that actually surprises me was when a child sex trafficker asks the writer “how do Ieverage the involvement of the guy who may be president in my child sex trafficking” and the writer gives advice, rather than “I should probably tell someone about this.”

I don’t really care if AURORA BOREALIS NORTHERN LIGHTS happened to you. It should have happened to me instead.

Accountability day 6: big housework day, but I also polished a few pages of Badgerton. At this point I have so much of the "important" parts written down that it's hard to get started on those scenes that will connect them. Gotta try harder, make some choices and some cuts. Also, 700 words on U.R.P.

Trying to get ahead of that Joyce Carol Oates dunk

painting: Miss Piggy and Kermit as The Avengers

From the Larchives. A very old acrylic painting I did of Kermit and Piggy as The Avengers. Thought you might enjoy it.

So... when he summoned the sandstorm he was really trying to dick-slap Brendan Fraser's plane out of the air?

This follow up might not be as nuclear but it's like one finishing stab on the agonizing body of the enemy

I hope Olympic showed it to her in an awkward but genuine attempt to make a connection

Goat's a striver, a reacher. Olympic likes to feel like he's settling, like he's doing his partners a favor. He's emotionally healthy like that.

I think he's too basic to be into any of the anthro characters (though if he was it would have been the marathon goat) but I'm positive he loved the walrus president and the whole intro with the torch through the ages.

It gave me very unrealistic expectations for how Olympic fencing works, I was expecting wrestling-style storylines.

I have very fond memories of the fencing segment

this is the shit peter pan imaged when he ate with the lost boys and started to believe in magic again

Joyce Carol Oates should say he can't do backflips off the roof next

Was the otter diving sequence as psychedelic as I remember?

Accountability day 5: came home from work and put dowm 830 words of B-roll for Untitled Romance Project. A character description, a dialogue, a first draft of FMC recalling the worst time of her life... might get more done after dinner, who knows.
