Despite a paper trail proving otherwise, Unbound’s administrators claimed they still owned the rights to Effin’ Birds and threatened to sue Penguin Random House if PRH paid me any royalties for my ongoing book sales. Wasn’t resolved until two months ago. They tried to bankrupt me out of spite.

Lol, hell yeah.

commiserations to the norwegians, who will have to console themselves with living in a rich social democracy where everyone is the most beautiful person alive and the right to take two annual ski vacations is written into the constitution

Like I said, I’ve always had great admiration for the people of Argentina and/or Switzerland

It should be a crime to conceal the death of a public official

I'm overhearing a guy talking through the bathroom door to his very young son inside. I'm only hearing one side of the conversation and I gather that the kid may not have made it before peeing himself. The best bit: "Okay, where's your underwear now?" *pause* (Alarmed) "...what do you mean?"

Crazy how People is the remaining publication that just goes for the jugular.

Games no longer come on discs Now they all come on flashdrives They can even come with fun shells with a big place for the label And they'll look good on a shelf Kinda like this

Haaland... destroy him

Finally realized why Mr. Beast's smile is so familiar. He smiles like the guy on the cover of the Camp Jellyjam Goosebumps book

Favourite Ayo Edebiri picture just dropped.

I'm not even joking when I say that, as a former writing teacher, I think even the act of bullshitting through a 10-page paper on a book you only skimmed is also incredibly valuable learning.

And my week was going okay up til now.

As a fan of the novel, I was super excited to learn that The Luminous Dead was adapted into a stage play, and now that it's on demand, I was happy to check it out when given the chance. Tl;dr- there's a ways to go to deliver on the ambition, but lots here is impressive. I liked it a lot. 1/5

People getting worked up about nostalgiaposts like this don't seem to realize people aren't lamenting companies, they're remembering evaporated forms of community. Yes, get DVDs from your library! But are you going to ride your bike with your 5 best friends there then curl up together to watch it?

That reminds me, I should finish Heated Rivalry

The Librarians Film is officially a nominee for an EMMY! So proud to be a part of this film and its message is more important than ever. @thelibrariansfilm.bsky.social @pbs.org

Got so riled up I blogged it, shoutouts to data viz aftermath.site/ai-education...

This goes down smooth as battery acid. It's a bitter, nihilistic portrait of self-loathing, the director criticizing himself as a miserable louse. It's not all killer but the final third in particular is nasty in the best way it can be.

Every time I see one of these ads I think about how many people could have been helped with the money our government spent on this bullshit propaganda and my blood fucking boils

more information on how layoffs have impacted microsoft studios continues to trickle out. today I've confirmed that blizzard china suffered layoffs, and id software lost around half its staff just as it released dlc that required "significant" crunch

also I saw another post on here that used the word “notsee” instead of just saying the word and I want to be perfectly clear: you need to take that shit back to tiktok

Bumping this to say that there are 44 rentals left!

I fucking hate that we have to completely change the way we write, just to differentiate ourselves from the trillion-dollar technology that’s ruining our industry, ruining our livelihoods, ruining the art forms, doesn’t even work, and couldn’t exist in the first place unless it stole from us.

THE ACKROOMS

i believe that the the entire "binge watch" model of releasing television series is based on a faulty premise, and that faulty premise has significantly devaluated television as an art form. stick with me on this one...

i'm just so... sad

Honestly, this is an insult to sociopaths

shah also served as deputy director of the national CDC and is a respected expert on rural health (which will be especially relevant as republican cuts start to fully kick in)

There’s never been anyone whose involvement more completely and immediately poisons vibes and destroys joy. No good thing survives contact.

If you read just a few comments on any article about Graham Platner it should become crystal clear why victims don’t come forward earlier. The level of cruelty people direct at victims is gutting

You could build an entire indie game out of the premise of this dialogue box.

Girl, get in line.

Erik's art and my writing coming together is basically like this:

Forgot to put out this PSA before the tournament. If you're over 35, do not look up the players you don't know on Wikipedia because you'll feel like you have one foot in the grave.

Catch @alexwinter.com 's cult classic at the drive-in! @mahoningdit.bsky.social has such good programming and I want so badly to get out there one of these days.

Oh, it's going to be another one of Those Games this week, huh?

Job hunting sucks, I'm broke, and working more hours at my current job than I regularly do in a week is seriously damaging to my mental health. What a fun time to be alive.
