Huh. There’s a purple Taco Bell stretch limo driving around Vancouver today.

In a university ecosystem that breeds hunger for status, Epstein made scholars feel like celebrities

Saw this on IG yesterday...the OOF is mine.

It's time to hand out some thanks to some people. In no particular order, Ill be shouting out this year's #BookstoreRomanceDay sponsors. First up is @chuckwendig.bsky.social . An unlikely sponsor, to be sure, but always expect the unexpected with Chuck.

Okay, new reason you have to buy my books. A desi pizza place opened in my neighborhood and you need to subsidize the weekly achaari chicken pizza habit I’m about to develop.

At first I thought the US women’s hockey coach looked like a movie villain. But I thought nay nay.

The concern isn’t that AI will be able to create good movies. The concern is that AI will create bad movies and Hollywood executives won’t care. That they’ll use it to pay creative people less while adding the work of fixing AI’s mistakes.

Start weaning yourself off of the Amazon ecosystem, especially for books. Kobo's always there. Bookshop even offers e-books now. More importantly, many authors offer e-book sales through their websites as more & more distribution platforms place content restrictions on what they allow you to sell.

So Bree hinted at this story a few days ago, but I want to circle back now that I have permission to share it. WHISTLES OUT: A WHISTLE CREW MYSTERY

I need to change the prices on all of my books

Saw someone refer to men’s doubles luge as Seated Rivalry and we need to just make a place for that in our hearts.

Overheard at a bar: “Saying you’re “the autistic” in our group is like saying I am Spartacus.”

Evergreen.

This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Due to the current timeline the year of the Fire Horse has been downgraded to Smoldering Jackass

apparently people think anyone who uses big words in presentations now is using AI to write them. Sorry I was in the G&T to adult ADHD diagnosis pipeline and all I did as a kid was read.

"Al is here to stay" well ok, but me complaining about Al is also here to stay

“Is there a technology the left is excited about?” Vaccines. 😒

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Also, if you've never read any of my demigod series, the novella set in the New Orleans area is FREE right now. In How a Demigod Gets Lucky, a gambler who can't lose is pitted against a cooler (a person with a supernatural ability to squash players' luck.) #Ad #booksky www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3B3ZHSK

Since this is the year of the fire horse I'm thinking it's a good time to re-read The Black Stallion & Flame, which I remember being one of my favorites.

It's not my pick, but surprised I haven't run into The Saga Begins in the comments yet since it was superior to the movies, which are part of a benchmark of our culture (as Al is a benchmark of our culture).

I was sent a really beaten up copy of this. I remade it. I would definitely watch this show.

The only thing powerful enough to stop me... is tired me. 😅

My I'LL SHOW YOU is running up against my goddamn i'm so tired...

Some guy: Hey, writers, wouldn't it be great to turn your novel into a movie using AI? Every writer I know: Absolutely the fuck not. I love you guys. ❤️

This is the only correct response.

Saaaaaaaaame.

Hi! I write historical (and some contemporary) romances. Here's a list of my books by series in reading order. www.courtneymilan.co... #HistoricalRomance #Romance #Romancelandia #HEA #RomanceAuthor

Sure, the auto makers could buy up mass transit options to shut them down and set everything back decades in the early 20th century, but Disney is going to sign with OpenAI instead of buy them and flush them? So unfortunate...

My parents' taste in music in the 1970s. My eldest brother was into heavy metal (and a guitarist) while my middle brother was into progressive rock (and a bass guitarist). I was the odd man out on musical taste with my Urban Chipmunk album.

True Lies (1994), as a second chance romance, is a great Valentine's Day movie. Fight me.

One of the options from the restaurant we are ordering from tomorrow is "side of catfish." That's like a "are you from Mississippi?" test. I only lived there for 10 years and yet I MUST have it.

Oh, excited about those nightmare scenarios. Can't wait for someone to accidentally record and send out notes for a confidential HR meeting. /s

Neighbor has a heck of a fire going on down there.

In a (vain, probably) attempt to combat the flood of romance-illiterate Valentine's Day thinkpieces, I wrote two of my own this year - one with @profromance.bsky.social about romance adaptations...

Didn't feel like watching the winter Olympics, so watching The Cutting Edge (1992) instead.

Spotted on Reddit: "Being the third fastest Olympian ever and ending up in the same race as the two others that were faster is peak Canadian Olympic luck."
