"We all understood that we were expected to transcribe the contents of videos in microscopic detail and that we’d be graded on how accurately we time-stamped the words we heard and the other verbal indicators in the video." Eye-opening, brutal story. www.wired.com/story/i-work...

Real life has been especially dreary today so it has been wonderful to indulge in the world of Jane Austen for a few hours. I will always be glad for the power of a good book to transport my mind to somewhere else. #books #booklife

The beginning of a movement. Publishing employees unionize. It has been needed for far too long. Of course all of us in publishing, whether working FOR a publisher or being published by them, are exploited to some degree. #writercommunity #authors www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Huzzah!

These two should get a bus and drive it around the country solving mysteries and stuff.

Ick ick ick. Authors, remember to have a no-AI-use clause in your contracts that applies to the publisher as much as it does you.

And it's not about hockey! Puck is reclaiming their rightful place. #collectiondevelopment bookshop.org/a/4013/97816...

Happy 40th anniversary to Legend of Zelda, the game series that has my whole heart. It is the reason I fell in love with video games, RPGs, and art as a child. It's one of the main reasons I became an artist in adulthood. 🗡️🏰

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

what they've actually done here quite deftly is shine a 3000 watt Fresnel lamp on the central problem for which Pope Francis wanted an American Pope in the first place: namely, that the American right wing believes they are invincible, they are destroying the world, and they have to be stopped

Me too.

Steve and Brad can't remember which one of them was the designated driver (So I'm going to pick them up from the pub).

If you're interested in the topic, this was good. I watched it through the library on Kanopy. The filmmaker talks to many actors, etc, including Lisa Lu, Tsai Chin, James Hong, Nancy Kwan, Wayne Wang...plus Luise Rainer defending her Academy Award-winning yellowface performance in The Good Earth...

The world is stupid, but I just watched a squirrel break into a car in the parking lot below me, steal a package of crackers, and escape to a nearby tree. So at least somebody is winning.
