I won't wade into the marsh in which this conversation is currently going on, but I'm happy to note that the first thing a twenty-first-century publishing entity does on receipt of a manuscript and to prepare it for eventual publication is to yank out every single double space after a period. 🤷🏻♂️

The best advice I ever heard about this was "Maybe the reason the exec is asking for a car chase on page 38 is because the previous 20 pages of character development isn't working. They don't really want a car chase; they're just bored."

I always wondered why France had so many heists but if you can still just put a ladder up to a window on the Louvre in the year 2025 and get away with a big bag full of priceless jewels I guess that solves the mystery

I know something about aircraft pricing, and when you "need" to get updated avionics, safety equipment etc. This is grotesquely wasteful, unnecessary, and self-aggrandizing. No Kings. Also, no cosplay Marie Antoinettes.
