How do you guys pronounce Llewellyn?

I get my news from a reliable source.

The plural form of poltergeist is poltergeister!

“Hey, who’s the new girl?”

We're at that point in the zeitgeist when one double thinks whether typos are intentional or intended.

Bridgerton s4,E4: Everyone drinks tea.

A mathematical difference and a relative difference are different differences.

Bridgerton s4,E3: Benedict swims in a dirty lake.

Bridgerton s4,E2: Benedict's photographic memory.

Bridgerton s4,E1: A Cinderella story.

-Frank Miller -David Mazzuccheli -Ben Affleck Two writer/artists and an actor who did Daredevil followed by Batman.

Very annoying NPC. #hollowknight

Hans Zimmer is cool, but my 🐐 is Michael Giacchino.

What's up with Airforce 1?

If you don't know if Schrödinger had a cat or not, then he did and also did not, until you go look it up, at which point the superposition collapses.

First husband: Died from eating poisonous mushrooms. Second husband: Died from eating poisonous mushrooms. Third husband: Died from eating poisonous mushrooms. Fourth husband: Died from gunshot. Wouldn't eat the mushrooms.

It's criminal that Kingdom's Edge has no stag station. #hollowknight

Weird how no one says they're “just following orders” if they think what they're doing is morally good

Boredom is a luxury in these times.

Injured, as an anagram indicator, is quite the stretch.

One thing I learnt reading Tade Thompson's fiction is how much agency the women have. They are super proactive and carry the plot so integrally. They even make the first move many times in the cases of love interests. His fiction is a good blueprint for this.

The unnecessary need of cinephiles to defend Avatar against The Last Airbender universe. Both are great. Maybe the problem are the fandoms.

Victimhood is an epidemic of the modern world. Humans would rather identify with their pain for the rest of their lives, rather than heal from it. Inequality and marginalisation is now a badge of honor for sufferers, a signal of virtue.

Here's an initiative by investment experts who sought to educate on certain financial concepts by contracting writers to make a collection of stories on them. Reading fiction is not a waste of time.

RIP to films sharing theatrical windows with #AvengersDoomsday

Reading a paperback is an effective way to touch grass.

I was returning home when a woman I had never met (who I suppose is in her early twenties) waved to me. I was taken aback but managed an imperceptible nod. Standing in front of me, she said, "I want to talk to you." I said I was on my way to somewhere, and walked past.

They think freedom of speech makes anything the right thing to say. And that calling out is an impeachment of expression.

Apparently, no one knows what nepo baby means.

You live in a country where poverty is mostly systemic, but yet folks are shamed as though it is an individual failing.

It would be nice to have an anthology of animated shorts like love, death & robots or secret level that centers around afro and african futurism, such that many of our speculative fiction would breathe in another medium.

My God, what a read!

In a just and good world? *vampires kick the X-Men's asses* Jubilee: Oh noes! Wolverine: It's fine. I know a guy. *one phone call* *Mahershala Ali somersaults in kicking ass to cool music* And thus, he would be properly introduced to the MCU.

An RPG specifically designed for speed runners where if you get to certain locations ahead of expected arrival times they're still building the set and some of the NPCs are on break

“I knew I should’ve taken that left turn at Albuquerque.”

I really detest the wolverine-cyclops-jean grey love triangle.

Professor X: The question isn't, "Are you prepared to die?" The question is, "Who will you be when you close your eyes?" Cyclops: Let me show you who I am when I open them. youtu.be/kH1XlwHQv9o?...

Jessie Buckley, Amanda Seyfried and Cynthia Erivo were my highlights of HR's actors' roundtable. Jessie's mention of dream journaling and how she gets out of an emotionally tasking scene; Cynthia's well thought out questions and Amanda's interesting contribution.

I like those emo, battle-worn, Ryan Gosling memes.

Folks, this year will see from me: -1 new novel. -1 new edition of an old novel in a shiny new format + new art -1 novella -1 short story in an anthology There's another new novel that's finished, but we haven't reached an agreement on the contract yet. Plus the usual kids and karate posts.

Heres a thing I keep coming back to: legality is a collective illusion. Laws only become real if/when a group of people a)agrees to follow them and b)exercises the power to hold others accountable. Without (b), then to quote my novel SHIGIDI, "the highest and final law will always be power."

F) For the love of all that is good and holy stop wondering if your idea is any good! That way lies madness. Your idea, whatever it is, will live or die by its execution. Commit to your idea. Eat and drink your idea. Play with it, have fun with it.

This set of observations is produced by my scrolling Reddit and otherwise listening to people talk about "how to write." A) there is no requirement that any of your characters has any sort of "arc" let alone a redemption. B) there is also no requirement that your fiction has a plot.

The sky is so blue here. —Joseph Abiola 26th June, 2024. (First post he made on Bluesky)

him: license and registration, please me: *slides him fish* him: ... me: *slides him another fish* him: have a good day, sir

An annoying thing if you're a fisherman is catching a fish that's too small. An annoying thing if you're a fish is getting a hook stuck in your mouth.

I do not condemn or look down on low-income jobs because: a. It's still honest work (if it is). b. It is of service to me and I may, in fact, be a patron. c. The world relies on the services rendered by those jobs.
