God this is so fucking cool

THIS is the kind of cyberpunk future bullshit I actually want

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

I'd love to read it, if you're still looking for beta readers! :)

“I have no great opinion of [JK Rowling’s writing style]. When so many adult critics were carrying on about the “incredible originality” of the first Harry Potter book, I read it to find out what the fuss was about, and remained somewhat puzzled; it seemed a lively kid’s fantasy crossed with a ‘school novel’, good fare for its age group, but stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited.”

It’s a good day to revisit this Ursula Le Guin quote. In the best possible reality, Earthsea would be the dominant fantasy series for children.

Hit you back with a wonderful UKLG quote I saw for the first time today

I'd love to added to this list if there's still room :) And thanks for making it!!

No funnier film-illiterate take than accusing someone of “stealing” from Tarantino.

Joseph Campbell to Maureen Murdock, one of his students, in 1983 about women heroes:

“Women don’t need to make the journey. In the whole mythological journey, the woman is there. All she has to do is realize that she’s the place that people are trying to get to…”

Part 2 of this quote is worse:

OH HELL YES!!! I can't wait!!

Now, I know what you're thinking: "CPSC, why does this look like the room where the bad guy from SAW makes his podcast." The thing you need to understand is that we're not like other agencies. We don't "have things" or "go to the store." We make our own way. We get what we get and we don't get upset

I feel like we need to be asking the question: "God, doesn't this suck?" about these desperate attempts to make AI-gen goddamn -anything- more often.

Well deserved!! I played this over the weekend and LOVED IT!

In English, adjectives seem to follow a specific order:

opinion - size - age - shape - color - origin - material - purpose - noun

We’re steeped in the pattern from birth, and apply it effortlessly.

It's alive!

I've got a lot I want to say about the creation of this thing, which wriggled and writhed and was desperate to get itself made.

But for now, I'm just going to breathe a little.

Hey ding-dongs, let’s have a chit-chat about 'Ablaut reduplication.'

If you have three words, the order usually goes 'I-A-O.'
-tic-tac-toe

If there are only two words, ‘I’ is the first and the second is either ‘A’ or ‘O.’
-click-clack
-King-Kong

Mamdani: I am in support of abolishing ICE… I'm tired of waking up every day and seeing a new image of someone being dragged out of a car, dragged out of their home, dragged out of their life.

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously
