@zbogus77 Sometimes I'll read about infighting among different sects in political or religious movements and I always think it's ridiculous. "Why are you fighting, you agree about practically everything?!"

Then I see a post like this and begin to understand.

@sweetseaslug I read Weir’s first book, The Martian, because I wanted to see the movie and I ended up hating it so much that I’ve refused to see the film to this day and vowed to never again give Weir my attention. Glad to see nothing’s changed in 11 years.

@zbogus77 In this house Ferro Maljinn is a hero.

@WireRacing This proved difficult to google. Seems to have been translated by Kenneth Jackson and is in his 1951 book A CELTIC MISCELLANY as "172. The Elders of the End of the World", pgs 206–7 of the 1971 Penguin Books ed.

@BigMeanInternet Where can I read about this?

[Brendan Hodges @metaplexmovies]

is this a safe space to say while I love Guillermo del Toro as a person and find his enthusiasm for film infectious, his stuff often has a cartoonish studio-set artifice that I just do not vibe with. I enjoy many of his movies, but I just cannot connect to them on a deeper level

I hate how criticising astrology is perceived as anti-woman somehow because this shit is unbearable. You have reinvented phrenology. You crave spiritual fascism

@PinstripeBungle You've got to read Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. An overarching thread of it is that magic is leaving the world, nothing is as cool as it used to be. The great works of the past all lie in ruins.

What's replacing magic? 19th-century style industrial capitalism.

whispering to Robert Eggers: this is because you put the call of a North American bird in a scene set in Germany. You idiot. You’re a fucking idiot

@thamosdeaf Huh, I remember seeing a trailer for this and thinking it looked good but then I never heard about it again until now.

Europa? No, never been, stranger. You must have me confused with someone else. But if I had? If I had felt my skin freeze to my thermsuit? Faced down zealots in the icefields? And survived? Why, that'd make me an awfully dangerous man, now wouldn't it? Think on that, stranger.

I’m trying to explain BadEmpanada to my roommate does anyone have screenshots of some of his old heaters on Twitter

Here’s a thread of things I’ve collected on the ChatGPT apocalypse. The best of this writing is on little-known s*bst*cks, so hope ppl find this useful.

Alan Noble: “A risk of AI is an illiterate and convictionless society which no longer processes our own values or emotions.”

[Rolo Tony @PoorOldRoloTony]

Hot take: audiences literally don’t know what they want until it’s in front of them. Audiences are conditioned into expecting slop when that’s all the market is offering. The tweet op is sharing is a symptom of a stagnant, dying market.

[jennie’s wife @jentayIor]

im aware that men dont read vs publishers dont make books for men is a bit of a chicken or the egg problem but i do think its significant to note that women have always been open to reading “boy books” but the inverse is not true

[jennie’s wife @jentayIor]

also i would never advocate for anyone to read acotar omg never accuse me of that…. i hate the implication that all books by women are fairy smut i am a judgey pretentious reader first and foremost
