I'm a loner, Dottie. A rebel.

100+ Guest Stars in Tales From the Crypt!
Tales From the Crypt premiered on this day in 1989. Hollywood legends, rock icons, a Terminator or two, Oscar winners, past and future James Bonds, and even a couple of adult stars all signed up for a twisted date with the Crypt Keeper.

@rkylesmith I dropped out after a year; one of the better decisions I made in life.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

Blanchett is a singular artist and TÁR was the best non-spectacle drama I've seen in at least 5 years. The rest has mostly been a sea of doldrum.

[Best Movie Moments 🍿 @BestMovieMom]

Cate Blanchett losing Best Actress for TÁR (2022) to Michelle Yeoh is the kind of Oscar decision that ages worse every year. The performance is on the level of Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood (2007), and the Academy already knows it.

Ditto.

@GigiLevangie Congrats! What pride!

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@jpodhoretz @SethAMandel is a... birder!

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@MegKeene @ElliotKaufman6, nota bene.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@MegKeene Ah.. I think you need to follow me back to get DMs.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@MegKeene I think your DMs are closed.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@MegKeene Ran some numbers, with deeper market research, came up with something interesting that confirmed my prior hunches.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@MegKeene This shouldn't be a far stretch for @JewishBook and its patrons. Either way, the upfront investment for an imprint, one with a solid business case and a dozen titles to start, should be nominal. I have some ideas, might talk to some people.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@BarneysRubble0 Touché. Looking at this picture on my phone while walking the Gawanus does make the Gawanus more bearable.

@Perez_Writes Down at the Dinghy hit this Jewish kid hard when I first read it.

I have no interest in connecting to the "younger generation."

[Titus Techera @titusfilm]

Boomers are dying.
Old men have, for the most part, no connection to the younger generation, even with those entering middle age.
Incalculable consequences must follow. Better to see things as they are.
All told, the taste of the dad books was for successful mediocrity, either through perseverance or accumulative gains, both fantastic criteria that somehow fit the boomer generation's experience of longevity & prosperity, but also had some connection to the past of hard work or self-denial, even in an increasingly hedonistic age. Goodby to all that-

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@GigiLevangie We're leaving here too.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

I, too, am aging with dignity. #openlygray.

[Justine Bateman @JustineBateman]

I think it's helpful to be remined of how life works. You will not have any of your opportunities or gifts taken from you just because your face is looking older now. When you remember this, it makes the concern about ones changing face dissipate. Sure your face is looking different, but your life/fate/track doesn't care what age you are, nor your weight, your color, your height, your gender, or the state of your face. Your gifts and talents remain, and the opportunities that are just for you will still keep coming. The only person that can push you off your own track is you.

The AIdacity of Hope.

[Alex Perez @Perez_Writes]

If this continues, in two years all that’ll be left is AI writing, romantasy, and 38,000 flash fiction journals.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

@erikadreifus More can be said about this problem, which has less to do with AI than years of soft-skulled solicitude toward every possible cause except the cause of literature.

[Steven Volynets 📚 @StevenVolynets]

I ask again, albeit rhetorically, this time re #GrantaAIGate: if writing fiction doesn't give you joy, why do it in the first place? It's not like there is real money in it. And if it does, why cede the pleasure to AI?
