I'm a writer, afflicted by metacognition and vice, seeking grace and virtue.

@HwoodScrptReadr Really? In my opinion, they're UNDERrated.

And you can pry my em dash from my cold, dead hands, bitch. I will never stop using it. You're all telling on yourselves when you say you've never encountered it prior to AI. It's all over the place.

[Emerson Green @waldenpod]

You have no idea how much I resent AI for completely ruining a perfectly good sentence structure: "It's not just x – it's y." You cannot write that anymore. Everyone will assume it's AI or get derailed wondering if it's AI. We've been robbed of an entire sentence form.

@donswriting Humans are subjects, so, yes, it is. And that's okay.

@LukeBarnett Hey Luke, I sent you a DM about a potential role in an indie project. Would love to work with you!

@catholiccom This rhetorical trick is neither deductively nor inductively valid. In ordinary use, “personhood” is treated as a binary categorical variable, not a scalar one you can extrapolate from 0 to 1 to 2. You don’t ask, “How many persons is this tree?” It’s either a person or it isn’t.

@Avianveil @TharriesYT The '78 film covers the first two LOTR books and is 133 minutes; the first two PJ films are 357 minutes—almost 270% longer.

The first HP film is 152 minutes; the show will be ~480 minutes—315%+ longer.

Hopefully the show benefits from a longer runtime the way PJ's trilogy did.

@artwithinpod Houston, did you see this?

The new Pope, Pope Leo XIV, watched the ‘CONCLAVE’ movie right before the actual conclave.

“I said ‘Did you watch the movie ‘Conclave’ so you know how to behave? And he had just finished watching the movie,” says the Pope’s brother.

First, he breaks the law, now he’s stealing Pokémon cards! What’s next? I’ve been saying it for YEARS! Spider-Man isn’t some hero—he’s a masked menace! And now, he’s not just swinging around terrorizing hardworking New Yorkers—he’s out there looting stores for trading cards?!!?!?

Flow was made entirely with Blender and rendered in real time with EEVEE. We didn't use a renderfarm. The final render was done on my PC. There was no compositing, all the colors were tweaked and adjusted using shaders.

@ApostateProphet I say it’s an absurd punishment even for those who knowingly choose evil. Such a choice, especially given the consequences, is patently irrational; anyone who makes that choice and is unable to see their error is definitionally insane and needs therapy and medication—not torture.

@DavidWilberBlog @DanielL86751946 If Jesus simply pulls rank at the end, what was the point of everything else?

That said, idk what to make of "The Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath." Is it son of man as in mankind, or is he speaking about being the unique Son of Man as he does throughout the rest of the Gospel?

[Anthony Nelson @amvnelson]

@DavidWilberBlog Stealing from @DanielL86751946 here, but I think Jesus is saying "The High Priest let David break Temple laws to alleviate hunger, and the Torah lets priests break the Sabbath for the Temple; if alleviating hunger > Temple > Sabbath, then alleviating hunger > Sabbath laws."

[Anthony Nelson @amvnelson]

@jewshido @1armsteve @AutismCapital You’re absolutely right: dying for a belief doesn’t prove it’s true—only that it’s truly believed. This point about the disciples’ martyrdom isn’t to prove Jesus rose, just that the disciples themselves weren’t lying/making stuff up. They certainly could have been wrong.

[Anthony Nelson @amvnelson]

@LaSquadraStan @TorbjornNaslund @forcedmasc Sorry, I should have clarified. As others said, this is just the movie's premise, established in the first fifteen minutes or so, and established in the trailer. The movie is about the moral dilemma the juror faces. I promise there are plenty of surprises you can look forward to.

[Anthony Nelson @amvnelson]

@TorbjornNaslund @forcedmasc This is basically the plot of Clint Eastwood's newest film, Juror #2.

@sympatheticopp This would fall into the "short story you'd read in a class" category, but "A Sound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury is awesome.

[Anthony Nelson @amvnelson]

@nofilmschool I found this article really insightful. Contrasting the “writing with AI” approach to your very human story of talking to a lawyer in a cigar shop and getting inspiration—genius. Great work.

I hope this article’s primary injunction lingers in my mind forever: “Don’t get lazy.”
