fwiw, just do the whole show but don’t allow for acceptance speeches. ppl pick up their #Oscars , wave to the crowd, and exit, stage left. that’ll cut the show down to a manageable time
looks like @GrubWriters dropped a note about their role in the #badartfriend saga. on a friday when they knew no one would see it. classy https://t.co/MuqtK1Nbm8
@moorehn pretty sure these letters to the boston book festival came from grub street trying to protect their own. deleon teaches there and also pretty sure the rot goes all the way up the vine.
@ljschneider@onthemedia few also wonder why kolker made a thorny legal issue — the line between plagiarism and real-life inspiration and what makes a work of art transformative — nothing more than a cat fight, told in such a way that he could stand back and watch it go viral
so hard listening to @onthemedia segment on the #badartfriend with bad facts repeated and analysis by a guest who doesn’t fully grasp the legal aspects. had to give up half way thru, which makes me sad. always thought of otm as a beacon of getting things right
@RottenInDenmark you sure about those lawyers fees? we’re talking writers here, you think either of them have that kind of money? your analysis seemed so factually solid up to that point
@ebruenig the problem with writing a story about another story is that if the facts are wrong you end up magnifying them. larson sued dorland first. it says so in the story.
@pattigibbons @Boston1775 how many refused to get vaccinated? had a veteran cop hand in his badge in resignation when our town insisted the dept be 100% vaxxed. other wear masks improperly, if at all. numbers mean little without full context.
