Historian, game designer, and sci-fi/fantasy author originally from Ohio. I tweet about writing, history, foxes, being disabled, and cool books I like!

Where some saw limitation, Wolfgang Stange saw potential. Where others saw a medical condition, he saw a new form of expression.

To him, the key to performance was honesty: presentation of the authentic self.

Everyone could be honest, so all had something to give.

The "people who didn't do their jobs", sir, are out there trying to save your CEO's hide right now.

Meanwhile, Oceangate ignored regulations, fired the guy who went "this isn't safe" and decided to launch the expedition anyway.

I'm sorry David, WHO isn't doing their job again?

Somebody simply has to write the ultimate catch-all essay on disruptive, libertarian, private-sector-touting entrepreneurs simply begging and demanding for state intervention at the end of their journeys. (This is the Titan sub company's adviser.)

@emilylorange I feel a sudden urge to work harder on my refs lol

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@emilylorange @explodikid Or bloggers and hobby sites just outright stealing tutorials and pretending they created them to make money off them, leaving the original creators to lock things behind patreon in self-defense, because as it turns out, artists actually require food and shelter.

As the subreddit blackout begins, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Reddit community and everyone standing up ❤️ Let's hope Reddit listens https://t.co/h6cSYTBZhH

Also, once you've treated your existing mods so poorly, the only people still wanting to be mods are going to be raging narcissists and those with an agenda, not mods that want to make the place better.

If this is where reddit goes, as a user, I'd rather see it die. #Reddit

Howling because as a continued approach to the Reddit blackout protest, r/Pics is now a Sexy John Oliver Pics subreddit

@UntoNuggan I'll add that after trip #3 to the ER in a month where I specifically begged them to look at it, they removed it (and it was worse than the scans showed).

The pain is completely gone now. 6 years I lived with that and no one could tell me what was wrong. I saw like 8 doctors.

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@UntoNuggan I had excruciating back/shoulder pain for 6 years, the kind where I'd lay on the floor sobbing. Specialists shrugged. The ER prescribed pain meds. My GP suggested yoga and PT.

My PT last week went "it's your gallbladder those were my symptoms". I googled that so fast and bingo.

@scarlettralgee this is genius but also I'm just laughing hysterically at the poor squirrels getting yeeted off into the sun from their own momentum.

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@DailyMailUK When I work remote I have an additional 2 hours in my day to hit the gym from not commuting and I can cook fresh hot food instead of having to grab fast food because I had no time to pack lunch. I also save $120 a week in gas, over 6k a year. Try again with these scare tactics.

@FormerlyIr @scarlettralgee hey yeah this is a thing I think a lot of people might wanna consider. I am not here to train AI to replace me, kthx.

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@emilylorange Yeah I was literally like wait wait but Sim City Societies DID this already

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@AustinLJacques @spaceandtimemag @HorrorWriters An independently owned magazine that is now a mouthpiece for venture capitalist techbros who want to promote AI writing.

God, it's almost like we JUST DID THIS with artists and NFTs and look how that turned out.

The official statement came out and uh. https://t.co/LQAQvzc2W7

[Beth Renard ベス・レナード @Ink_Foxes]

@spaceandtimemag has an official statement:

"...As the owner I have the right to explore new ideas..."

Maybe this experiment could have been conducted independently of the magazine, which is already struggling fiscally without driving off readers and shrinking its talent pool?

"I didn't think so many people would care."

I... what? How on earth did you come to that erroneous conclusion?

"The majority of the response has been interested in finding out more."

I think we exist on different versions of twitter.

@jasonsanford This mirrors the life cycle of trying to get artists onboard with NFTs so closely It's downright disturbing. Guess what? Being a spokesperson for techbros that only care about the money to be made is going to end equally poorly. This is not the hill I'd want to die defending.
