DT raises an interesting topic that the Author Community usually gets wrong: Fellow authors aren't future readers, they're colleagues. We benefit each other by learning and growing each other's reach, not by selling to each other Salesmen sell to customers, not other salesmen
DT-Brennan@brennan_dt

@jmgwritten True, don't want to alienate future readers, after all. Especially when there's no real reward for doing it. If only that made people realize the whole discussion was fruitless.

I feel this in my soul. I am a teen librarian. I know some of colleagues dismiss me as a weeb, and I get some odd looks as literally the only male teen librarian in the system. I put a lot of effort into getting books teen boys will like. (I want books for teen girls also, but that is easy.) We are approaching the point where 25% of my teen book collection is from Japan. Why? Because there are more books the boys will like, they’re *fun,* and because they’re popular.

Growing up includes realizing that the popular jocky frat bros are usually popular because they’re cool and fun to hang out with and that nerds are often not diamonds in the rough and are rather unpleasant and off putting in character as well as appearance.
𝔐𝔽𝓩@mean_field_zane

One thing I have noticed here is that the frat brothers are often more interested in and open to learning ideas about the world than the artsy leftist humanities slackers.

@cirsova Last couple runs I've been getting bad shops and bad summers. Whistles? What are those? No kale in three runs. I haven't even seen books until the first summer in one. Even had one with no speed drums. But Fukuitaru's been stuck on all 7s every run this week...

@cirsova I love it when my umas win the hardest G1 races on the schedule, then finish 6th in some random G3. Like WTF is this?! I think you should be allowed to rerun ANY race you didn't win, for that reason.

@RaltsAuthor "The Air Force would object to breathing if the Navy got appropriations for lungs." Well, it did get us the F-15 and F-16...

Holy shit, pegged the Air Force in one fucking sentence.

NIXON: Bob, they’re telling me we need the E-7 Wedgetail. Big airplane. Radar on top. Looks like a 737 with a canoe strapped to it. HALDEMAN: That’s the general configuration, Mr. President. NIXON: Don’t get technical with me. HALDEMAN: I’ll try not to, sir. NIXON: And then the eggheads from Chantilly come in. Charts, folders, little arrows going around the planet. Space-based AMTI, they say. Persistent tracking, they say. Global coverage. Bob, any time a man says “global coverage,” he’s either selling you satellites or shaving cream. HALDEMAN: Which eggheads from Chantilly, sir? NIXON: What do you mean, which eggheads? HALDEMAN: NRO or SDA? NIXON: That’s exactly what I mean. Too many outfits. Too many letters. We used to have departments. Now we have alphabet soup with clearances. HALDEMAN: The NRO people would be the quiet ones. The SDA types would be the ones saying “proliferated architecture.” NIXON: Proliferated architecture. Sounds like a disease you get from a federal building. HALDEMAN: It’s contagious in budget hearings. NIXON: I don’t like it. I don’t like any of it. First they put cameras in space. Then radars. Then they tell me the airplane is obsolete. Then some damned Colonel with a slide rule says we need a Space Force. HALDEMAN: That term may test poorly. NIXON: Test poorly? Bob, it sounds like a toy line. Space Force. They could make a television show to sell the toys; the boys at Mattel would make an absolute killing. HALDEMAN: The Air Force would object to that characterization. NIXON: The Air Force would object to breathing if the Navy got appropriations for lungs. HALDEMAN: That’s probably true. NIXON: They’re out to get me, Bob. HALDEMAN: The Air Force? NIXON: The whole blue-suiter crowd. The bomber crowd, the missile crowd, the fellows who sit around drawing arrows over Poland. They want a new branch, new uniforms, new generals. And once they get space, they’ll look down at the White House and say, “There he is.” HALDEMAN: From Earth orbit, sir, the White House is a fairly small target. NIXON: Don’t reassure me with geometry.

Season 1 of The Boys was surprisingly good. As soon as the producers realized right wingers were enjoying their show they went out of their way to destroy it. What are some other examples of film makers sabotaging their work to own the chuds?

If you're a creator, just don't respond to negative reviews. The review may be wrong and dumb, but you will never do yourself any favors by responding. You will only give it more visibility and risk making yourself look like an ass. There is nothing for you to gain!

This review knocked us out of Overwhelmingly Positive but I don't care because I'll die on this hill no matter how much time passes. Side note: They didn't get all the achievements

Someone on youtube said "these people don't love music, they love what they think their list says about themselves." That's a flawless description of New York Times music critics.

@GreenTextRepost A couple of years ago I started to experience what I would call "live service fatigue" and shifted to almost exclusively playing single player games Sisyphus pushing a rock up a hill was supposed to be divine punishment, not something you bought a battlepass for

“Are we getting oil from Iran” “No” “Then why are California oil prices so high!” Well Joe… California IS getting oil from Iraq. Which gets sent to South Korea to be refined. Then the gasoline and diesel goes to Cali. BECAUSE NEWSOM’S DEMS CLOSED OIL REFINERIES And there is shortage of oil tankers to deliver it. Supply and demand tells us when there’s a shortage of ships delivery prices skyrocket. Frankly I’m shocked Newsom has been able to hold prices under $10 a gallon. x.com/RedWavePress/s…

@cirsova "Why aren't you doing things like we used to in the 1990s?" Because Kickstarter exists, Patreon exists, social media exists, Kindle exists, Royal Road exists... ...and the people who are reading aren't the people going to SFF cons.

Cirsova - Dream Lords Legacy Live on Kickstarter
We actually tried this with the 1st issue because we could print copies up for $2 a pop and sell them at a tidy profit for $5 or so at cons, but I was stuck with a ton of copies that didn't sell, so curtailed front-end orders for cons. After COVID, I gave up on the con scene.
