I made Time's newsfeed for #NaNoWriMo! Ack!!! Happiness! Limited success! Hoorah! newsfeed.time.com/2013/11/11/19-…

Facts are stubborn things. Since the beginning of this year, the Russian army has carried out attacks against Ukraine using nearly 27,700 aerial bombs, almost 11,200 Shahed drones, around 9,000 other types of attack UAVs, and more than 700 missiles, including ballistic ones. And that’s in less than half a year. This is the pace of Russian strikes, and they deliberately set this tempo from the very first days of the full-scale war. Russia has restructured its entire state, society, and economy to be able to kill people in other countries on a massive scale and with impunity. Many have spoken with Russia at various levels. But none of these talks have brought a reliable peace, or even stopped the war. Unfortunately, Putin feels impunity. Even after all of Russia’s horrific attacks, he is reportedly preparing yet more so-called “responses.” It means, that with every new strike, with every delay of diplomacy, Russia is giving the finger to the entire world — to all those who still hesitate to increase pressure on it. Yet, it is Russia that should be seeking peace. It is in Moscow that they must begin to feel that war carries a cost, a high cost, and the highest one should be paid by the aggressor. If the world reacts weakly to Putin’s threats, he interprets it as a readiness to turn a blind eye to his actions. When he does not feel strength and pressure, but instead senses weakness, he always commits new crimes. He sees such an attitude as silent permission: permission for new atrocities, new strikes, new killings. That is why we in Ukraine are so grateful to everyone in the world who is trying to stop this war and stop Russia’s attacks. To everyone who tells the killer that he will be held accountable. To everyone who says Russian missiles and bombs must stop taking innocent lives. Russia must bring back peace. And today, on the Day of Remembrance of Ukrainian Children Killed by Russian Aggression, we remind the powerful of this world of the facts. If the powerful do not stop Putin, it means they share responsibility with him. And if they want to stop him but cannot, then Putin will no longer see them as powerful.

@GaSecofState @GovKemp Despite ideological differences, I’ve supported a lot of your decisions over the years Governor, but as a lifelong educator, this is the wrong move

I commend President Trump’s decision to allocate funds directly to states, ensuring teachers & students receive the support they need. These decisions should be made at the state level, not by DC bureaucrats, & I stand with @GovKemp in this approach. tinyurl.com/msmu9due

Happy new year! I've been writing a weekly substack about narrative nonfiction. Here's a free post about how to make yourself a character in your story in a way that’s hopefully compelling and imaginative, as opposed to egotistical and superfluous. open.substack.com/pub/jonronson/…

I could listen to Cormac McCarthy talking about creativity and the unconscious mind for weeks

@RexChapman Hi Rex! Idk how I started following you, and I really enjoy your commentary, but I have no idea what a block or a charge is. Can you please explain? Thanks for the good posts! (Which will be even better once I get this lol)

If you have a very small movie w/no PR budget to speak of, you gotta try to get that screener in the hands of critics 2 to 3 months before release. That’s how long it sometimes takes to get an outlet to say yes to covering a true indie. There are layers of BS to wade through.

“One of the best inadvertent advertisements for the idea that you can create entire worlds on the cheap if you have a strong vision and turn what are usually thought of as liabilities into strengths.” **** for @beaversfilm rogerebert.com/reviews/hundre…

@megfides @Ike4CO I came to say the same thing! I thought this was an ad FOR her rather than against

@TrendKillemAll @DavidSpade @bobbymiyamoto Oh man, I’m so sorry I missed it. When was it? I also missed seeing @DavidSpade when he played Tulane in ‘96/‘97

@DavidSpade @bobbymiyamoto Such a great show in New Orleans. If you’re on the fence, BUY THE TICKETS.

Movies should have a shape. A silhouette. They should not just be a collection of things that happen, or a bunch of information that sells investment in a “franchise.” Even if they are not self-contained works, they should feel like they are. Otherwise, it’s television.

just a microcosm of the extractive ai training dynamic. ‘we are building a thing that will bring us fame and fortune and maybe change the world (do you want that? well, it’s not up to you) and here’s the catch: it’s trained off your human output. you have two options. partner with us and take a paltry cut or we will just go ahead and do it anyhow’

@svershbow I can’t get enough! The seasons feel way too short for me though

Does a single other human watch (and love) this show besides me?

Behold, @ManhattanDA's chart to help jurors understand the 34 felony counts against Donald Trump & how they link up to the evidence. Each "Count" # corresponds to the same Exhibit # ... which means you can use @Law360's digital docket to look them up. law360.com/newyork-vs-tru…

Truly revolting how AI is allowed to corrupt journalism, courtesy of owners looking to squeeze more blood from the stone. incredible reporting here on the use of tech to create fake writers with fake bylines & head shots. futurism.com/advon-ai-conte…

Just finished watching this. It hit hard.
