Yes, I promptly remembered 10 other books I freaking loved the moment I hit publish. Just a snapshot in time or what I thought this morning before my walk.

‘People call these things imperfections, but they’re not. They’re the good stuff.’
ROBIN WILLIAMS improvised much of this scene so when MATT DAMON laughs, it’s genuinely the first time he’s heard the lines.
GOOD WILL HUNTING - released 25 years ago today.

This. Like indie is thriving, but the things that work in indie are things trad refused to adjust to. They'd rather let the trad side of the genre die than adapt. Or at least that's what it feels like as a general whole.

I have this really deep sinking feeling in my stomach that the whole publishing industry is trying to get rid of romance. This is the second huge list we’ve lost, mmpb are being edged out, and the current reigning person in romance writes womens fiction and domestic thrillers.

The phrase “knocked up,” referring to pregnancy, originated with U.S. slavery. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the expression back to 1813.
Back then the price of enslaved African women was “knocked up” by the auctioneer when she was pregnant—promoted as a deal for buyers.

Happy 120th birthday to Margaret Hamilton.
She once went on Mister Rogers to let kids that were scared of the Wicked Witch know, it’s just pretend.

so this place hasn't died yet, but interestingly, I took it out of a priority place in my brain, and I think it's better for me. I'm writing and reading more than ever.

She is safe.
She is on a plane.

#Andor : how a Star Wars deep cut became one of the best TV shows of the year theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2
The music in the final episode becoming part of the plot.. brilliant
Quote Tweet
Just watched the #Andor finale. What a phenomenal season of television. Every episode mattered. As the credits rolled, I sat back and just took the story in again with Nicholas Britell’s music. Tony Gilroy and his team crafted a modern Star Wars masterpiece with this show.

If inflation comes up at the dinner table tonight, don’t forget to draw attention to the deeper structural driver of inflation: the concentration of the American economy in the hands of a few corporate giants with the power to raise prices, even as they rake in record profits.

The Colorado shooter’s dad on finding out his son murdered people: “They started telling me about the incident, a shooting... And then I go on to find out it’s a gay bar. I got scared, ‘Shit, is he gay?’ And he’s not gay, so I said, phew… I am a conservative Republican.” (@CBS8)

English is a stress timed language, which means we emphasize important words and rush through unimportant words. So, when speaking the following sentences take almost exactly the same amount of time to say.
Dogs chase cats.
The dogs chase cats.
The dogs are chasing the cats

I remember watching an interview with a Jewish woman describing the morning after Kristallnacht, where she said all her neighbors looked guilty and sorry, and she thought "if everyone is sorry, who broke the windows?"

Someone has to say it: Elon Musk has lied for 27 years about his credentials. He does not have a BS in Physics, or any technical field. Did not get into a PhD program. Dropped out in 1995 & was illegal. Later, investors quietly arranged a diploma - but not in science. 🧵1/

If an author calls for aid, does Romancelandia Twitter still answer? I fucked up yesterday and Amazon cancelled all of my preorders for a book that was coming out next week. They let me make a new preorder for 11/29, but I don't have a way of getting the orders back.

And no, I’m not going to shift everything to fucking TikTok.
I’m OLD. I like an internet where I don’t have to be camera-ready, theater skills on point, editing suite on call, & god help my comments if I’m not fully made-up, skinny, & 20, to shitpost.
