Recently saw an aspiring TV writer tweeting shit about a major showrunner. I saw this bite people in the ass in journalism 1,000 times. I don't get it. Even if the person in question doesn't see it, other people will. Nobody wants to work with an asshole.

Saw a gamer complain about "all the rage-bait news about unions that has nothing to do with the game." SPOILER. The well-being of *the people who make the game* has EVERYTHING to do with the game. Your books don't write/edit/illustrate/layout themselves. #ttrpg #ttrpgsolidarity

But imagine a story where he did *this*...? That's why you have Homelander, Omni-Man, Hyperion, Supreme, The Plutonian, Samaritan, Brightburn, and dozens upon dozens of other franchises, characters, and properties.

I feel like comic creators have failed if we can get you to believe a man can fly, that he can do the impossible, that he looks out for others, and he always does the right thing... ...but somehow we can't get you to believe that character would always find a way NOT to kill.

Be mad if you like, but I’m with @danslott. Superman and Batman don’t kill. Don’t bother sending samples, I’ve read those stories and they are either out of context, out of continuity, or out of character. They both have a code, it makes them what they are.

2) Don’t disparage one creator’s work in order to praise another's. Saying “You’re the greatest artist to ever draw Potato Man” is one thing.” Adding “And you’re so much better than that awful hack, Joe Blow” is quite another. Focus on the positive and put the negative aside.

Two Sunday morning thoughts: 1) Just because something doesn’t resonate with you, doesn’t mean it isn’t good. You may not connect to a specific comic/movie/book, you may even actively dislike it, but you can still recognize that it has value, sometimes great value, to others.

compression is more important than resolution dynamic range is more important than resolution clarity does not equal resolution resolution is not as important as you think

In English, the indefinite article was originally always AN—so it’s not the case that ‘a’ gains an N in front of a vowel, rather ‘an’ loses its N in front of a consonant.

None of this should be too shocking to anyone, but I lay it all down there because I think it's foundational to two key things that make the *conversation* around advice go so bad so easily. In short, our user stories suck.

Yo, Prince William and every other poser, stop pretending you wouldn't have taken Shatner's seat if it had been offered to you. You would have. Stop being hypocrites and let a 90 year old man be.

Confidence lets you ask "obvious" questions without fear of looking dumb or ignorant. Just asking simple questions about how something works can be incredibly revelatory, because the answers don't just go to you, they go to EVERYONE, and can shine light where's it's needed.

Rather, he needed three not-terribly-technical things to be able to ask great technical questions: 1. Empathy 2. Confidence 3. Humility

Oh lordy. It appears: • Journalist noticed a flaw on a state website; namely, the state was publicly publishing sensitive data, accessible by anyone w/o any security • Journo did the right thing and reported this to the state • State is now prosecuting journo as a hacker???https://twitter.com/GovParsonMO/status/1448697768311132160 …

Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"
