66/ I strongly agree with this! ...and this is why I was saying that it's better to read a curated selection of classics than to concentrate on reading things merely because they're "recent".

67/ That's not remotely what I said. I made an observation about distribution, not a causal argument. Please pay attention and engage constructively ; strawmen are boring.https://twitter.com/sharagodwinson/status/1290755300396417024 …

Here Be Dragons 🐲 🐉 🏳️🌈 🌈 @sharagodwinsonYay! You added me to the Neverending Twitter Thread! Thank you Michael Ende of Twitter. Not...evenly distributed... this is a really bad take. You're suggesting that greatness can only be attributed to works older works because: time = greatness. It does not. https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290752679359242248 …1 reply 0 retweets 12 likesShow this thread -
68/ Still chuckling that I made an SJW mad by agreeing with Heinlein that some women are smart / good at things and enjoy sex.

Sarah McKinlayScott @doctorflopsyYou can’t jump from 90% only award winners (which is certainly less than 1%). You’d be better off doing bestsellers if you want an accurate overview of good writing. My point was, it’s impossible to support the claim that SF of any era is better written. https://twitter.com/morlockp/status/1290754057733312513?s=21 … https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290754057733312513 …Show this thread2 replies 0 retweets 5 likesShow this thread -

71/ why, exactly, Sir Kevin the White Knight, should I re-read that? Are you upset that I had the temerity to civilly disagree with a female interlocutor, and use a book written by a female author as my cite?https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/1290768713520750603 …

72/ we've got a bluecheck tagging in I guess I'm a reactionary for saying that SF authors wrote, on average BETTER sf about gender issues, race, trans, etc. in the 1970s (when editors selected on merit) than in the 2020s (when they don't)https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1290770912975912960 …

74/ I didn't say "no", I said "all but". Which, if you're familiar with the English language, you know means "nearly". Jeff Vandermeer is a great author. John Scalzi ... also, yes, writes.https://twitter.com/nberlat/status/1290772169899888643 …

75/ you still haven't answered the question, Sir Kevin. Why, out of nowhere, did you jump in and tell me that I need to read about people who don't respect women's rights? Something I tweeted, one presumes? Please like to what I said.https://twitter.com/kevinmarks/status/1290772492366295041 …
