I am so over the military porn and forced patriotism at sporting events.

One way you know Dolly Parton lived life the right way: I don’t think anyone’s going to get fired for accurately quoting Dolly Parton today.

PS1 graphics aren't exactly known for their fidelity, but the dirt makes it look too busy. Wanted to make it look dirty and worn. But it looks too busy when I scaled the image down down. Still undecided if this is the direction I want to go in, but I do enjoy the process. #LowPoly #PS1 #3Dmodeling

Well, it's ugly. Just like I'd feared there are serious issues with that wing. A lot of z-fighting. Know what I did wrong, though. But the PS1 had z-fighting issues in some games... so... it's fine, maybe. It's actually amazing it looks as good as it does... #LowPoly

Didn't even do any concept sketches, and only saw a few bare bones tutorials. Just jumped in and started messing around. The topology on that wing is a nightmare. 😂 But Blockbench is interesting. Pixel art is great, but I'm going to see how it looks with a PS1-ish style. It's alright. #LowPoly

A visit from Ollie *Before I took these he was very blatantly and comically judging me, but I couldn't get a pic in time 😂 #Cats #CatSky

Ollie the cat, a mostly white Turkish Van (I think), staring off to the right.

Ollie the cat looking disapprovingly below the camera, where my chair squeaked out of frame.

The most dangerous thing about AI is not that the machines might one day think. It is that we are being trained, by men with enormous financial gains riding on our acquiescence, to stop thinking for ourselves.

Executives say unhinged things because they serve an unhinged system that promises impossibly unhinged results. You can’t propagate a fantasy as ridiculous as infinite profits and eternal company growth without your words eventually detaching from reality. Capitalism’s a mass delusion.

There are plenty of other ways to do this—if you wanted to do this. But one thing I like about Plottr is it allows me to plot my stories out so visually. The light green line in the middle is the main protagonist's POV. The dark green line is a secondary... #writingcommunity #writesky #writingsky

Screen shot of Plottr. Three lines: dark green at the top, light green in the middle, red at the bottom. Each line has boxes, each box representing a scene. They're spaced out to form a wave. Red box. Next spot to the right, light green box. Next spot to the right, dark green box. Next space to the right, light green box. Next spot to the right, red box.

And so on and so forth.

I disagree with the idea the Penguins haven't chosen a path. They have. It is clearly long-term. It just not the way most envisioned it looking. They have also identified a very clear type of player they want to bet on. Some early returns are promising. www.pensburgh.com/analysis/788...

The Penguins have clearly identified the type of player they want to bet on

The Pittsburgh Penguins have picked a direction and the type of players they want to make bets on going forward.

Corporation: We made $5 billion but spent $4.9 billion to keep going, so our net taxable income is $100 million. Gov’t: That’s right. Worker: I made $50,000 but spent $45,000 to keep going, so my net taxable income is $5,000. Gov’t: That’s wrong.

Did you read a book if you skipped the prologue, epilogue, and everything that isn't dialogue? Is the epilogue even part of the story? Are prologues just "author yap"? Are they even "in the book?" New Video: "Maybe You Don't Like Reading" youtu.be/gZUCHqotnwA

Quick, informal poll: Does everyone here already know that the Zon owns GoodReads? Related: do you think this is understood amongst authors in general? I'm just curious about perceptions, here.
