Here’s the thing, I’m looking at all the books I have - too many and yet never enough - and all of them are an opportunity to commune with another human across time & space, to know their thoughts and wrestle with our own. Why would we trade this away in the name of efficiency? Of product?

If you, like me, are a fiend for deductive narrative games (Obra Dinn, Golden Idol, etc) then you must check out the tremendous The Seance of Blake Manor (out today), which has become one of my favorite games of 2025. Only caveat is that I ran into a few nasty bugs www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATH_...

I get Notion went with "Quack" for the rubberducking connotations... but you want me to believe no one pointed out that it also means (to quote Dictionary.com) "a person who pretends, professionally or publicly, to have skill, knowledge, or qualifications they do not possess; a charlatan"? For real?

You have to be in it for the love of the game. You have to be obsessed. If you let a bot do your research for you, your bloodline is weak, your ancestors are ashamed, and you will not survive the winter.

This is one of the first illustrations I made for The White Horse of Lowvale. It is based in a Germanic legend, although I've always found fascinating the amount of cultures referencing an evil white horse that charms people to take them for a ride and drown them. You can get the book in my store!

The fact that the thing we're calling artificial intelligence *can't do math* and yet we're jamming it into programs that successfully *have done math* for decades, then warning people against using the AI to do math, seems like an excellent summary of where we are.

hi this is my favorite writing advice, it's from former simpsons writer john swartzwelder (i think about the crappy little elf all the time) www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

screengrab of a portion of new yorker interview with former simpson's writer john swartzwelder:
Mike Sacks: How much time and attention did you spend on these scripts? Another “Simpsons” writer once compared your scripts to finely tuned machines—if the wrong person mucked with them, the whole thing could blow up.
Swartzwelder: All of my time and all of my attention. It’s the only way I know how to write, darn it. But I do have a trick that makes things easier for me. Since writing is very hard and rewriting is comparatively easy and rather fun, I always write my scripts all the way through as fast as I can, the first day, if possible, putting in crap jokes and pattern dialogue—“Homer, I don’t want you to do that.” “Then I won’t do it.” Then the next day, when I get up, the script’s been written. It’s lousy, but it’s a script. The hard part is done. It’s like a crappy little elf has snuck into my office and badly done all my work for me, and then left with a tip of his crappy hat. All I have to do from that point on is fix it. So I’ve taken a very hard job, writing, and turned it into an easy one, rewriting, overnight. I advise all writers to do their scripts and other writing this way. And be sure to send me a small royalty every time you do it.

I do technical training as part of my job and I've been banging on about this for so long: learn HTML! Yes, even in 2024! It is still useful! Even if your content platform is WYSIWYG it probably has an html view where you can fix shit manually with a little bit of easy code!
