Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 19/08/2026the thing about a 10 Things musical is that the original film has such a strong soundtrack. it's up there with R+J for some of the best needledrops of its era, no? 030
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 19/08/2026If you have hung out with young kids lately, odds are good that the book they actually like reading is Dog Man: it's short, funny, and full of pictures. Right now, that's where the industry is aiming. www.vox.com/culture/4996... 070
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Because for the past 20 years or so, middle-grade books have also been getting super long! So some people think that kids stopped reading because they stopped being able to find books that were actually suitable to their grade level. 150

Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 03/06/2026People consistently want to feel that they are connecting with another human being when they experience art! That's something that the gradual adoption of the camera actually makes fairly clear. www.vox.com/culture/4906... 151
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 03/06/2026People downgrade art they're told is AI-generated over art they're told is human-made, even if the labels are wrong. Sometimes that gets trotted out as proof that people are just being snobs about AI. But, I mean, what if people are just telling the truth? www.vox.com/culture/4906... 120
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 24/05/2026kind of shocking how true this is. I can't stop thinking about it. theonion.com/name-one-mas... 320

Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 21/05/2026Journalists have been laundering that fake statistic for each other by copy/pasting it without attribution going back to at least 2007. But I asked publishing's industry trackers in the US and the UK, and they both told me it's untrue. www.vox.com/culture/3929... 171
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 21/05/2026My quest to kill this zombie statistic continues. People are constantly repeating that women buy 80% of fiction, but that statistic is based on nothing! It is probably made up! 2110

Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Skipping from “we should not glorify abuses of power merely because they are performed by women” to “all working women are uncool scam artists:” it’s an easier rhetorical move than you would think! 360

Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 11/02/2026There’s a lot of horror in this book, but I genuinely think the most bloodchilling passage is the part where Linton Heathcliff starts gloating that all his wife’s money belongs to him now, so he can use it to abuse her. 020
Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 02/02/2026As the Epstein files keep dribbling out with more and more names, I keep thinking about Tina Brown's private jet theory of the world — namely, that powerful people will put up with a lot of shit if it means they get to fly private tinabrown.substack.com/p/after-flyi... 191

Constance Grady @constancegrady.bsky.social · 06/07/2025Fwiw, I don't find Helena Kelly a particularly persuasive reader of Austen. In the same book, she argues that Austen's contemporary readers would have understood Colonel Brandon to be the secret father of his illegitimate ward, her chief evidence for this being that we never learn his first name. 231
