Karaoke with frens after so so fucking long.

Had even got Brando-elf to play Elf-Colonel Kurzilon, the BBEG. No dice.

Just see how Royal Road or similar platforms let readers slice & dice books by granular tags. The joy of discovering a new book by just picking it up, or the bittersweet disappointment afterwards, have been replaced by data-driven catering of specific media for a hyper-specific audience.

Specifically a shot where his camera dwells on the uncomfortable silence of a teary-eyed Meghnad reminiscing, instead of cutting away I really want to see more of and from Sattvik. I don't have insta, so it now falls on @alpha17i.bsky.social to backchannel all his creative updoots to me via signal

This is what I lost my current job to. So, I'll fuck you up if you post AI apologia on my feed. I put 15 years of work to be where I am, and this is how it was stolen from me. Guillotine is the most timid thing I'd recommend for AI users.

Oh I lost 25 USD on someone like this. They have since deleted the account. I paid after phase-1 of the commission because I didn't like their approach and stopped right away. They just traced some of my work + reference and that was it. They kept hounding me on discord dms too.

Found an extremely old pic of me sitting beside @adityab.net during a The Kindle Mag event in Kolkata. Barely 20, and after my first and last ever published short-story. I had no business being there on that stage. I still have no clue why @adityab.net chose my story for that edition. 😆

Degeneracy is a Class Frame of Reference. It is usually used to suppress art that is not palatable to the Ruling Class. Always remember this:

A few more of my favs, my heart was filled with so much joy for GenZ. And it's just not them, balding millenals, grey-beard Gen X'ers and even many erudite boomers (I can spot profs who would bum a cig with their students from a mile away). Everyone was there.

Exactly, I don't see why can't we demand the same of Nolan given his budget is 250mill as opposed to 70mill for The Northman. Eggers is known to worry about period accurate Puritan nails and sawmarks. And, somehow we are OK with Nolan's Bat-a-mennon and Alabaster Trojans? 250 Mill vs 70 Mill
