Nic Cage:
He continued: “How do you survive AI? Amazon is a very AI friendly company to the tune of 50 billion dollars invested to OpenAI. I am not an AI friendly actor. I didn’t sign the waiver to let them use AI on Spider-Noir. It’s kind of like I’m probably not going to be working with that studio again. But that’s OK. So I got to get with these young directors who are Gen Z and they’re going at it their own way, whether it’s through the YouTube culture or whatever it is. They’re doing it from scratch and by hand. I want to get with that.”

Use ALT text. It's relatively easy to do, you can set Bluesky to not allow you to post pics without it, and you can easily search up best practices for it. The added bonus is that you're more likely to get more engagement as well.

Okay, nerds, it's time for a #grammar lesson on old-timey singular you: thou, thee, thy, and thine. Thou: subject - for when the person is doing an action. Example: Thou art most ardently into this Dietrch/Fabio ship. Thee: object - for when the person is receiving an action. (example below 👇)

One of my favourite fanart genres I will never get sick of is every ship at minimum 1 (one) piece of art based on Klimt's "The Kiss." But I need more based on Frederic William Burton's "The Meeting On the Turret Stairs." Especially for Ferdibert. If there is Ferdibert art based on that, tell me.

I have so few complaints about this book. Yet it is also a stark reminder that any given narrative device can overstay its welcome. For me, with dramatic irony, that is when I've figured out the secret before the 25% mark but the protagonist is still struggling more than 75% of the way in.

So here's a question. There's a book where people are having trouble following the timeline. However, in the physical book, the shifts in timeline are denoted with an image in the scene breaks, plus in other flashbacks, the author uses past perfect tense to set up the flashback. So:

I am a fire (and you are dry as bone)
SeraphStarshine

Summary:

Felix bites his tongue to resist the urge to say more, to reassure Dimitri, to compliment him further, because he does look nice.

Actually, he looks...really nice.

Wait...what the actual fuck is wrong with him?

Felix is Dimitri's shield, his protector, nothing else. But with the war far behind them, recent changes in Dimitri have started to catch his attention. For once, he is looking at the king just to look, not to assess. It changes things between them, and like anything new, it terrifies Felix.

SPIRITFARER is emotional moments held together by a framework of light platforming, fishing, and a few management sim elements. Literally no other emotional moments in games I've played can compare to the ugly crying Spiritfarer made me do. No, not that one. Not that one, either. Spirtfarer wins.

When ppl say “write for yourself” they mean during the actual process… the parts where you’re actively creating, thinking about the plot etc That’s separate from the POSTING It’s not “post the fic for yourself” for a reason No one is saying "u shouldn't want engagement"

#TavQOTD Touch Irennan's hands tend to stray towards Gale's face, hair, and his cute little round ears. (No one in the history of the Forgotten Realms has ever been loved the way Irennan loves Gale, sorry.)
Irennan is a male drow with collar-length white hair that's swept back from his face except for a stubborn strand that hangs down by his cheek. In this screenshot, taken at the nighttime Rivington camp in act 3, he and Gale are framed from the upper arms to the tops of their heads, and are doing a little headbutt of love--their foreheads touching. Irennan's hand is on Gale's cheek, and Gale's covering Irennan's hand with his own.

If you see this we IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you’re using without explanation.
Still image of Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation. He's standing in a room on the Enterprise, and holding a copy of The Globe Illustrated Shakespeare, which is a very large hardcover book that contains all of William Shakespeare's plays, sonnets, and some of his other poetry. I cannot stress enough just how big this book is, and the way Stewart is holding it emphasises its bigness, like he can't quite encompass the thing in his arms/hands.
