I just love that when you’re enjoying Dorian Electra, you have Dio on visuals and Julian Casablancas on vocals.

It’s almost like ostentatious displays of wealth obtained by unethical means in the face of a nationwide financial crisis is how the Jacobins and Bolsheviks became a thing

After all, for decades, there was an unspoken bargain with America’s ultra-moneyed. They could enjoy unimaginable privilege as long as they projected austerity or stayed largely out of the limelight. Warren Buffett in a modest home in Omaha. Mark Zuckerberg in hoodies and an Acura. They mostly left the conspicuous displays of the good life — over-the-top birthday parties, flashy cars, cosmetic enhancements — to celebrities and reality-TV stars.
But Mrs. Sánchez Bezos is nothing if not a woman intent on sampling the full menu. She hasn’t just changed Mr. Bezos into a man who hosts Kris Jenner’s James Bond-themed 70th birthday party at his Los Angeles home: Sometimes it seems she’s taken the entire culture with her.
After years defined by financial crisis, pandemic lockdowns and moral earnestness, unabashed rich-person exuberance is back with a Blue Origin bang, a Mar-a-Lago makeover of the White House and a Zuckerberg rap cover. The Bezos’ marriage seems, at times, as much a cultural inflection point as a love story — the moment American money stopped apologizing and decided it might as well enjoy itself.

Thoughts on technique vs vision from Marcos Mateu-Mestre’s “Framed Ink”

As artists we need to be especially perceptive of this surrounding energy, because it is our work to translate it into something physical, more tangible, like a drawing or the narration of a story that will successfully convey and deliver all of it effectively to an
audience.
In this book we will talk about artistic grammar" and techniques that will help in this translation process, but, besides technique, we will always need our individual perception, instinct, passion, and intuitive understanding of things in order for this "translation work" not to come out as completely mechanical, predictable, and formulaic. Technique is one thing; feeling and mood-the expression of which is our goal-are another. The former will help us put the latter out there, but will never take its place.
If we are going to tell a story, we need to believe in it and its characters. If we are going to move an audience, we need to be moved ourselves first. We just won't be able to give something that we don't have.

I just feel like things would’ve gone differently in Death Note if Light had just admitted that he was dramatic and went into Theatre.

A while ago I realized that as an author, I had free will with my world building, and I didn’t have to limit myself with how I got that done. So, in service of that, here’s some fun lore for Tiger & The Viper, stylized like a music magazine think piece.

Cuts to SNAP and Social Security are supposedly inevitable but he’s…*checks notes* a ruthless, iron-clad businessman who gets it done? And somehow the Dems are to blame for standing in his way? Do the Republicans not have a majority in the House, Senate and Supreme Court? What you mean?
