When you (an editor or a critique partner or a classmate) comment on someone's writing, you can absolutely deal them a disabling injury if you're thoughtless about it. I'm not saying anyone should be dishonest or refrain from pointing out issues. I'm saying
Mario's brother Luigi is gay-coded. I will accept no dissenting views at this time.

Of all the pasta shapes out there, cavatappi is the best and it's not even close, and I'm tired of pretending otherwise
I really wish tech bros focused on "massively disrupting" things we actually don't want to do, like laundry or dusting the shelves.
Futurism@futurism.com · 4w ago"People are still reading human made books. Why is that?"
Minions director Pierre Coffin has confirmed in an interview that no minions have worked with Hitler because they were frozen "in that cave."
Throwback to when a TV station in Iceland accidentally aired an episode of Teletubbies with subtitles from the Sopranos 👌🏼
1804. Oceans are now Battlefields. In the South China Sea a British convoy worth almost £1bn today is spotted by the French. It should be a massacre. Instead, Commodore Nathanial Dance is about to defeat a French battle squadron using some paint and the most overplayed hand in #navalHistory. /1 🧵
This cover is so, so gorgeous
Marty Cahill@mcflycahill90.bsky.social · 3mo agoHappy Friday, for some reason, I've grown self-conscious about putting my book out there, so I'm trying to be brave, here ya go, tricksters & time travel and I hope you give this non-binary Fox god and their potential new very-nice-but-kind-of-a-fuck-up acolyte a try <3 bookshop.org/p/books/audi...

Emily St. James@emilystjams.bsky.social · 3mo agoFilm you've watched more than six times, etc., read the instructions in the quoted skeet (For some reason, every I used to happen upon this one on cable, I would watch it, even though I don't particularly like it.)
they got this figure in the classic "yoda crouching down and talking on the phone" pose he was always doing in the movies
I've been car-free since 2008; I don't miss having to drive or maintain a car. It's great being able to walk everywhere!
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · 4mo agoOne of the things I love most about NYC, and something I cherish, is walking, biking and taking the subway. It’s actually superior to being in a car whenever you have the choice.
