will get old and die waiting for someone to say "At least you tried." When I worked at EW, I used to say that our five worst selling covers of the year should be the five stories we most believed in. Because when you pander and sell badly, you accomplish nothing. Same is true in movies, I think. >

On National Poetry Day, here’s a short poem about the power of poetry to change the world.

Visitors to the US are on track to drop by almost two million year-on-year. “We’re the only major country in the world losing visitation,” the head of the US Travel Association said. “It’s mind-boggling.” www.semafor.com/article/09/2...

To say that I've been JONESING for this day would be a massive understatement (and more than a little rascally). But it would be entirely true. World, I present the cover of @shannonbrazilpdx.bsky.social's debut novel, due in March, 2027 from Limit Zero Publications. #OMG #CanNotWait #ToJones

It's been remarked that one definition of an honest man is that, when you buy him, he stays bought. This has always sort of been the pillar of Trump's own particular dishonesty: you can't actually buy him, not because he's principled, but because he'll pocket the money and fuck you over anyway
