When I read about a scammy cult in a manga, first thing I do is see if it was written before or after the Aum Shinrikyo terror attacks. And it’s always “after”. For like five years the archetype was still mostly-harmless grifters.

one thing about writing an entire book about sandwiches is my brain is just full of random facts now. coffee plants were forcibly introduced to java by the dutch. tuna fishes have extraordinarily high lung capacity. barbecue was a status symbol denoting slave ownership in the antebellum south

I can’t think of any really bad advice that I’ve received. Some of it might not have been right for me at the time. Much of the good advice I got, I wasn’t in a place to use. Bad feedback that I’ve GIVEN is a much larger category…

If you see this, please tell me the worst/most baffling bit of creative feedback you've ever recieved. Mine is still the time somebody told me my aliens had names that were too alien. Not that they were unpronounceable, just that they didn't sound enough like human names.

What do: whale poop fossilized tree resin electrons & metal alloys have in common? *AMBER*. I'll explain. We start with a possible Arabic root, عنبر 'anbar', which enters Middle Latin as 'ambar', then Middle French as 'ambre'. It refers to a waxy concretion formed in the guts of a sperm whale.

A variety of grades, colors and processing levels on amber pieces. One raw piece, one polished but unshaped, some have visible bugs in them.

At Double or Nothing, Jack Perry hit a golf cart with his schoolbus, as one does in a wrestling match. I figured that it was pretaped (like most "backstage segments") and there was a hidden cut where they got Mark Davis safely out of the way. It was live. www.reddit.com/r/SquaredCir... #AEWDoN

Marvin in So Long and Thanks For All the Fish. I'm sure there were things that hit me when I was much younger, but I felt that one for a while

Was chatting about this during an interview with an author, but it was interesting enough that I’d like to open up the question to all of you: what’s the first literary/fictional death that made an impression on you as a kid? Mine has to be poor old Mary Lennox’s family in The Secret Garden.

One of the many things pro wrestling has taught me is that at a certain point rich people value more control over people than they do more money. I named it the McMahon rule sometime in the early 00s.

Adding to this thread: it’s a common mistake (I’ve made it myself, many times) to think of the motivations of the capitalist elites as essentially mercantilist: that is, that they are largely still motivated *entirely* by profit and loss, selling product, etc. This has not been true for a while.

When wrestlers talk about Owen Hart, they rarely begin with the accident that took him. They begin with the person: how he changed the temperature backstage, how he worked, how he joked, how he made other people feel safer inside a business that often rewards the opposite. 🧵
