It’s entirely possible the phone might have survived if he hadn’t purposely broken it — good tip

read a lot of King as a kid. For me he's got some fun reads, but his ideas get repetitive quickly, his prose style is lousy, & his characters are cartoons. But he's a good entertainer. From time to time he tries to strive for more in a way that I think is interesting though

A lot of my mutuals posting about their favorite/best Stephen King novel. Here is a perhaps embarrassing(?) confession: I’ve never read any Stephen King. As a teenager I was reading George Orwell, Charlotte Brontë, and Virginia Woolf. Did I miss out?

the ones I generally liked best are the ones where he gets weirdness w structure, like It, The Tommyknockers, the Dead Zone. Then you have nasty little thrillers like The Dark Half and Misery

Caring about your own child is not meant to be a frictionless experience. If you degrade to this point you gotta have some very difficult conversations w yourself

The great thing about having a Portuguese dad is you can’t visit without leaving with something random foisted on you. God knows what. Sometimes it’s 3 gallons of olive oil. It could be, & has been, a black leather jacket and a box of head-on shrimp. You will never predict it

I build expensive journals for people, but have come to realize customers buy them as an aspirational purchase, not a practical one. I’ve been told many times they’re “too nice to use” even though I design them for that purpose

I handwrite first drafts of pretty much everything. Sometimes I buy these expensive journals, but when I sit down to write in them, my farm-boy hand recoils like a human body rejecting a baboon heart, and I go back to writing on plain printer paper like always.

I don’t use journals myself. I write by hand but on an iPad mini. My paper style is one I made myself, light green letter size w margins. Advantages: I can write in the dark, the ink is erasable, and I can zoom in to fill the margins w tiny script in case I want to add something

Watching the DGG Halloween trilogy & I’m way in the minority here but Halloween Kills is kind of amazing. Everyone is so hilariously stupid, I’m loving it

Again, remember that this use of AI is a tool of *management* and production — not labor. This $78.5M cost savings is good for *management*. This also represents $78.5M in lost wages for skilled artists and craftspeople

"Merry the Christmas Witch" director Tom Walsh says his movie adaptation of the 2012 children’s book would've cost $80 million if he did not use AI. The final budget was $1.5 million. “We were kind of stuck. The doors are not very open to new kind[s] of ideas and new kind[s] of stories and everything, and that makes it a little tough for independent filmmakers, so that’s where AI came in.” variety.com/2026/film/news/m…

watching Halloween II for the first time & i thought the stuff about Dr. Loomis being a homicidal maniac were just wisecracks. He just committed assault w intent to murder of what seems to be a child & chased him into an oncoming car that burst into flames. Boy! Not a nice fellow

Also committed A&B on a police officer trying to stop him but evidently they’re ok with this and the preceding offenses & have taken him on a ride along
