Molly was born in the ‘Johnny Mnemonic’ short story.

@toasteecup owes chat GPT an apology

Of course it wasn’t written by ai, this isn’t sports illustrated

A wonderful real-world example of Cunningham’s Law - my pleasure.

it degrades the quality of the platform as a whole and encourages reactions which aren’t based on the actual content.

As the guy who posts content 2-4 times a day because others don’t, I would absolutely welcome this level of passion to posting new, appropriate, original content as opposed to complaining because the posted content doesn’t meet your standard of quality.

Oh yes, of course, my bad. The last MCU movie made so much money - don’t know what I was talking about …

NOT.

I don’t want to polarize or argue. My basic conclusion, having watched the quality of the storytelling decline AND the moviegoing populace check out is: People are over the MCU. Whether it’s the Sony-based characters that are also tangentially connected to the MCU or otherwise.

And here I was, sad that I wasn’t nominated

I advised calm before, I am advising calm now.

I forgot - I had some MASK toys, too.

I loved the space crater lego plate where you could build the space station and imagine you were on the moon

@Jilanico adds to the list …

But you did read it.

@zcd Ooh!

All those… moments… will lost in time.

My secret plan to driving engagement by posting a title with missing words so people would check into complain is working exactly as expected.

‘How hard is it, how does it feel, what’s surprising about it, what are the motivations behind it?’

Producing an audio book - from story to publishing onto a platform/YouTube - takes as much time as it does to write it. For example, The Rocket took me about 40 hours to write, re-write … it took me another 40 hours to produce into an audio book, not counting whatever time Jeremiah spent on audio work.

How does it feel - It feels great, even if it’s tiring, to make something cool. I want to focus on how the book will make readers feel, so I try to keep thinking about them as much as possible.

What’s surprising about it - I think the thing I’m most surprised about is how anti-climactic the end state is. You make something, poured your blood, sweat and tears into it, and then … yeah. That’s it. People listen to it, some respond. Then it’s onto the next thing. I won’t think too much about the project after I’m done with it, but then I’ll go back and listen to it again. Gives me a sense of pride and joy to be able to see something I still believe in, months or years down the road.

what are the motivations behind it? - My original motivation to tell stories is something I’ve talked about on the blog, so I’ll assume you’re asking about ‘motivation to make audio books.’ TL;DR - I like to make movies, too. Turning audio books into mini radio dramas with pictures is something that scratches a fun little itch for me. It’s this close to making movies, and so it brings me a lot of joy to cut video/audio/SFX together in Premiere.

Business opportunity - sell the disaster videos to YouTube!

I’m deeply concerned about the project with Jared Leto out in front.
