A riveting tale of love and war from @satopol that reads like a novel. Easily the best thing I've read in @NYTmag of late. https://t.co/aMgF7YpNTU

An old story from the phenomenal @jfagone, but this is among my favorite reads lately. Hard to imagine an AI tech story with more humanity at its core. Brought me tears more than once. https://t.co/reDaFUyGIc

You know this only makes sense if ancient humans were capable of flight. Or, I guess, aliens. https://t.co/rr7jfdDNej

Multiple editor reads are valuable, but I'm casting my vote for just a single mag editor making actual changes to a draft.

In editing, one common issue I see across mags is "editor telephone": when multiple layers of editors add, remove or rearrange copy in such a way that the original flow or meaning is jumbled. As the writer, it feels odd being asked by one editor to edit what another editor added.

I'm such a big fan of Jason Rohrer's transcendent game-designing journey right now. #ProjectSkydrop https://t.co/GMFEccir2X

Can't imagine this going wrong. Then again, this is exactly the sort of ingenuity we need to consider. https://t.co/86Xda6sk0C

What a beautiful and beautifully written love story by @Kelsey_Rex with @atavist. Beware sudden tears with the finals lines! https://t.co/4ZN5qyVljq

Doesn't make much cents to me. https://t.co/bS6uzfnQOQ

"Squint, and you can see it: a scenario in which the loneliness crisis today is really a mass period of acclimatization. It’s a bridge, an evolutionary step, during which we make our peace with certain trade-offs and realities." https://t.co/GZDaN0jFeH

Another fun, funny, reflective essay at the fringes from the inimitable Leath Tonino @outsidemagazine https://t.co/fZPV8WUWlK

https://t.co/8ERe1EgXpB Tough, heartbreaking story from @atavist, and a great read.

https://t.co/qnFNck92br Wild and absurd that climate change ranks 19th on a list of what voters care about (though at least Dems care more). Y'all: inflation and the economy are fleeting whims. Our mother Earth is not and should always be #1. (Duh)

Late to this, but as a fellow writer & storyteller (and film/TV lover), I find this infuriating and worrying. The government needs to apply antitrust laws to Hollywood, or there will only be shit and old movies left to watch. https://t.co/vAHTQmDZDV via @Harpers
