16·8 小时前Yup. I remember sending people the transcript when they were trying to say “Yeah, he didn’t mean violently…”
Uh… did you read the transcript? 🤔

7·9 小时前Hoisin Sauce - Umami bomb!
So here’s what you do…
Marinate chicken breast in soy sauce a good couple hours or overnight.
Chop it into cubes, put them on skewers and grill until done.
Take an onion bun, paint one side with peanut sauce, the other with hoisin sauce. Stack up the chicken, top off with a slaw mixture, green and purple cabbage, shredded carrots.
Top all that off with sweet chili sauce. Put the top bun on and enjoy!
In fairness, the unedited speech urged violence…

Man, I wish my company would do that, I’d resign, pay off my house! 😉 I’d even have money left over!
Complete for now… Martin is the hang up at this point. 😉
But serious shout out to Folio for doing some of the best books in the business. I’ve spent way too much money with them. LOL.
It’s like illustrated editions are cursed or something…
Bloomsbury was doing gorgeous Harry Potter illustrated editions. They got through 5/7 and the illustrator burned out and stepped down. 😟 In theory they have a replacement and #6 will be out next year.

The Folio Society was doing a fantastic illustrated sets of the original James Bond books, then their artist got caught stealing the work of other artists in their Wizards of the Coast work, that de-railed the final book in the series, but it DID finally come out.

That’s how the Narnia books end funnily enough.
“And everyone died in a train crash, the end!”
Sorry if I spoiled the ending of a 70+ year old book series. 😉
The worst are the books that just don’t have an ending. I had that with Stephen King’s “Cell”. Fantastic premise, an alien information virus hijacks cell phone signals to turn people into mindless zombies building something.
What are they building? 🤷♂️
Were the heroes successful in stopping it? 🤷♂️
What the hell happened? 🤷♂️It’s like King went “Oh, shit, the deadline is today? Fine, pack it up and ship it.”
For the film version they had to invent a new ending because the book just doesn’t have one, it stops, but no ending.
I was wondering why he just doesn’t cut the manuscript in 1/2, publish the first as “Part 1” and re-set his publication clock.
Apparently he has somewhere between 1,100 and 1,200 pages completed.
But as he explained elsewhere, he doesn’t write linearlly. He focuses on one point of view “chapter” and then that informs other point of view chapters, so there’s a lot of back and forth.
So 1,100 to 1,200 finished pages doesn’t mean a cohesive narrative.
So here’s my story… Not a fan. I found the first book to be a slog with nothing happening for the first 400 pages. Lots of people sitting around in rooms talking.
I also didn’t care much for any of the characters and from that point on chose only to read the Jon and Arya chapters.
So when I hit Arya discovering the aftermath of the Red Wedding I was like “Well, clearly I missed something…” Backtracked and read that chapter and went “Well… glad I wasn’t invested in THAT character!”
From a non-linear creative process, imagine if he wrote the Arya chapter first. I don’t know that that’s how he specifically did it, but he’s describing a similar process on the new book.
Now he has to go back and write that whole thing that he described the aftermath of.
It wouldn’t be publishable without it.
Looking forward to the announcement that he’s 3/4 done with the final 1/4. 😉 Then we just need the announcement that he’s 3/4 done with the final 1/16th…

“I’d love to turn it over to the publisher, but I’m having trouble deciding on the final punctuation mark.”
Yahoo notoriously linkjacks other sites, in this case “The New Republic”.
Please update it to the original source or we’ll have to remove it.
41·1 天前Blows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.
They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.
Doesn’t this just confirm the comically large check that was released previously from the birthday book?

The skin community is going to be all over the swappable panels like butter on hot corn.
Edit That didn’t take long…
When you make a report, it goes to the mods of that community, but it also goes to the Admins of their home instance.
Generally, people take a dim view of AI content and remove it once it’s apparent.
Yes, I’d say report it when you see it. If you see something, say something.
InfiniteBagel already got banned for this, so at a minimum, Bagel is ban evading. Same for CosmicWaffle or whatever the other one was.
