Not a huge fan of Sorkin as a director, but I like the cast. But I think I have my answer.

Do I want to go see "The Social Reckoning?"

Right in front of my nose and I didn't even think of it.

Looking for a good example of a party/funeral/wedding scene that introduces a lot of characters from omniscient POV. Suggestions?

What does that mean? Assuming it's not nice.

I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

Dang, Swartwood, you just injected me with poison!

@danchaon.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 4:12 AM

Absolutely. If I were a bot, I'd be like, hello, I am Danbot would you like to communication with me? I am friend!

I know, right? It's so hilarious that they are unable to understand even basic satire/dystopia. BECAUSE THEY NEVER "GOT" THE HUMANITIES. (But also because they are sociopaths. America has been super welcoming for sociopaths.)

@danchaon.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 4:04 AM

Definitely agree. Since I only taught at liberal arts colleges I never saw/experienced this as a teacher, but that attitude is definitely raining down in big wet shitty droplets in our current world, so I know you are right.

Of the five senses, "touch" gets such short shrift in fiction. The palms of your hands and the soles of your feet are such incredibly sensitive parts of your body that maybe you don't pay enough attention to as you should.

@danchaon.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 3:55 AM

Not fair!

@danchaon.bsky.socialSep 30, 2026, 3:48 AM

If you were a bot would you tell me that you were a bot?
