When they release the DVD instead of having director's commentary they should have Rocky's commentary. Just 2.5 hours of Rocky talking endlessly in character about what's happening in the movie

Some of these books were lost and never found; others were never even written.
My latest for Atlas Obscura is up! I reported on Reid Byers's truly wonderful "imaginary books" collection on display at the Grolier Club in Manhattan right now—and I got to sit in on his class about how to make an imaginary collection at the Center for Book Arts!
These are physical books that were mentioned in other books, split into three categories: "lost," "unfinished," and "fictive." All three are delightful, but the fictive category has *so* many fandom favorites—Death's memoirs from Discworld, a monograph by Sherlock Holmes, Stephen Maturin’s Thoughts on the Prevention of Diseases Most Usual Among Seamen, an entire case of the in-universe books of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane, and many more.
The collection is on display at Grolier until February 15th and it's free to the public; in March it moves to San Francisco. (You can also look at it online—but seriously, these books are incredible in 3D if you're in the area in the next few weeks.) I think fanbinding folks would be especially interested in the material aspects of this project. (And I suspect some fanbinders will have also created in-universe books from their favorite source material!)
Some of my favorites from the online version of the exhibition:
Kubla Khan by Coleridge (if the man from Porlock hadn’t gone and interrupted him at a crucial moment)
Outside the Town of Malbork—but due to a printing error, this volume contains a different book entirely—Leaning From the Steep Slope. (All of them fictional books found in fragments in If on a winter’s night a traveler)
A concise francophone guide to English poetry by an intellectual gentleman by the name of Humbert Humbert
That famous volume of the Encyclopedia of Tlön discovered and described by Professor Borges.
Hannah Jarvis’s seminal monograph on the hermit of Sidley Park, whom she proves conclusively was the former tutor Septimus Hodge.
The manuscript of The Oak Tree: A Poem, which its author/authoress labored over through four hundred or so years (and multiple genders)
Jonathan Strange’s masterwork, The History and Practice of English Magic.
And finally—and maybe this is the funniest one of all:

Bonus:
alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.
we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)
please rb for larger sample size!
Question 1/3
What is your age, and do you feel AI is a net positive or net negative in our lives today?
under 18, AI is a net positive
under 18, AI is a net negative
18-29, AI is a net positive
18-29, AI is a net negative
30-45, AI is a net positive
30-45, AI is a net negative
46-60, AI is a net positive
46-60, AI is a net negative
over 60, AI is a net postive
over 60, AI is a net negative
Question 2/3
How often do you visit or interact with museums/archives (whether in person or online)?
Frequently (multiple times per month)
Often (multiple times per year)
Occasionally (a couple times per year)
Rarely (once every couple of years)
Never :(
Question 3/3
If you saw a museum was using AI in exhibits, marketing, research, etc., would you be more or less inclined to visit that museum?
under 18, more inclined
under 18, less inclined
18-29, more inclined
18-29, less inclined
30-45, more inclined
30-45, less inclined
46-60, more inclined
46-60, less inclined
over 60, more inclined
over 60, less inclined
Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

This got more traction than I imagined and has motivated me to make a more thorough survey where I can actually parse the data.
No email is necessary to input to complete the survey. Please also consider sharing this off tumblr with people in your life to get a broader sample, especially people who love history and love museums!
Please give your thoughts on Generative AI (such as Sora, ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) usage in museums, archives, and other cultural heritage sit
this is doing something to my brain like
Can everyone who makes video content do a Deaf bitch a favor? Watch your shit with the captions on and the sound off, and then do another round of editing to fix things including but not limited to:
Captions cover the spot on the screen you put the information I need
The dialogue is captioned but not the song you have playing that the dialogue is responding to
You only captioned the person on the screen, not the person off screen who is also talking
No captioning of critical sound effects (alarms, bells, dogs barking, etc)
Speakers are not labelled at moments where it is not clear on the screen who is talking.
Captions cover the spot on the screen that you put the information I need!
Other d/Deaf people welcome to add.
This post brought to you by the fifth video tutorial I could not follow because the bad, auto-generated captions covered what I was trying to watch today.

Happy Pride Month to all of my fellow aces!! 🖤🩶🤍💜
things in fic I'm used to people kind of faking their way through writing about:
the city of los angeles
the city of new york
sex
how drinking alcohol works
how getting high works
how a child of any age speaks
how nuclear physics work
how [my job] works
how debilitating being shot in the shoulder is
how hypothermia works
things I have never before seen someone fake their way through writing about, until today:
what french toast is
read through the notes on this one trust me
Here's some of the notes, starting with the things multiple people brought up:
SHRIMP COCKTAIL:
banahbanah: #flashback to that one fic where Peter Parker frets about drinking shrimp cocktail because of the alcohol
generaldeliciousness: adding: what a prawn/shrimp cocktail is
#why is your character turning it down because they're under 21 #do you think prawn cocktail is a cocktail #this lives in my brain rent-free constantly #the rest of the fic was so normal #and good enough that i'll still re-read it #but bro
And then many, MANY, people wondering if this was actually authour mistake, since Peter really would do this!
POMEGRANATES:
zhajhassa: #haha where's that post that was like someone describing someone eating a pomegranate but they ate it like an apple
thornhands: #once someone wrote persephone biting into a whole Pomegranate #had to stop and stare at a wall for a minute
sungsingsanguine: I once saw someone very confidently write about a character eating slices of pomegranate.
FRUIT TREES:
zagreuses-toast: #given a very endearing glimpse into a writers blindspots by seeing them describe someone sitting under a ''pineapple tree''
salatrash: I remember something about picking watermelons... OF A FUCKING TREE
baander: #cranberry trees
DOUGH/BATTER:
maycelium: #I'm a chef so I'm really used to people not accurately describing how to cook food #But I was surprisingly flabbergasted when someone was writing making a cake and was kneading it. Which uh #Not necessary for cake. It was interesting for sure but just bizarre
livebloggingmydescentintomadness: #the one that drove me nuts was when a character set aside a batch of PASTA DOUGH 'to rise' #pasta doesn't have yeast!! #it does need to REST but it will never RISE #you do not want an airy crumb on your noodles
lovesodeepandwideandwell: #THE ONE WHERE THEY MADE COOKIES BY LADLING BATTER INTO A TRAY
Some other topics:
it's not mentioned in the song but in the corner of the piano man bar there is a mouse hole and inside that hole is a smaller replica of the bar staffed and patronized by mice who perfectly mirror all of the characters and they all say squeak us a song you're the piano mouse and mouse what are you doing here while they put cheese in his tiny jar
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd scurries in
There's an old mouse sittin' next to me
Makin' love to his piece of Stilton
He says, "Pup, can you play me a memory?
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet, and I knew it complete
When I had more fur on my nose"
La, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum
Squeak us a song, you're the piano mouse
Sing us to where we belong
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us squeakin' along
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And his jokes are a breeze, and he'll grill you a cheese
But there's some place that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As a smile ran away from his face
"Well, I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum
Now Paul is a cheese-monger realist
Who never had want for a wife
Cause he's talkin' with Davy, the rat in the navy
They're having the time of their life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get cheesed
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than sharing your fleas
Squeak us a song, you're the piano mouse
Sing us to where we belong
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us squeakin' along
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about cats for a while
And the piano, it sounds like a carnival
And they are all lending their ears
And they sit at the bar and put cheese in my jar
And say, "Mouse, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la, la-la, di-di-da
La-la, di-di-da, da-dum
Squeak us a song, you're the piano mouse
Sing us to where we belong
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us squeakin' along
