One of the truest things I’ve ever heard is that people who say they’re “brutally honest” are more interested in the brutality than the honesty.

I’m George RR Martin 

[mairzymarzipan]

growing up in maine us writers were of course always comparing ourselves to stephen king.  TURNS OUT HE’S FUCKING WRITER GEORG

[danieandflars]

“average writer writes 3 books a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes 1 book per year. Steven King, who lives in cave & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

[coelasquid]

My favourite quote from Steven King was something like “I am a salami writer. I try to make good salami, but salami is salami.”

I really do love that people have legitimately always just been people. Like how many angry breakup texts have their been that end with “Come get your stuff or I’m donating it to goodwill”? People never change.

Thanks, Now I have nightmares

[brunhiddensmusings]

this was long before cartoons were ever thought of as ‘for kids’, the target audience of this one was roughly 20-40 betty boop cartoons featuring cab calloway singing, yes, but slang has changed so much you dont realize he was singing about opium, sugar daddies, death, weed, sex, booze, and gambling back when gambling was nearly as tabboo as sex and drugs. ‘minnie the moocher’ where cab calloway is a dancing walrus is specifically about someone who does literally everything on that list but die

most of the animation studios had their ‘thing’ to make their animation stand out, disney had fluid motion linked with quality music, warner brothers had top notch dialogue with carefully crafted facial expressions, MGM had comedic timing down to the individual frame that no live action comedian could dream of achieving, terrytoons had the budget of a ham sandwitch and a fistfull of nickels fleischer studios however had authentic jazz and heavy toned subject matter, often crossing the line of what we think of as ‘cartoon violence’ into realistic

[peathefeary]

idk why this is making me so emotional???

I love this. I’ve always had a love for cartoons

So Jorf Bulbous has a 600 million dollar deal with the CIA and the WP has a long history of collaboration with intelligence agencies to push their agendas.

For those that aren’t aware. THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENS. A rich person buys up media outlets, and pushes biased, and misconstrued media reports and articles. Shaping public perception! This is how you manipulate the media and the people. Of course Bezos doesn’t want Bernie to be president! the man did not pay a cent towards 2018 taxes on his MULTI BILLION DOLLAR profit company ($11 billion in profit last year I believe) — and Bernie who understands the need for giant conglomerate corporations (like amazon) to pay their share towards the economy instead of taking and taking. That’s not even touching on the major collusion that will probably take place by getting in bed with government agencies like the CIA- Honestly shit like this should be illegal..
