Right on - welcome to the 13th Floor! I'm listening through now - you chose perfect imagery to go along with the tale, and have an excellent storyteller's voice. I wanted to mention that we're more than open to self-promotion here, and wanted add the link to your site from the video:

https://inkican.com/braintacos-science-fiction-audio-books-and-short-stories/

In fact - you've got tons of fine tools and stories there - if you feel like posting up your site on its own thread, please feel free to do so - its great to have your work here!

I see you found the Camden entrance - nice work! Careful though, the staircase past that door leads up over the domain of Madness, and you may be taken more than one step beyond.

The Historic Writers Strike Will Soon Be Over (www.huffpost.com)

Nearly five months after thousands of film and TV writers went on strike over more equitable pay and working conditions in the streaming era, effectively shutting down the entertainment industry, Hollywood studio and streaming executives at long last have reached a tentative deal with the Writers Guild of America, East and West....

@momo Now this is stuck in my head

@momo I don't care if you're the real Momo or not - you're now officially my favorite Momo.

Expanding on the Cherry Bomb concept, I would pay serious money to see you do a cover of Infected Mushroom's Artillery - done in the style of your particular style of brilliant genius, of course.

@momo Production is tight, as are your lyrics - I don't think you need any help from rappers - got enough talent to spare. Found the poetry too:

Pour oil into your dry heart uh
Made to be fire, overheated atmosphere ayy
I'm too ill, everyone knows this
The temperature that swallowed the sun don’t you forget it
Armageddon when I get it, make the world shake
Is this your first time? A character like this I'm a rare case
Run the city all night like the mayor, ayy
Too fly, get you out of my airspace

The slow beat and the bass is solid - gives you the range to play with those angelic vocals, but the spot above is where the soul is - both in the music and the performance. I'm beginning to think the three of you are best when you're bad and let that fire out. Plus, it's clear that you've got the skills to play with a faster beat - as that link @ 2:00 minutes proves.

@momo True that. Brings to mind this quote:

Every day, women and girls are finding incredible confidence and taking risks. When they change one mind, pretty soon, they have changed one tradition. That changed tradition has changed a village. That one village has changed a country. That new reality means new opportunities for themselves and their daughters.

This is what the three of you have done for millions - even from a thousand miles away I can see the change it's brought not just to your country, but to the world. The risks you take in expressing your power and truth bring the strength and faith to your audience that they need to face a world on fire.

Also, wanted to say, I drew out the lyrics and moment above not because they're sexy/sensual (your whole video has that in spades - y'all got that down pat), but because that's where the soul power is, and that's what I meant by being bad - ala George Thoroughgood - like him, I think y'all got the the presence and chops to absolutely thrash when you kick loose.

Plus y'all sing a lot better than old Georgie... ;)

@jeaton Your profile pic absolutely demanded I send this to you, but that might just be the soup talking.

[News - Colorado] Judge overseeing case to remove Trump from ballot agrees to order banning threats and intimidation (apnews.com)

DENVER (AP) — The Colorado judge overseeing the first significant lawsuit to bar former President Donald Trump from the state’s 2024 presidential ballot on Friday issued a protective order prohibiting threats and intimidation in the case, saying the safety of those involved — including herself and her staff — was...

It is incredibly frustrating that the only thing more stupid than Patreon is all the alleged Patreon substitutes that clearly don't even understand what Patreon does.

Pro tip: Patreon has no meaningful competitors, and also it sucks, so there's a huge opportunity for somebody to kick sand in its face and take its lunch money. But to do that you would have to understand what actually Patreon does that is worth it to creators to allow Patreon to take 5% of their proceeds (and then pass on to them a second 5% in payment processing fees).

@siderea This is an epic post, well written with excellent points - it's quite informative to get an inside view of how Patreon has been treating its content creators, and where you feel it's failed. The shortform Mastodon format doesn't do your work justice. Have you posted it other spots in its entirety yet? I'd like to see it posted it as a thread on the @13thFloor - I think it brings up great discussion points for content creators everywhere.

"It's the content, stupid." - Quick Notes to Supercharge K.Bin

Like you, I'm a passionate user of K.Bin but lately, I'm noticing that things are getting kinda stale around here. The most recent thread in this, the top-level magazine on K.Bin, is 4 days old. Many other top 25 magazines are also suffering from a similar lack of fresh content. I run /m/scifi and it's been continuing to grow...

For those having issues with the aforementioned downvote trolls, @some_guy and @YourContentSucks kindly showed up to illustrate the problem. These two accounts are accompanied by a third, @cre0 -all the same user. If you're pre-emptively looking to protect your users from downvote spam, keep these accounts out of your magazines - he likes to try to dox folks. This is his theme song.

@momo This is a frequent misquote. Poe wasn't in a good state when my grandad's godfather tried to cheer him up. It's actually "Evermore", as in the Battle of Evermore. That tune has been rockin' the woodlands since the bards began to sing, so if you're hearing a raven squawk that at you, that means the Morrigan is looking to rock out and has sent you a request via corvid.
