Yup, probably all people cared about in that article. Just saving people time. No need to be a little bitch about it

Gkids indicated that it would give “The Boy and the Heron” a North American theatrical release “later this year.”

I'll have to look into that. I've always liked the idea of Grammarly, but it seemed like I was basically downloading a keylogger, which seemed... unwise, lol.

Is it just because of some ad-blocker I have, or does specll checking not work in Lemmy?

If it's the latter, I'd love that addition for our clusmsier counterparts.

Same. It's really struck me both how little I miss it and how much I like the communities here. There's a much friendlier vibe.

And for the most part, aside from the bullshit threads where it's encouraged and expected, the comments are a lot more 'high-effort,' which is nice. That's something that I would expect to tend to naturally go down with the lowest common denominator as user count increases, but we'll see.

That's quite beautiful. They are, "each the other’s world entire." Although, I hope you say, "I love you" a bit more than pops did in The Road, lol.

Do you mean that it helped you cope with the flipside of joy and fear that comes with having a child?

I highly encourage it! I'm going to read All the Pretty Horses after hearing this news. Remember these final days before you meet one of the greatest literary characters I've ever encountered: The Judge.

Warning: It's a difficult book. Thankfully, I read it with a class that kept me honest. Don't feel any shame if you want to use something like LitCharts. You can use it without paying. That's how I am, at least. When I try reading a dense classic and it turns into a slog, if I get frustrated I'll just fall off.

However, I think its themes are important today and the questions it asks of the reader can lead to some serious growth and reflection.

I feel the same.

I do like the microblogging platform for dumb chatter and quck updates (like new music coming out, for example). But in general, I much prefer threaded comment trees.

Same. I'm trying to decide what I like more.

Part of me thinks I'd prefer to have two seperate accounts - one here, one on Mastodon.

They'll get there. The cool thing about this system is - from what I understand - since it's not top-down, nobody has to approve people working on something.

Relative to lifespan, I would assume that would mean someone will take it upon themselves and will make it a lot sooner than if permission to even start working on a solution had to be approved via 6 months of meetings.

Oh, you're right. I haven't used that since I was on the team at Pied Piper!

He was my favorite living author. Blood Meridian is a modern masterpiece. I think it will stand the test of time and will be read for generations, more so than some of his other work. I think his entire collection is wonderful, but I think that one in particular will still be read 100 years from now (if there is a ‘we’ to be reading thing 100 years from now).

Either way, you will be missed and thank you for staying with it even when you were destitute.

I’m so thankful he didn’t become posthumously famous but instead passed away being viewed as a modern master.
