PARTY LITTÉRAIRE LIVRE AND LET LIVRE (Édition scénario!) Event in Montreal, QC by Livre And Let Livre and Sylvain Neuvel on Tuesday, March 31 2026

Le 31 mars, on passe de la page à l’écran. On discute de scénarisation et d’adaptation avec le scénariste/producteur/réalisateur, etc. Martin Villeneuve ainsi que le producteur et scénariste Marc Lapointe. Comme d’habitude, il y aura des jeux, un quiz et de la bonne bière des Sans-Taverne.

I couldn't see them. We went for drinks and then she took me back so I could give it another shot. I was touched. It took maybe 4 years for us to become a couple. We were together for another 4. I'm skipping over a whole lot of shit here, but the point is. I STILL CAN'T SEE FUCKING STEREOGRAMS.

35 years ago, give or take, I met a girl when I walked in the wrong bathroom in Venezuela. I ran on the tarmac at the airport for her number. Later, we met in Ottawa, where she lived, and we went to a place that sold stereograms, weird pictures that change when you look at them a special way. 1/2

I kept getting messages from "Neuvel" folks in Holland on ICQ and explaining to them we weren't related. There was a "draw" options in Yahoo chat rooms, so you could be alone with whoever and draw ugly shit while chatting. There were multiple rooms called Die Wesley Crusher (with various # of DIE)

There was a time where i would have had some words, but at this point.... Just let her rip.

Kitty is cute! Don't worry, Clarence, it'll grow back.

With a really cool ball-grenade thingy. Ball grenade is a 30% coolness boost right there.

I think the appeal is he was cool and badass and nothing else. He didn't come with a story, you hade to make it up in your head. Nothing competes with what we make up in our heads, as demonstrated in a plenty failed relationships.

OK so it's really not the last one, but, as an author, I've never laughed as much as I did watching @jomawest.bsky.social fuck with us over and over again in FACE. That book is a master class in exploiting tropes and reader expectations. It should be required reading.

Well, I think it's a wake-up call. for all parents. Can your kid mop high-efficiency? If not, who's to blame?

Whoa. I'll chip in fo all the Fraggle Rock cat environments.

That is true. Deleting AI crap is a morning ritual now and the concept of deleting a REAL thing along the way doesn't really register anymore. If I don't know your name...

I'm going to bed at midnight. Anyone with questions? Cat pics also work.

Did you know that 10,000 physical copies of THE MANY is enough to build a small 20'x20' house (no roof, sorry) with walls that are 6" thick. Just saying.

We're gonna need a lot of sales :)

If enough people preorder THE MANY, I'll put the money towards a necromancer and try to bring Bowie and/or Carrie Fisher back to life so we can maybe get the universe back on track. Also, kittens.

Cognitive dissonance is now just getting up in the morning and not just curling backing into a ball....

I released book 1 of a trilogy when bookstores were closed or on appointment with a mask. I have a book out in April and world war III feels like an improvement...

Today was oh fuck war, take my kid to the airport for his humanitarian trip, visit my father in the hospital, deal with a government inquiry, work on screenplay for an hour, friend's birthday karaoke, then it's now and I guess the book will wait. Seriously, the universe is fucked up.

Same

I think he's an everything calculator. I suppose I prefer this to the performative "We're totally against this war in which our planes are dropping bombs right now" we've seen before...

So many things, but a quarter cup is about 50% more than 40 ml, not less

Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon | CNN Business Anthropic, a company founded by OpenAI exiles worried about the dangers of AI, is loosening its core safety principle in response to competition.

I was totally holding my breath to see if the company based on stealing everything would stick to its "principles".

It was really good. Sad no one else will discover it.

That is a very valid point. I can only offer vague Rioja-induced criticisms but I can say the experience left me unharmed…

I opened one too many bottles of wine once and watched Madame Web. It was… a Rioja if I remember correctly.
