When Wallace Shawn first read the script for "The Princess Bride," he paused over a single word that would later define his character, Vizzini. The line simply read: “Inconceivable!” with no instruction on delivery or emphasis. In an interview with "Entertainment Weekly," Shawn recalled sitting alone in his apartment, repeating the word again and again into a tape recorder. He felt that a straightforward reading would flatten Vizzini’s absurd confidence. He wanted to infuse the exclamation with a rhythm that matched the character’s inflated sense of superiority.
He began experimenting with dozens of pronunciations, from a drawn-out lament to a quick bark. Finally, he settled on a clipped, high-pitched version that turned the word into a sneering challenge. He explained that he aimed to create the impression Vizzini believed he was the only intelligent person in any conversation. Shawn described this process as a kind of “private laboratory,” where he tried to craft something that sounded musical and sharp without losing the comedic edge.
During the filming of "The Princess Bride" in 1987, he quickly learned his instincts had struck a chord. Mandy Patinkin and Cary Elwes often repeated “Inconceivable!” in the same singsong tone during breaks. At first, Shawn worried they were mocking him. He admitted in a conversation with the "New York Times" that he would return to his trailer feeling uneasy about whether the cast respected his performance. However, Patinkin later assured him they repeated the word because it had become an instant favorite.
Shawn also revealed that the director, Rob Reiner, encouraged him to keep pushing the exaggeration further. Reiner wanted Vizzini to feel like a man so certain of his brilliance that even obvious contradictions never shook his faith in his own conclusions. Shawn credited this encouragement for giving him the freedom to take the line to its most ridiculous extreme.
During one of the early table reads, Reiner had asked Shawn to deliver the line in as many different ways as possible, just to hear how far they could stretch its comedic potential. Shawn later shared with "Variety" that this exercise led to some hilariously overblown attempts, including one where he nearly lost his voice from shouting “Inconceivable!” across the rehearsal hall. Though many of these takes never made it to set, they helped him discover the precise delivery that would define Vizzini’s character.
Cast members were not the only ones fascinated by Shawn’s performance. Crew members began joking that no one could pronounce the word the same way twice once they had heard his version. During an interview with "The A.V. Club," Cary Elwes remembered that whenever Shawn stepped into a scene, everyone braced themselves for the moment he would declare something “Inconceivable!” and break the tension with laughter.
Shawn found the attention both flattering and bewildering. He said he never imagined a single word could eclipse everything else he had done in the film. Yet over time, he accepted that it was this very fixation that proved how effective the choice had been.
He also shared that he kept a small notebook from that period where he wrote different ways to say the word, each one labeled with a description like “arrogant,” “smug,” or “singing.” That notebook remains one of his favorite mementos from the production, a record of the painstaking, almost obsessive process of turning a simple line into a cultural phenomenon.
He explained that even decades later, strangers would approach him with wide grins and deliver their own interpretations of “Inconceivable!” Some would lean in close, lowering their voices to a conspiratorial whisper, while others would shout it across a crowded street. Shawn often responded by nodding appreciatively and thinking back to those early days in his apartment, alone with his tape recorder, determined to find the version that would sound just right.
Shawn’s careful crafting of Vizzini’s signature cry proves that even a single word can become unforgettable when an actor is willing to explore every possibility until the perfect sound emerges.
“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”
Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.
“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”
Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.
“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”
You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?
One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.
The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.
And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.
And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.

while i hope the AI boom dies out i also hope we start acknowledging data center water overconsumption as it's own unique issue because like. it's not AI itself that harms the environment it's the hardware hosting it, right? same reason nfts and cryptocurrency were also bad for the environment. the root problem isn't going away so long as we allow big companies to continue hitching their wagon to the next big tech trend. i worry if they don't get stronger regulation we'll just be repeating the same issue whenever the next toy comes along.
We need to lay more blame for "Kids don't know how computers work" at the feet of the people responsible: Google.
Google set out about a decade ago to push their (relatively unpopular) chromebooks by supplying them below-cost to schools for students, explicitly marketing them as being easy to restrict to certain activities, and in the offing, kids have now grown up in walled gardens, on glorified tablets that are designed to monetize and restrict every movement to maximize profit for one of the biggest companies in the world.
Tech literacy didn't mysteriously vanish, it was fucking murdered for profit.
the mobile phone museum is a online museum featuring over 2000 types of old and funky phones that’s amazing for seeing old phones and getting info about them for stuff like writing/art or just because they’re so cool and i love them look at them

This has been my main argument against "AI" from the very beginning.
OpenAI scraped the entire web. All of which had been a labor of love from humans. Wikipedia is the backbone of a lot of LLMs, and that was volunteer human labor. They stole it and now they're selling it back to us.
And worse, they're trying to destroy the free sources that they stole from. It's destruction of human knowledge on an unprecedented scale. The burning of the library of Alexandria has nothing on this.

I know it’s not July yet, but guys, happy 10 years of “two cakes”. This post on god has been a godsend not only as a writer myself but as a friend of artists and writers who I love to encourage. This was legitimately a game-changer.
OP thank you so much for this.
