Tweet of the Day, The Relevant Spider Robinson Story Is Called ‘Melancholy Elephants*’ edition.

This, but sort of for real?

Good news for my adaptation of The Great Gatsby, in which Nick is a ninja fighting bootlegging dinosaurs with the aid of his best friend and astronaut Jay. https://t.co/W71knn6bWe

Frankly, the current public domain line should be 1971 (50 years). Or 1991 (30). You could make an argument that it should be 2001 (20). It should not be ‘forever minus one day,’ and it was a cheery note in a long night when the person who uttered that inane suggestion suddenly had to find a different line of work.

But I digress. At least we’ve got 1925 to work with, now. With any luck at all I’ll be able to draw from everything from WWII before I die.
