I named my fists "Dunning" and "Kruger" because I haven't trained in any sort of martial art but am confident I would do pretty well.

If you're nominating for the Hugos, I just want to point out that Lee Harris is my editor for both Witch King and Queen Demon, the recent reprints of my earlier books, and of all the Murderbot Diaries, from the time he bought All Systems Red for Tordotcom in 2016!

Kind of an awkward PSA because I've had some artist mutuals recommend these sites/tools, but "ai image detection" tools are snake oil, and I feel like nobody bothered to scrutinize them. So I opened photoshop cs6, drew a smiley face, and uploaded it to the "accurate" detector:

I understand Americans are upset about the Washington Post - but their new smaller newsroom will have about the same number of editorial as all of Postmedia's 130 print and digital news titles combination. Canadians slept through this consolidation, foreign ownership, gutting.

A lot of people cannot just start a paid newsletter or become freelancers to sustain their careers. The sports, metro, and international desks did work that requires *team* resources, like legal checks, documents, access to archives, and long-term beat experience.

The shit part about most animation in America is that we keep making animators who are so goddamn passionate and skilled yet we force them to do other things because outsourcing is cheap and exploitative as all hell.

Please, PLEASE remember this. 1. Animation is NOT a genre of media. Animated films/tv can be categorized as any genre, be it horror, sci-fi, family friendly, etc. 2. Animation IS a medium. It is a series of sequential images (hand-drawn, CGI, clay, etc.) that create the illusion of movement.

It's fascinating how much the right has monopolized the narrative of people getting "canceled." There are actually plenty of high-profile creatives that the alt-right has driven off of projects and IPs. The thing is, they don't disappear bc they have actual talent.

This story is a good reminder that when a journalist emails questions, they're not conducting an interview, they're just soliciting a customized press release. Every "answer" screams for an unasked follow-up question.

I have done well as as a storyboard artist because Iām a good writer. There are plenty of people who can out-draw and out-animate me, but I know a little bit about a lot of stuff, and am good at identifying theme, character, drama, and tone to focus a scene.
