I’m kinda irked by the cover photo on 52nd Street. Is Billy Joel tryna make us think he played that trumpet solo in “Zanzibar”? Frickin’ stolen valor, man.

Age verification? I saw The Road Warrior on opening day.

Has anyone encountered an example of ‘AI’ software that was actually suitable for release to production? Even the ‘best’ outputs I’ve seen have been beta test level material.

ICYMI: In last week's page of Weird Luck, Smiley finally explains himself. Coming later this week (9pm Wednesday, Pacific Time): the return of Bianca! #webcomics #comics #indiecomics #urbanfantasy #fantasy #scifi #oc #espionage #crime #interdimensional #weird weirdluck.net/comic/2-1-4-...

never felt satisfied with the answers to “what are the best things in life” in Conan the Barbarian (1982) but wasn’t quite sure what I’d counter with till now

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

Far out! I frickin’ love this book, I like Harbour same as most folks, and I’m especially fond of Hall’s performance in The Awakening (2011).

So many of these people are going to have to be buried in secret graves, even if they die decades from now.

Share your #OC boundaries 🖌️Fanart? Yes! Will share on the Weird Luck site eventually if I like it. 💞Shipping? Sure, I'm curious! 🖋️Fanfiction? Would love to read it! ♊️Draw their OCs with yours? Yes! Would love to see & share! 🔞NSFW? Sure. This I gotta see. 🤖AI? Never. weirdluck.net

There are about 40 living members of Bianca's species. They all hate each other; one of their species traits is an intense territorial instinct that makes them unable to tolerate the presence of their own kind. #webcomics #comics #oc #aliens #monsters #fantasy #scifi #worldbuilding weirdluck.net

You can also meet some *much* less friendly members of her species in my book WALLFLOWER ASSASSIN autonomous-press.myshopify.com/products/wal...

If you're a writer, and your editor sends you a document marked up with a set of requested Final Changes, don't send them a document that includes other untracked changes, ffs.

Fixed it for you 🖤

“Re: Einstein on Science”

Timeline cleanse. Teenage crush?

When people use “virtue signaling” as an insult, by doing so they themselves are virtue signaling 100% of the time. That’s the sole function of using that term in public.

"Remembering the Holocaust does not mean waiting for gas chambers before we speak. It means recognizing how ordinary policies - immigration bans, detention regimes, and mass deportations - prepare the ground for mass violence." www.jpost.com/opinion/arti...

"these anarchist interlopers are making things more dangerous" — these "anarchist interlopers" are the ones who pioneered and passed along all the tactics you are currently employing to defend your neighbors

I see a fair number of writers make pronouncements based basically on how they feel about their career that week, whether it's going well or in the tank. There's nothing strategic or necessarily accurate about such expressions and they don't much help beginning writers parse info from bullshit.

Page 4 of ANSWERS, the current chapter of the Weird Luck webcomic, goes live tomorrow night (Pacific Time). Have you read the first 3 pages? #webcomics #comics #indiecomics #urbanfantasy #fantasy #scifi #oc #espionage #crime #monsters #aliens #interdimensional #weird weirdluck.net/comic/2-1-1-...

It’s an absurd and obvious mistake in retrospect, but I was actually surprised when I learned that the libertarian-to-goosestepper pipeline was a greased metal slide a hundred yards wide. It was an important piece of education about the sturdiness of white supremacist worldviews.

Woke up with this song in my head today. Loverboy, “Lucky Ones,” Get Lucky (1981) youtu.be/XHTfoEqze1g

basic reminder of my politics:

hard to imagine a more perfect match. I thought this was an Onion headline

#OtD 6 Feb 2003 Washington Post published this article saying that it was "irrefutable" Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and was working with Al-Qaeda to acquire chemical weapons and attack Europe. Worth remembering with furore about fake news stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1061...

it’s the unquestioned premise behind “why would you harass a wild predator” for me

motherfuckers arguing nitpicky details as if the entire endeavor wasn’t completely illegitimate goddamn it, it doesn’t matter if someone did the hokey pokey right or not, fuck the border in the first place & fuck everyone connected to enforcing it. stop accepting the Man’s rhetorical frameworks

Ever wake up with a song in your head? This was mine today. The Cars, "Cruiser," Shake it Up (1981) www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqoB...

Five concerts you’ve seen with women lead singers: Ludicra L7 Suzanne Vega Choking Game Ani di Franco

Introduce yourself with five concerts you’ve seen. #MusicSky Hmm, too many. I’ll limit myself to musicians I’ve seen more than once: Ramones Crash Worship King Crimson High on Fire Spin Doctors

#OtD 20 Jan 1934 Nazi Germany introduced a law designating capitalists as "fuhrers" of their enterprise and requiring "employees and labourers [to] owe him faithfulness". Along with other measures it helped funnel income from workers to big business stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9269...
