Only one more day now. 87% off the regular price. My #spicy #scifi novel Alien Exploration is usually $4.99, so this is a great deal! 💙📚📦🚀

Something isn't adding up here. 39% off of 26.98 should be roughly 16.46...but when I look at the actual pages for these games, it displays the original price as 24.98. Maybe they fudged their original prices just to hit the ha ha not funny number on sale, and Steam's search hasn't caught up yet.

It's normally somewhat amusing (to me, at least) when people get baited by good satire. When, however, you know the pro-genAI crowd is going to use it as evidence of general ignorance in order to support what they're pushing, it suddenly becomes a whole lot less funny.

It's official: nobody can ever criticize idiosyncratic levels of technology in fantasy or other speculative fiction ever again. Why? Because the Neanderthals invented dentistry. (And knew how to perform root canals to boot.) journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

So, Bloomberg...when are you going to take the hint?

I am a proud author of lesbian sci-fi/fantasy nonsense. Read my big gay fun books.

You know, I think there's a term for a business model based around the adage "a fool and his money are soon parted".

Thinking a certain activist lawyer YouTuber needs to change their channel and brand name to LegalDodo. You know, since taking a genAI sponsorship means they're going to be dead to a lot of people.

Some of the questions I get on Royal Road just straight-up have to be answered with "Read and you will find out." One of the genuinely infuriating things is when someone stops reading and drops a crap review complaining about X being unnecessary, when if they'd read for two more chapters...

Do you need something to listen to, #booksky? How about a collection of interconnected super-powered shorts? I have codes for The Dark Side of Super's audio book. I'm looking to find them listeners. All I ask is you give it a listen and maybe leave a review. Redeemable on audiobooks(dot)com!

Kickstarter officially banning adult content now. Knew this was coming, but it still sucks to have yet another part of the internet that I've been explicitly evicted from. Digital gentrification is exhausting.

When you stake your career on a future the majority of the following generation rejects, it might be a good time to rethink your career. Just saying.

Well, we found the real Roko's basilisk, everyone. Good job.

I guess now we know the Fayette County water system director needed to be fired yesterday.

It's fairly well established at this point that Clayton Kershaw is a known homophobe who used his position as franchise ace for the Los Angeles Dodgers to push time and time again against the organization and fanbase holding Pride celebrations. The following thread is about Bobby Cox.

You ever have a day where you just feel nostalgic for a piece of lost media? That's me today, sorely missing What Birds Know. One of the greatest webcomics I've ever read, and it's only available on the Wayback Machine (and IIRC, even that's not a full archive). web.archive.org/web/20210511...

As always, today is a good day to support artists, writers, creators. If you have the means, maybe consider signing up for a Patreon. Buy a book, a game, a painting. Commission a new piece. Tell a creator what they mean to you. Signal boost their work.

Rest in peace to a complicated man, who left his fingerprints on so much of modern media. I would not be the baseball fan I am without having being exposed to the Braves as a kid through TBS. Never forget: "The power is yours." www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
