He who flows

Sometimes I wonder if our many years of jokes about writers hating writing and doing anything but writing, etc, have convinced people that the writing part is the hurdle and the goal is just to have a thing in hand. But I am here to tell you: the writing is the best part. The act is the thing.

HEAD'S UP FELLOW #CREATIVES! If you haven't heard, #Grammarly is changing...and one change that doesn't pass the smell test is the incorporation of the ocean-boiling plagiarism machine that is #AI. 😒 I'm ditching Grammarly TONIGHT. #Writing #Writers #NoAI www.grammarly.com/blog/company...

He, he... he should see the responses to Kash Patel tweeting about Diwali.

He chased his dreams so hard that his dreams got a restraining order against him.

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Female lizards can have sex with multiple males and choose not to get pregnant. They can even keep the sperm viable inside their bodies for years and choose to get pregnant later. Take that humans!

The rapture never came. The crapture is ongoing.

Someone gave my psychotic stalker an invite to Sora and he’s already making AI videos of me. Thankful that Sora has the option to block and delete unapproved content with my image. This is a dangerous man who runs hundreds (yes hundreds) of accounts dedicated to me.

Conan and Punisher are my favourite superheroes. I've heard they've got an entire comic dedicated to the two of them walking some strange land together, so now I'm going to find the comic, and I'm going to read it, and I'm going to like it. #conan #punisher #marvelcomics

Could someone explain to all male authors that if a woman has her arms crossed there really is no, repeat no, need to specify that this is "under her breasts"

I am begging you, if you want anyone to read your emails, keep them short. Or at least, don't make them long. If I have to do more than one pg down, I'm not reading it. I don't care if it's from the Queen of Gondwanaland. More words doesn't necessarily mean more 'communication'.

The glass invasion

Legends about the 'chosen one' seem to be an appreciation of the one who has been chosen. What they really are is a way to legitimise the system that does the choosing. Once people accept that system as a deciding authority, it wields more power than any single leader. Focus on fighting systems.

Those who feed on corpses are nobody's friend. The only reason they are with you is that they are waiting for you to die.

It’s astounding (or perhaps not) how many of the things Trump is doing in US right now seem directly lifted from the India playbook. Weaponising institutions against minorities, declaring opposition terrorists, controlling and punishing media. It all smells like Modi.

A UN commission says it's genocide. A few weeks ago, the International Association of Genocide Scholars said it's genocide (and they would know). So, if you're still uncomfortable saying it's genocide, what are you waiting for? apnews.com/article/isra...

In actual fact, nature wants to kill you and take your energy back into the ecosystem. But don't worry. It's not just you. Nature wants to kill everything almost as soon as it births them. Nature just wants to keep energy moving, so there's no pint getting misty-eyed about the dewy moors.

Happy 40th anniversary to "Thundercats". Opening animated by Masayuki (who was only 22 years old at the time).

I was next to (one of) the AI slop booths at DragonCon and all I got was this lousy t-shirt. So, as you may or may not know, there was a booth selling AI slop images printed on acrylic panels at DragonCon. They were in booth a-10. I was in a-11. Here’s what happened from my perspective.

To gauge how it’s “working,” one would have to be clear on what the actual work is, which is not helping to educate children but rather to imbed these systems in a way that they cannot be removed, establish them as a source of truth, and destabilize labor.

Ahh, the discourse. Someone just said human (writers) don't pad, therefore it's a sign of AI. Sweet summer child of mine...

Excited to jump into this.

Anthropic will start training its AI models on chat transcripts www.theverge.com/anthropic/76... This should be great news for those who are using AI chatbots "to write". Prepare to have your ideas suggested to others doing the same.
