I wonder how many politicians will get shot in Utah before the feds invade.

Ok I don't know what "sprayed edges" means. Is that the same as "filing off the serial numbers"? And I was saying that any author who has an issue with people being inspired by their works is a conceited idiot.

The shot heard 'round the world.

I must make the following assertion—LLM's are copying em-dashes from me.

A thought: RFK! RFK! How many kids did you kill today?

All right, everyone. Send these people your sexybooks. Ask them to rate each book. Use the resulting condemnations for ad copy. (I doubt I have the facility to poke the bear and not get bitten.) www.ratedbooks.org

AI is like a Juicero. An overpriced, overengineered solution to a problem no one has.

"I used AI to analyze <X> and found <Y>." I'll go first. "I used AI to analyze the cat box and found poop."

Anyone else who read the Chronicles of Narnia when they were a kid remember when the Calormen started yelling "Tash! Tash! Tash!" and feel like they're watching the Republican party do the same thing?

@denbelblack.bsky.social‬ Where do you go on the net for dry, factual information about the current hot military conflicts? The dry, soothing litany of model numbers and similar abstracts will help me cope.

About four years ago, Twitter was full of ex-military advising Ukraine civilians on the effectiveness of adding styrofoam to moltov cocktails. The feds invaded LA. I'm going to be awake at 3am thinking about how this could get worse.

I'm reposting this link, because it was pointed out to me that as the chapter is not very spicy, it should be OK to make it publicly available rather than putting it behind the paywall. The rest is...very spicy and paywalled. Queer, spicy with near-human characters. www.patreon.com/posts/p1-wel...

The Descent of Inanna is one of the oldest stories our species ever composed. I re-read the tale often when writing fantasy books. Modern interpretations often get some important details wrong. Here's an excellent explication. www.worldhistory.org/article/215/...

The difference between fantasy and romantasy: Fantasy readers want to know why there is chocolate in their fantasy world. They want to know where the beans are grown and how they are safely transported to a boreal clime. Romantasy fans just want chocolate in their books.

You know how search engines all give you AI summaries up top? They don't if you add the word "fucking" to your search. Try it.

The most satisfying thing I've seen all week!

Does anyone else think the high-pitched noise made by electric vehicles sounds like the wail of damned souls in torment? Whose idea was this?

Somebody apparently has promised to find the cause of the autism epidemic. Cause/effect can be messy; direct human experiments are unethical. Genes and environment are intertwined. But even given those limitations, the cause has been known for some time. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29460795/

Today I had one of those migraines, so I decided to self-soothe by balling sock yarn. It didn't go that well, but I won eventually.
