Quite literally the best piece of advice you will ever get about comics, aside from marrying someone wealthy

When you're a creator, your successes vanish but your failures linger forever.

You deserve someone who defends you the way Truffle protects his sleeping brother. #petRats #rats

Terry Pratchett bears witness at the American Visionary Art Museum.

HOLY SHIT. This entire thread is fucking wild.

I am an extremely angry man. • Basic education should not be a luxury good. • Health care should not be a luxury good. • Your teeth should not be a luxury good. • Child care should not be a luxury good. • Potable water SHOULD NOT BE A FUCKING LUXURY GOOD.

Fresh new American dystopia headline just dropped www.thegamer.com/grammacracke...

“I built the forms around him just yesterday afternoon when he fell asleep, and by early evening I was able to mix and pour.”

I have said many times that I have over three feet of Dick. Turns out it's only thirty-four inches. I apologize to all the people I have disappointed.

yes, when a post goes viral I delete it. "omg, you've noticed me? noooo!"

She Who Must Be Obeyed took a bunch of photos of me, trying to get one that's right for a passport. Losing weight has made shifted my look from "possible psychopath" to "several felonies, goat abuser, probably a Trump fan." Best if i skip the passport and never leave the house again.

"Here's how we keep AGI from wiping out humanity--" Listen buddy I'm sure your Call of C'thulu game is a great time for you and your pals but the rest of us don't need the rundown of the sick combo you're setting up to take out c'thulu.

A thing I really wish mainstream media would understand about AGI is that it's a play by post for absolute dweebs. If someone is talking to you about what AGI will do to/for humanity: that is a dweeb telling you about their GURPS campaign. It isn't news because it isn't real.

If you see this, post your getaway vehicle.

Influencers are "Look at me!" Authors are "Look at me! But I'm gonna make it a riddle for you."

If you needed evidence that spammy clankers have no comprehension, here's today's author promo spam: 'the current marketing funnel lacks a high-fidelity cinematic "hook" to instantly establish that "70s Outrageous Sci-Fi" authority.'

When management makes unfair demands, what sentences and phrases are statistically likely to follow? futurism.com/artificial-i...

I would tag individuals, but I apparently have 88(!) mutuals currently following him, and that’s a bit much to be telling people one by one. If you were a fan before you found out he was a rapist, go check if you’re still listed as a follower. Even if you’ve blocked him. Unblock, unfollow, reblock.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

good author, fighting cancer. Give him a hand and buy a couple books.

I am once again begging, praying, weeping for lists of written instructions rather than videos. I do not want to watch your two minute video in the hope of catching the two seconds where you whizz past what goddamn menu the thing is under. Write. It. Down.

Reminder that if you block someone on bsky, it doesn’t unfollow them for you. Your friends may not be truly following him (and you may not have spared yourself the wrath of people unfollowing anyone who appears to follow him). Unblock, unfollow, block. He’s a weasel.

Spending the evening bullying another author into fixing his damn web site so I can find the next book in his series. Yes, yes, pot kettle black.

Hey, fellow writers: Can you get on this? Or offer links/suggestions?

not sure this means she’s actually trained to do anything

Well, it happened. A client disregarded my advice about using generative AI and guess what? It gave them bad advice AND the judge ruled that by using it, Client waived confidentiality and ordered us to turn a bunch of private stuff over. STOP USING GENERATIVE AI FOR LEGAL THINGS. I BEG YOU.

This. Why haven't I written such-and-such book? When is whatsit coming out? Sometimes the answer is "The meatsuit failed." Occasionally, the answer is "Trump." Most often, though, the answer is right here.

Yes. All of this.

As a queer who grew up in the 90s, when it was completely normal to call everything you didn't like "gay," I'm begging y'all to push back on the use of homosexuality as an insult, even when it's leveled at people you hate. No, it's not more fitting because they're homophobic bigots. It's never cute.
