LOVE IS STORED IN THE CHRISTMAS CARD

they should invent a modern facade that isn’t ugly

yaoi everywhere for those with eyes to see

Mostly is an extremely emotionally intelligent and empathetic cat. he knows when you’re sick or depressed or need to pet a cat. that being said. it’s extremely funny that he perfectly understands human emotions and chooses, every day, to be the biggest jerk that ever lived

me (foolish) i’ve been struggling with chapter 7 forever. i don’t know what to do with it. it’s been like 2 weeks. genuinely what do i do my agent (extremely wise): have you tried just skipping it me:

LET’S go

get the RAW TRUTH that the MAINSTREAM MEDIA doesn’t want YOU to know about the BERMUDA TRIANGLE and UNDERPLATED BATHYMETRIC SWELLS OF MODIFIED LITHOSPHERIC MANTLE

I agree with this entire thread. I am deeply disappointed by @sfwa.org 's decision, especially considering how many of its members (including me) had our work stolen for the creation of that generative AI. There is NO way anyone should be eligible for a Nebula without doing ALL the writing themself.

I'm so disappointed in @sfwa.org for this. I understand that by requiring disclosure of partial LLM-created works, as their announcement states, means SFWA's letting "nominators and the voters" make the final decision. BUT YOU'RE STILL ALLOWING SUCH WORKS ON THE NEBULA AWARDS FINAL BALLOT! 1/

love to receive an email from the Nebulas saying AI slop will be allowed as long as it’s not 100% slop and labeled as such… SFWA are you literate because you definitely can’t read a room

palpable sense of relief at the bookstore i treat as my office as the bookseller produces a dozen copies of HEATED RIVALRY from the mail

having found sugars in the asteroid, the academic naturally asks herself, “how many cups of tea could I sweeten with it?”

does the star trek transporter kill you? depends on how lightly you take the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle

the real question is this: how many sweaters could you make out of your body’s DNA?

an X-class solar flare is going to cause a potential G4 event (NOAA): - unplug or surge-protect electronics - prepare for power disruptions (unlikely as of now) - follow space weather at swpc.noaa.gov

humbling to learn as i do these copyedits that i apparently have a toddler-level understanding of when to use “which” vs “that”

An excellent deconstruction of Avi Loeb’s embarrassing nonsense. 🔭 sites.psu.edu/astrowright/...
