A must read for writers. I'm seeing same thing Jason is seeing, in form of scammers' creation of online "readers' communities" populated with bots. AI adoption by foreign scammers has been expanding since 2023 but this year has really been a watershed. They're becoming impossible to keep up with.

Out now from @hollowoakpress.bsky.social the new anthology Short(b)Reads, featuring my new story "Table for One, Folly of Two" along with a dozen more fine tales to peruse--each one paired with a recipe from the story itself. Food for the mind, soul, & body! #shortstories #food #recipes #writing

Lol, Wolf spends all of six pages recounting his 16 years fronting the J. Geils Band and what he does say can be adequately summed up as "those guys were selfish assholes who threw a good thing away over inflated ego."

Lost count of the factual errors within this clumsily-written, badly edited book--pompous author interjects his ill-informed opinions at every opportunity. And Imelda Marcos comments without even the vaguest context of her larcenous rule? Just no. Skip this. archive.org/details/fabi... #beatles

Hearing your own music on vinyl for the first time via ElasticStage is a pretty satisfying experience, I'd recommend it elasticstage.com/aaronpoehler... #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #records #vinyladdict #nowspinning #vinylsky #musicsky

Rights grabs by any publisher are unforgivable and indefensible. The new owners of Analog (and the other former Dell mags) are showing their true nature, and it's ugly. locusmag.com/2025/07/subm... #Booksky #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writing

Delete your SoundCloud now. The fact that they snuck this in their TOS last year and didn't bother informing their users pretty much demonstrates bad intent in my book. #fuckAI #deletesoundcloud

Along with the big 3 SF/F mags, this group has also bought Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine. The single largest change in the short fiction landscape in decades, certainly--fingers crossed for good things.

This large bird looks displeased enough with my presence that I think I'll take a different route.

Verified this works in the US to remove the garbage AI Copilot features and lower the yearly cost of Office $30/yr--sign in, select cancel subscription, and choose the 'classic without AI' option. Totally ridiculous that M$ opts its customers into this utter ripoff. #microsoft #office #ms365 #word

Receiving word of my first short story acceptance of 2025 was a great way to start the week off--and my first sale to a "family friendly" market to boot! Maybe the kids can even read this one... #writingcommunity #writers #authors #writing #IndieAuthor #ReadingCommunity 📚💙
