We might as well cut out the media middlemen and get AI to generate our listicles ourselves. Why see ads?

New startup idea: LinkedOut. A site where you track the assholes you absolutely don't want to work with, ever again. Alerts you when any HR from those companies pings you. Depending how much you hate them, you can assign them a 1st, 2nd, 3rd level distance to keep.

THE LIFE OF CHUCK opens in select cities Friday. Everywhere, June 13th. Go see it. It will brighten your day.

I'm old enough to remember when Frey made up whole swaths of his "memoir." Frey has always seemed like a grifter, and him using AI to write passages in his new novel isn't surprising when you know his past grifts like this YA one. Rich white men get chance after chance after chance, don't they. 😒

Five black and white favourite movies Ikiru M Khamoshi Tere Ghar Ke Saamne A Stitch in Time

Here's what's *really* going to happen: All the technical parts of the creative process - computer animation gruntwork, sound leveling, copying around and formatting the screenplay, splicing together multiple takes, ykwim - are going to be replaced by AI. Letting creatives do it all by themselves.

If you thought social media had scrambled America’s CEOs just wait until they’re fully cooked by AI apple.news/AJ_ht7MMyT9G...

A multi-season Hindi adaptation of Richard Stark (aka Donald Westlake)'s Parker series, set in various cities in India, with the later seasons focused on the Mumbai underworld. Man, that would rock.

Instead of the bland, "have a nice day," add some suspense by saying, "I hope you enjoy the next 24 hours."

Almost nobody wants you (or encourages you) to spend time with your friends. Your office doesn't like it, your family wants more of your time, your hobbies try to pull you away. But you absolutely need to prioritize them because they're the only ones you can be honest with.

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

I threw away the mango that was in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast no apologies American mangoes are ass just complete trash

I love when folks discover horror with a movie or a book. We’re over here like, “Oh, you loved Stephen Graham Jones? Sinners is your new favorite movie? You’re “getting into serial killer stories”? Come on in! Oh, we have such sights to show you. Whatever you’re into, we have it.

Finished reading Nick Cutter's The Troop yesterday, and am now cutting up bean sprouts for dinner. Ugh. #iykyk

I'm not religious but I believe in the holy trinity

roomate was trying to think of how to reply to an email and her coworker said "just use chatgpt!" my roommate said "No, I'm literate"

Want to make this my life philosophy

Reminder

Omg I want to share good news about my book but but but but the world is kind of ending so I’m conflicted

Repost with a movie you know all the words to.

Just got a cold "Hire me!" mail on my day job id, from a "great communicator" who "has an eye for detail". Folks, he spelt my name wrong in the salutation 😭.

Hey Ginger Nuts reviewers I have just added about 20 new books to the review forum, including books from Chuck Tingle, Daniel Soule, Rachel Harrison, Mark Matthews, Isabel Canas, and Wendy N Wagner.

I'm getting so sick of social media, especially the way it ignores depth of content for surface shine, and how it's replacing all slower-paced media. I don't want to be writing crappy X/BS/Reddit posts showing off my so-called coolness, I just want to have interested folks read my actual writing.

When neighbourhoods were still made up of independent homes, there was always that one shunned house. Overgrown garden, rusty gates, broken window panes, dark within. Wander round the back and you start to see signs of inhabition...

White supremacists hiding the achievements of non-white people is a pretty good indication that they know white people aren’t supreme.

Age yourself with a cartoon you watched as a kid.

Back in the day, my favourite joke used to be a Feghoot that ended with "Na kuch teri bus mein Julie, Na kuch meri bus mein." It just occurred to me that I can't tell that joke any more, because no one knows the song now 💔. Feeling like that Simpsons Grandpa meme.

Writer's block so bad you feel like sinking into office work over the weekend, just to get something done 😭

Oooh, my book club group loved this one :)

Just read @fatimataqvi.bsky.social 's story "You Have Eaten of Our Salt" as part of an upcoming anthology and absolutely loved it. More detailed review of the anthology coming soon on @gnofhorror.com !

Masterful weaselly answer. "Hindi film makers are making multiplex films" it seems. It's all about making a film that an average person can relate to. Corruption, prices, job insecurity, molestation, fear of police and politicians... tackle these! www.deccanherald.com/entertainmen...

Anyone interested in an anthology of horror written by older female authors? @datlow.bsky.social @tananarivedue.bsky.social @badhandbooks.bsky.social @nettirw.bsky.social @leemurraywriter.bsky.social @delilahsdawson.bsky.social Oh, the things we've seen...

Wishing @lairdbarron.bsky.social a very happy birthday. One of the writers whose work sneaks up on you (should I say Tiptoes up on you). Suddenly, without warning, you're awake at 3AM thinking about a scene from one of his stories...

Folks, it is Laird Barron’s birthday today. Wish him the best and treat yourself to one of his books.

In our earliest years, we lived in a world slowly but surely switching from tin and cloth, wood and stone, to plastic and steel and concrete and synthetic fibres. Valve radios still tuned in Karachi, Calcutta, Beijing, Moscow...BBC World Service... but we also watched local news and national news..

Just did my first Block on LinkedIn for an atrocious post related to 'Mrs.'. Tells me - LinkedIn is getting stupider day by day - That movie did something right
