For reasons I can’t fathom, Reddit occasionally sends me articles it thinks I want to read from the Claude AI forum. It’s all the worst humans on earth, obviously. But a post today really stood out. Guy tried to voice a complaint to the company’s chatbot. Perfect no notes etc etc

It’s all true. I’m writing a serialized sci-fi fantasy body/gender swap story. The cast is big. The world is bigger. It has worms that barf light. It’s free! But since it’s The Internet, the “algo” depends on rating/follows. So c’mon over and be a hero! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1555...

Fixed it.

Repeating myself, but if you see this stupid creeper tech in a club, bar or restaurant, tell the server you’re not comfortable being there while the weirdo sitting at the other table has a camera strapped to his face, then leave. Be vocal. Give public spaces no choice but to ban this weirdo garbage

The Wild Vengeance of Witches wasn’t always pretty looking. It’s fun to look back at old prototypes

Just a wee reminder to let your comic store know that you'd love to grab a copy of JUNK PUNCH, my new upcoming series from @madcavestudios.com, created with my teammates Carlos Javier Olivares, Francesca Vivaldi, and @tayloresposito.bsky.social! Support weird indy comics!

Ew Moleskine used genAI for their Lord of the Ring collection by mentioning they used it, then entirely removing the claim after some backlash. Incredibly shitty of them for a brand that claims human creativity. cjleo.com/blog/moleski...

this is an astounding way to refer to an adaptation of Neuromancer. incredible headline work if your goal is to send a bunch of thirtysomethings on a rage spiral.

If you need some witch minis for The Wild Vengeance of Witches, this set has 3 witches and even a cauldron. I have a soft spot for the classic vibe of Reaper minis. They feel like you just found them in a box that's been in your basement for 30 years. www.reapermini.com/search/bones...

Support this man's work. It's good stuff! No really, check it out. It's really good.

Whatever the biggest stamp of approval you could imagine looks like, double it for James.

bad news for me, the guy who uses the world's biggest condom

My dear friend @calvinrosscarl.com and I have teamed up to make mini-games as @goodgoblet.com Our first release I can’t take any credit for, though. It’s all Calvin and his amazing wife, Sarah, with a few light touches by me. It’s super fun, it’s “pay what you want,” and you should check it out!

Sarah Sands, my very talented wife, wrote the stories. They are vicious… and sad. And @wordblanket.com, my very talented best bud, edited everything and tightened up rules.

It’s inaccurate to say Mario is brave and Luigi is cowardly Luigi is afraid of death, so he runs away from danger. Mario is afraid of living, so he runs towards death. Both brothers are cowards in their own way

Step 1: Become a Witch. Step 2: Get revenge. Releases on Tuesday!

I turned off the heat a few days ago because Portland had rounded the corner into its Best Weather On Earth phase, but this reaction may have been premature because now it’s 50 outside. I refuse to acknowledge this error in judgment and folks it is COLD in my house.

They actually get leveled down. You can read about it here in this story from @wordblanket.com www.royalroad.com/fiction/1555...

I’m launching a (free) print-and-play board game where you are witches getting revenge on the townsfolk who’ve turned against you. 🧙‍♀️ It will release in the next week. Sign up here to get notified www.goodgoblet.com/games

If you’re in PDX, you can find me at the Portland Night Market tonight and tomorrow! Drop by the @twogetherstudios.bsky.social booth to try our latest game!

Couldn’t be prouder.

Holy crap. I've boycotted the chain since they were busted protecting sex pests, but it sounds like everyone else will too if the experience is this horrible.

posting this one here cuz somehow this app feels like portland come pop out!

Had no idea he was making a John and Yoko movie. I assume the AI is being used to fill up the extra time once he decided not to include all the wife-beating and child abuse scenes.

Igor is, to state the obvious, Really Dang Talented. And the swappable covers he made for Shuffled are absolutely gorgeous.

Opening up commissions again. #art #commission

I've just finished writing drawing and lettering a 200 PAGE BOOK for people who love the original LILO & STITCH as much as I do. Please Get it!

You could also read my friend @wordblanket.com's super-crazy ongoing serial litRPG... SHUFFLED! I mean, obviously you should read mine first. But I suppose you could read his after. I guess. (reading both in any order is 100% acceptable) www.royalroad.com/fiction/1555...

Looking for enjoyable reading? Check out my ongoing serial novel, NEXT DOOR DUNGEON!!! It's litRPG at its ding-dang finest! New chapter every Sunday, Wednesday, Friday! Today's chapter is BOOK 2: CHAPTER 9: NURK-NURKS IN THE PARK! www.royalroad.com/fiction/1507...

As someone saddled with an incredibly boring name, I don’t get this experience too often. It’s kind of thrilling.

seeing Sora getting shut down is a good reminder that while genAI boosters will insist the genie can’t go back in the bottle, it does appears possible for the genie to crawl back up Sam Altman’s butthole if the genie ever stops being supplied with infinite money

Oh hey look! One of my favorite humans (and one of Portland’s most talented performers) is on Bluesky!

I mean, sure he wrote a long essay about why homosexuals were ruining family values and shouldn’t be allowed in the Boy Scouts, and yeah he fervently supported Roy Moore after the judge started illegally blocking gay marriage. But on the other hand, he made very very bad movies.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

I’ve been lucky enough to see just enough of this series to know it’s insane in all the best possible ways. Y’all are in for a treat.

“He was the actor we wanted to play this role.” The sentiment is kind of sweet until you finish his sentence by saying the unspoken part out loud: “So instead of hiring another actor, we paid a computer to do it.”

The time between reading this and launching Steam is the fastest I have ever purchased a game.

This is a top tier serialized story. A genuine joy to read. And thanks to an anomaly in time and/or space, it’s totally FREE. Get in there before the universe corrects this error.

I did some new art of Friday the 13th to share on Friday the 13th. It’s a Friday the 13th miracle!

Don’t forget! Saturday, March 14th, Cosmic Monkey Comics is excited to welcome GODZILLA VS PORTLAND writer / artist Colleen Coover & writer Mark Russell for a special local signing! Noon to 2PM, so don't delay...

I was JUST asking about an app like this. Hopefully iOS will have one soon. Normalize telling the bartender/server “Please tell the owner we’re leaving because the pervert sitting over there has a camera on his face and we won’t be back until there’s a sign on the door prohibiting it.”

This puts me at 10 people released. I filed my 1st habeas petition 29 days ago. I am an incredibly small-time, nobody lawyer who knew nothing about immigration law the day I submitted that case. I barely know any more today. I had never sued the federal government and now I've beaten them 10 times.
