Love his little hat! 😁

I couldn’t find a K-pop Demon Hunters shirt I liked so far made this one

My kid carved his pumpkin too scary and is now afraid of it. Honestly, being terrified of your own creation is about as Halloween as you can get.

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

"You can't un-invent AI!" We can't un-invent asbestos either. That doesn't mean we have to use it.

My neighbor had a cat who'd leave half a lizard/mouse/bird on her doorstep, like he was trying to feed her.
When she came home we'd wait to see if she yelled, 'Ick!' and flicked the offering away with the point of her high heel. And the cat was a great provider, so...

Pretty much makes for a knee-jerk buy for me.
Although it's @scalzi.com--so I know I'd buy it regardless. 😁🐓

Heads up, writer friends. For the second time I received a cute email from an 11 year old asking if I'd read their short story and give feedback. Story Not an attachment but a link. Be safe. Delete. Do not respond. Emails virtually identical but for boy/girl name.

Love hitting that point! 😁

And people screaming.
All of the above is especially fun if you're driving a car. 😒

Had to make a choice in my writing so I wouldn't get discombobulated, so...
Grey for eyes.
Gray for hair.

Turning off notifications as this post has become a never-ending revivifier for AI trolls, & is cluttering up my Notifications.

Y'all are smart enough to read the writing on the wall, & know better than to trust corporations who SWEAR they will do no evil...while doubling down on the evil. 😒

I used the free version as a backup to Spellcheck. It didn't have all the bells and whistles.

Poisoning the well is always good.

Maybe. My free version didn't offer that 'perk'. 🙃

I don't know of any, but maybe someone will post something here.

I had the free version, so I could only get those features by performing a turning-widdershins blood sacrifice beneath the full moon.

They really are shooting themselves in the foot.
With a cannon.
