One panel comic. Two people are speaking. A woman says, "AI is gonna destroy humanity." The other guy responds, "It's so efficient - we don't even have to do it ourselves!"

Why end the world ourselves? that's robot work. (stickycomics.com) #comics #AI

Oh no! Good luck!

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

As the single most important news story this year, I can't wait to see the detailed and central coverage this will get in every media outlet we have

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

With the onslaught of generative AI content, we’re poisoning our information streams. This is the new book burning. Soon, information and imagery from the before times will be treasured as legitimate and uncorrupted.

The AI-Driven Downward Spiral How Irresponsible Use of Generative AI Will Make Everything Worse

I started a Substack! This will be a new home for some of my longer-form content. My first post is about how “good enough” AI content might just ruin everything great. Let’s do better, guys! Read more here: open.substack.com/pub/sheribom...

A yellow cardboard carton on a CVS shelf with brightly colored letters that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” and “statue of liberty chicken.” Inside the carton are hot pink, teal, and royal blue rubber chickens with googly eyes rendered like the Statue of Liberty, with their faces distressed and frozen in a shriek. They have tags around their necks that say “squeeze me to hear me scream”

Can’t decide whether these Statue of Liberty rubber chickens that say “squeeze me to hear me scream” are a little too on-the-nose for these times or if they’re perfect

I’m posting this as a self-pubbed author and content creator — not trying to sell you on self vs trad publishing. Both have a role and watching how they coevolve over the years has been fascinating! 👀

It goes to show how far self-publishing has come! These books would not have existed if they hadn’t been self-published first. With all the disruptions in the publishing industry, self-publishing is an increasingly legit player in how new books and authors are discovered and published 📚🌟

The fanfiction written on a notes app that’s become a bestseller – with a seven-figure film deal SenLinYu’s debut started life as Harry Potter fanfiction. The Alchemised author shares why they were drawn to a war-torn love story, how a conservative upbringing shaped their writing, and the snobber...

Alchemised is a dark fantasy that was originally Harry Potter fanfic with a Hermionie/Draco toxic love story & Handmaid’s Tale elements. SenLiYu was pubbing it online and it was so popular that Penguin offered for it (w/o the fanfic parts) and it has a film deal! www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s...

Dungeon Crawler Carl: Building A Universe With Matt Dinniman and Jeff Hays From books and audiobooks to Webtoons, a TTRPG, and maybe even live action, Dungeon Crawler Carl is leveling up into a full-blown universe.

This Inevitable Ruin is the 7th book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. It’s Lit RPG (role-playing-game-like fiction) set in a bizarre virtual world. The hilarious ebooks were self-pubbed & then Penguin Random House acquired the print rights only—a unique deal! butwhytho.net/2025/08/dung...

At Target yesterday, I took a look at the books they have on the endcap right by the cash register — the top spot for popular fiction. The two books with the top-shelf spots were SFF with non-traditional routes to publishing:
-This Inevitable Ruin by Matt Dinniman
- Alchemised by SenLinYu

Screenshot of a post about building a giant LEGO skeleton, one showing the full-size skeleton next to a child and several photos of the building process. Text reads: Bad Legos Giant LEGO skeleton Halloween decoration! It's made of foam with a metal armature inside to support the weight and add stability. It stands about 13.5 feet/4 meters tall. Created by Alan Perkins

A child standing next to a 13.5-foot tall model of a LEGO skeleton, with her head positioned in the skeleton’s hand. They are standing on a lawn in front of a house.

Best giant skeleton I’ve seen so far! 💀🧱🖤

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Because they got beet up 🙃

Remember when only the dumpster was on fire?!

So many spotted lanternflies are out right now, you can see it on radar So many have descended across the Mid-Atlantic, swarms of the insects have been appearing on weather radar. Clouds of them have been descending on trees and buildings across the region.

The weather is feeling a little apocalyptic these days 😳

Oh no, it’s Home Depot. I was just there yesterday and worrying about it 😡😡😡😢

I’ve been thinking a lot about this scenario too — the fact that AI might be “good enough” for people, and then it’ll kill everything great. I’m working on a post about it (coming soon!). Really great insights in this essay from @cwarzel.bsky.social

This is a new Murderbot short story, coming out later this week on Reactor Magazine. It’s about ART and its crew, set before Network Effect, and how ART finally decided to tell them about meeting a rogue SecUnit.

New: It appears lightning struck the Washington Monument at 12:02 a.m. The view is from two STATter911 cameras.
