"He's a piece of shit, but let's get the political science stuff out of the way," Steven told me when I asked if he thought support of Tesla could be considered apolitical. "Elon Musk has platformed white supremacists and antisemites on X. He got rid of all the moderation. He put back accounts that were clearly neo-Nazis. He's changed algorithms to promote that type of hate.
Him and DOGE did massive cuts in the government, including our civil services.
He's cut cancer research. Did I mention he was a giant piece of shit?"
"He's cut our aid to Africa, which Will result, without exaggeration, in millions of women and children and innocent people dying. Millions," he said. "I'm not a big fan of people who give the Hitler salute. I mean, I'm kind of fussy like that. He gave it twice at Trump's inauguration," he continued. "He's a Nazi. And he cheats at video games. You have another question?"

Has a character named Elias Vance come up for you when using Al?
I just completed a novella and lo, there was Elias Vance as a main character. Little did I know this dude is some kind of Al trope on the level of Not_ but _
_. Have you ever seen Elias Vance?

Hello friends, a quick break from the current story line with a preview of my first book and a question. The preview will be in comments but my question is, should I wait till it's finished to release it fully or release it chapter by chapter somewhere?

The world was dying, and Dr. Elias Vance was running out of time.
He sat in the sterile glow of his lab, exhaustion clinging to him like a second skin. The hum of machines filled the silence, a constant reminder that progress was slow-too slow. Outside, the city was unraveling. The news reports played on a loop: hospitals overflowing, governments scrambling, bodies piling up in makeshift morgues. The virus-an enemy unseen and unstoppable-was winning.
Failure. Again.

It is fucking insane that we had a decade of people complaining about the dangers of cancel culture, and now literally hundreds of thousands of people are being purged from government jobs for ideological reasons, but that is not cancel culture.

As for Hulk Hogan, he was always the villain. But he was a great example of how villains are sold as heroes, to us impressionable kids. He was a gutter racist, an enemy of journalism, a great talker and showman who couldnt wrestle, and an American hot dog-coloured fraud. He was a warning, in a way.

"No amount of cheering will cause [Hogan's] desiccated, drug-addled corpse to 'Hulk up,' turn back time, and re-insert you into childhood. But the return to childhood is what the impulse to fascism is always about."

1) 99.99999% of artists/writers/actors/creative people in general don't make anywhere NEAR as much money as most people think we do. The vast majority of us are making well below a living wage from our work.
2) Follower count does not translate into sales. You'd think it would, but it just doesn't.
