Perhaps the surest sign of AI not being super intelligent is the amount of tailored scams targeting the finances of authors, which is as rewarding as trying to mug a seagull.

S4: First half was some of the best television I've seen. It's a super mainstream opinion but MAN, the Running Up That Hill scene hit hard. Second half made a lot of unsatisfying choices. Loved Eddie and Max throughout.
S5: No interest in seeing it. Too much time has passed and it just looks bloated

My summarized thoughts on Stranger Things:
S1: Gets lots of mileage out of its charming cast. Derivative but satisfying and nicely self-contained. Loved the bonding between Mike and Eleven.
S2: Almost no memories. Had some weird offshoot episode.
S3: Almost no memories. Took place in a mall I think?

Also, no AI was used in the cover art! I hired a real artist (as with my previous book) who didn't use any.

As president, Joe Biden ended the β€œforever war” in Afghanistan, reduced the drone program to near zero, and did not launch any regime change operations.

Americans didn’t like that or didn’t care, and voted to bring those things back.

My three-year-old was reading the Atlantic when he turned to me gravely and asked β€œdaddy, why are the 60 Minutes reporters mad at the nice lady with the funny glasses?” And when I told him β€œbecause they’re jealous that she’s richer and more successful than they are,” he started crying.

Thrilled to hear my story β€œThe Visitor” on the premium version of the latest episode of @thenosleeppodcast.bsky.social ! Couldn’t be happier with the huge voice cast (led by @danzappulla.com) and the dazzling music and production. Bravo to the whole cast and crew!

just to drive home the point. Texas created this map in August. the lower court rendered its decision November. So three months later, a year before the election in question.

I’m proud of what I've accomplished as a writer, and it’s honestly a blessing that I’ve made it this far before encountering behavior like this. I’ve done my due diligence in raising these concerns, and if they don’t want to learn from their mistakes, that’s up to them.

It’s all too bad, as the hosts present themselves as caring and sincere toward writers when, in reality, CreepCast’s actions toward me, at least, have consistently conveyed the opposite.

With all that said, I’ve spent enough time on this and don't intend to engage further.
