Any business or individual claiming to care about the environment and sustainability, and the future of the planet, and then in the next breath uses Chat GPT or any other AI is morally bankrupt because of how much water it uses plus all the data it's stolen to feed the machine.

Last night I was on Christopher Ruocchio's YouTube channel talking about Swords and Larceny, a forthcoming anthology of heist stories from Baen books, published Sept 2nd. We both have a fantasy story in the book, plus there's stories from lots of other writers.

Rewatched Peacemaker series 1 ahead of series 2 coming out. Still got smacked by those gut punches.

Long series always seems to suffer by the end. My Shadows of the Apt are all different but soon I'll have matching special edition hardbacks from The Broken Binding!

I see you suffer from the same problem I have. Paperback Dresden Files in the old style and newer ones in the new style and some hardback! The inconsistency of the covers and sizes on my shelf makes me twitch! 😜

Just spitballing here but I think air conditioning is a much better use of energy than sophisticated predictive text models that lie to you and produce slop “art”

I have seen Superman. No spoilers, I liked it a lot.
I need to see it again now, mostly so I can wipe the memory of 2 annoying talky teenage girls who seemed to think it was their living room and they could talk through the ENTIRE FILM until I told them to shut up.
But also to see what I missed

Managed to dodge all the spoilers. Going to see Superman today. Very excited.
