Given the obvious portents for Republicans, seems that this election is going to be riddled with fake Democrats and the billionaires that fund them.

ppl who still commission their favourite artists even in this era where everyone is broke and genAI is being pushed on us at every opportunity—you are appreciated more than words can express!!!

They should make a form of knighthood that isn’t bestowed by a government or monarchy or religious institution. There should be Knights of the Common People and they should be allowed to carry swords at the mall.

"you need to learn how to use gAI or you'll get left behind!"

counterpoint!

the absolute fastest way to render yourself unemployable is to build your skillset around a tool that does your thinking for you, that everyone has access to, and that one company can change or take away at any time

We don't want AI-generated stories.

We want stories that are beautiful and weird.

Mistakes and obsessions. Labyrinthine worlds; love poems that break us.

We want the wild stroke of chance, the stray detail.

We don't want soulless slop.

We want work *written* by HUMANS.

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

A cool thing to remember is that if your theory about a piece of fiction turns out to be wrong?

You get to pocket those ideas and use them in your own works.

Nobody's taking anything from you when your theories don't prove correct. Those imagined ideas are all yours.

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

dear Mr. Treebeard,

it would be really really really really cool and so appreciated if you and the other Ents did your thing right about now.

will help you with finding the Entwives, by the way.

no worries if not though. (I get it)

P.S. big fan

even a comment that's just 'extra kudos' or a bunch of hearts or 'I loved this' can make an author's day!

Oh yeah! I need my blood pills- Almost forgot!

Thanks, My Immortal, for reminding me I’m Elderly now! XD RaWr!

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads: The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same... - Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

For ppl who aren't aware:
Old temperate forests are insanely rare nowadays and extremely important ecosystems lost forever once cut.
They're not just "old trees" but intricate networks of trees, fungi and all kinds of living creatures.
You CANNOT replant this!! Once it's gone it's lost FOREVER!!!

“Enchanté,” I say, shaking your dog’s paw.

him: will you at least act normal when my folks get here

me: *flipping a pancake and reading it like a tarot card* bad news

Same, also can’t bookmark or mark for later orz

They're hoping we'll forget about this in a few months and that we'll resubscribe to Nitro so they can get back their funding for this nonsense. Cancel yours and do not forget about this.

Okay, so the Brits who wandered into comments and whose only opinion was 'they set that fucker up because the Prince is the head of the BAFTAS and they didn't want anyone asking about his uncle' were just ... Spot Fucking On.

Yes, I know the plot of the book I started writing. And no, I don't know where I'm going with it yet. Just give me a sec.

@littlekuriboh.bsky.social Since I know you've been boosting GenAI news related to Genshin games, it was just discovered that they added a clause to their Privacy Policy that allows them to train an AI using your voice if you use in game voice chat.
