it's all just art. "porn" is just art that makes you horny, in precisely the way that "horror" is art that makes you scared and "metroidvania" is art that makes you write video essays

A charming mole wise woman is behind the counter in her shop, mashing something in a mortar. She is surrounded by various ingredients (flowers, herbs, bulbs, potions), bottles, and books, lit by candles.

This is the High Priestess from the deck I'm creating w/ Deborah Blake, with whom the village turns to for guidance... and tea!

A year(-ish) from now you'll have this deck in your hands + can immerse yourself in this magical world we created!

The covers for six of my books: The Young Necromancer’s Guide to Ghosts, Dragon Whisperer, Trueflame, Fireborn, Firebound, After the Dragon Raid. Text across the middle reads: Request them at your library!

Dark grey text on a beige background that reads: Get it at the library! Did you know you can ask your library to purchase books? Free for you! Authors still get paid! Others get to read it as well! Support libraries! With a print mockup of The Dragon Next Door on a wooden shelf. #NessPromo

Want to support me without spending a dime? Request my books at your library! The library pays for their copy so I still get paid and you get to read it for free! Best part, others can enjoy it after you! 🌈📚 #booksky

I'm using my daily allowance of being gently annoying to remind you to please add this game we made to your wishlist on Steam!

Tariffs are a must in any trade deal with Canada, says Trump's trade rep | CBC News U.S. President Donald Trump's point man on trade talks says Canada needs to accept that tariffs will be a part of any deal with the administration, including renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreemen...

Asshole Jamieson Greer announces that, even if CUSMA is renegotiated, we'll still get hit with tariffs.
Isn't a free trade agreement about free trade and not tariffs?
We have to run away from these fascist pricks.

Anyway I obviously am not applying to this residency, but I also find it interesting that the initial Instagram post included "the author of ten computer-generated books" in one of the faculty bios, which has now been removed. It's still on the residency page.

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

ANALYSIS | Danielle Smith says court 'skewed' to Liberal donors, but UCP picks have political ties just as often | CBC News CBC analysis suggests about one-fifth of federally named judges match with Liberal donor lists. About as many judges picked by the province likely gave to UCP.

When Danielle Smith claimed 80% of federally picked judges had donated to Liberals, that was way higher than any figure I'd researched.
I dug into it. Could confidently write here:
"It is not true. The single media source Smith got that fact from has since corrected it."

Just fuck these people. Crime is way down but we can't feed our narrative of fear to the low information public by acknowledging that.

I hate these people so much.

CCLA Condemns Ontario’s Growing Takeover of Local School Boards - CCLA Those affected by Bill 9 will have to choose between their faith and their profession or their studies – a dilemma that has no place in a democracy.

“By removing democratically elected trustees and replacing them with provincially appointed supervisors, the government has eliminated a critical layer of public accountability in public education.”

Year of the Horse

Think we all could do with a good cry.

A panel from the webcomic KEEPING TIME. Denver, a blond punk with a neck tattoo, has his arms around Stef, a Black bassist wearing a denim jacket covered in band patches. Denver says, "I’ve never seen anyone win over Stef that fast. This must’ve been some sort of record," while Stef grunts, "Mmph."

Sometimes a band is made up of a guitarist who has no idea he's the romantic lead in a queer romance, his roommate, the new-old singer he wooed back into the band, & a bassist who radiates kid brother energy

if you live in Wicsonson, theyre trying to push through an insanely restrictive Age Verification law that would make it illegal for an ADULT to use a VPN to access "material harmful to minors"

Everybody’s talking about the destruction of consumer electronics and that’s bad, but basically everything in modern life has a computer in it. Hospitals, airports, transportation, shipping, medical devices, farm equipment, and point of sale terminals had a good run

My variation on this is to just do the loud safe part as often as possible while not giving the shitheads on this site the attention they so crave. 😂

Screencap them and cut out their names & mock them brutally. No boost, no cred, nothing but the scorn they've earned and the invisibility they fear.

This is fundamentally the transfer of compute-power as something a person can own, to something a person rents. Which is, you know, not good.

Gang.

GANG.

LLM DETECTORS ARE ALSO LLMs AND PRONE TO THE EXACT SAME ERRORS.

STOP USING THEM.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.

I love canadian holidays! It's like yeah I love my Friday the 13th, Valentines/Captain Cook combo holiday on the Saturday, and then it ends on Cocaine Family Day on Monday.

You're going to die one day. Literally the apocalypse of your body is coming and you still have to write your book

no, it simply isnt.
People are talking about capital using gAI as an excuse to conduct mass lay-offs, about students losing learning because theyre being lied to about gAI in education, about the mass theft of the work of artists and authors to train LLMs, about CSAM and nonconsensual sexual images.
