The creativity was done already by the people who made what the AI is using to “create” its derivative garbage.

Just got a call from another real estate scammer looking to buy our house. I told them $3 million.

They hung up. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It’s a shame, because I grew up watching him on TechTV. Now it’s just sad to see how bad of an influence John Dvorak was on him.

Leo Laporte should probably throw in the towel at this point. I’ve never seen someone fall so far from becoming a champion of tech to an out-of-touch curmudgeon. “CES is pointless.” “Wicked was a terrible movie.” “I’m on a show about Apple, but don’t think anything Apple does is worthwhile.”

Is there a tool, AI or otherwise, that would allow me to upload a diagram of a room in my house with all the furniture placements and measurements and then tell it: “Rearrange this room in a way to maximize space/efficiency?”

Oh cool, thank you!!

Republicans Built an Ecosystem of Influencers. Some Democrats Want One, Too. Democrats were badly outflanked online in the election, and progressive influencers are now trying to create networks to be a left-wing answer to Turning Point USA.

How do we have 800 of these articles and none contend with the fundamental issue which is rich liberals don’t want to fund left media, they want to fund liberal media which is bloodless and partisan, by definition. GOP courts its extremes, liberals discipline theirs.

impressive Bill Gates was the subject of a brutal NYT report about how he met multiple times with post-conviction Jeffrey Epstein, his wife of 27yrs divorced him over it, then he produced some Netflix hagiographies of himself, gave $50 million to the Harris campaign and everyone just forgot about it

Review: WICKED (2024) - 4.5/5 While it's held back by an unnecessarily long runtime and Ariana Grande's near mimicry of Glinda originator Kristin Chenoweth, WICKED is a beautiful, lush feast for the ... TikTok video by Let’s All Go To the Lobby 🎥⭐️

Lovely time had at @moviehistories.bsky.social film club with a POV noir caper. Was not expecting the gimmick to sustain itself Montgomery as director nails it fairly well!

Another fab outing with fine film pals!

our dog, Sallie, posing sleepily with the Stet! box

I've decided to hawk the book and the game once and precisely once this entire holiday season, so I figured I'd get in a head start before you're all inundated, and today's the day.

Dog not included.

500 words down this morning in the WIP. Haven't written fiction in so long. Felt good. #amwriting

An AI render of Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy done in the style of Conan The Barbarian / Medevil Fantasy.

The fact that we're boiling the oceans faster than ever expressly for the purpose of making this is probably the most fitting end to humanity.

My thing is, if they’re not even willing to speak up to defend their own, what could we possibly expect them to do for anyone else?

it disgusts me the national democratic party barely pushes back at this attempt from the right to wind back LGBTQ rights decades after claiming to be the party of LGBTQ rights

THANK YOUUUUU!!!! 🥰

Just signed copies of CABINET OF CURIOSITIES at The Strand in NYC! Another dream fulfilled! 🥰✍️📖 #author #writer #booksky #writersky

Headed to @barnesandnoble.bsky.social in Union Square NYC to sign some books. If you’re local, come say hi!

Four social media platforms from now we’ll realize the problem was inside us the whole time

Hi, I'm Erik. I'm a literary agent and one of the founders of @headwaterlit.bsky.social. I also host @printrunpodcast.bsky.social, a show about the publishing industry that, if you followed me because of that publishing starter pack, you will love. I do both these things with @lzats.bsky.social.

While it’s exciting to see this place grow, let’s temper expectations. Because until this place becomes a hub for live/breaking news, it won’t be the “town square” we’re all hoping for.

I’m giving away a 4K UHD / Blu-ray edition of Criterion’s stunning I WALKED WITH A ZOMBIE / THE SEVENTH VICTIM

All you have to do it LIKE this, REPOST, and FOLLOW

The winner will be chosen at random on 5th Dec! To enter twice, sign up at at Patreon via the link in the bio!

Good luck!

Hiiiii!!! 👋

#stitch with @Lakeshore Public Media James Cagney almost didn’t do Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942), but the growing opposition to Communism in Hollywood forced his hand. #blacklist #Hollywood #history #jam... TikTok video by Let’s All Go To the Lobby 🎥⭐️

James Cagney didn’t just do Yankee Doodle Dandy because he wanted to. It was because he HAD to, in an increasingly hostile, anti-Communist Hollywood www.tiktok.com/t/ZTYNvJWSq/

Oh wow! Thank you! 😊

So aside from writing books, I also run a successful TikTok channel called “Let’s All Go to the Lobby @lobbyintros.bsky.social,” where I talk classic film. It’s helped me land a side job as a classic film host - like the kind you might see on TCM. Mometu.com #booksky #filmsky #classicfilm
