I'm still fairly sure my end will be preceded by me saying "pspsps, here kitty kitty."

Worth it.

I'm seeking an artist to do a digital cover illustration for the standalone ebook edition of my story "Kaiju Agonistes." I'm looking for something in the $300 range (plus, I profit share): stylized, not elaborately realistic. You can see my existing e-book trade dress at: www.scottlynchstore.com

Do I have good looks?
No.

But do I have an amazing personality and a fantastic sense of humour?
Also no.

The lighting in so many modern films is uninspired and lacking mood and artistry.
Obviously, this observation does not apply to Blade Runner 2049, The Lighthouse, The Batman and several others.

Maybe it's less an invitation and more the statement of a political cause? ๐Ÿค”

Initial impressions are VERY positive. Smooth writer, the magnetic cap works flawlessly, the aesthetics are wonderful and the engineering is very precise. The only issue some people might have is that, whilst it is lightly textured to aid grip, some with a light touch may find it a little smooth.

I still can't fathom why the UK government is in the thrall of AI. It has very specific scope where it can be useful but, broadly, it's unreliable and unethical. It consumes staggering amounts of power, water, RAM and storage, driving up the cost of it all.
It's not an informed strategy.

The sheer brass neck of declaring a 'National Year of Reading' while selling out authors to AI companies and giving independent bookshops a good kicking

So much thatโ€™s good in this, but clipped out this in particular. Yes, yes, yes: itโ€™s a losersโ€™ ideology, demonstrably, historically so. Itโ€™s stupid and pointless and wearying, and, as he says, it ends up eating itself. Itโ€™s who it takes with it on the way down the shitter thatโ€™s the tragedy.

I LOVE Alan Wake sooo much. I'm also an absolute sucker for Control. I've played through it more times than is healthy...and I may own the soundtrack on vinyl...and have the art book... ๐Ÿ˜…

Whilst Labour didn't initiate it, didn't Starmer (with Mandelson) visit Palantir HQ and the minutes have been strangely mislaid? That kind of thing does worry me. They need extracting from our infrastructure.

Successive UK governments have been very poor at IT procurement and I still struggle to understand why. Is it a lack of technical knowledge? Complacency? Poor budgeting? There are more cynical possibilities as well...
