Franklyn S. Newton 🌌 Synthetic Sea out now ✨

Welp, That road trip across the US we wanted to do isn't happening anytime soon

Altman: ok so the machine's primary use will be to make deepfake porn of all your actresses, sometimes with child faces. I told people they will be able to fuck these deepfakes. Also, as I said, it encourages them to commit suicide and family annihila-

Disney: say no more. Here's a billion dollars

Extremely weird to go to Popular Coffee/Bakery chain in a Big London Train Station and ask for non dairy milk and they just say "No 😐😐😐. "

gasolina is a far more powerful song than we can comprehend as a civilisation

Croydon bar DJs , I could never hate you

Nothing beats a Jet2 Holida-DEE YAN-KEE

Quick question for the Warhammer fans, how long are you meant to soak figurines in ethanol to strip the paint and is it less than two years

Chernobyl promo poster, using an awkward, lumpy typeface.

Fonts are in the news, so I'm going to take the opportunity to port over an old thread: what was typography like in the Soviet Union?

Spoiler: they did not just have 1 font everyone had to use. As a matter of fact, there were 39.

One of them, you can see here, used to great effect for "Chernobyl."

I want to do a boast.

I finished my MA in Classics and I just found out this week that I got a distinction. I am very very proud of myself.

My dissertation was on women in Ancient Rome who wore the toga. Ask me anything. Really anything (about my subject, or I'll try more broadly in Classics).

A release day graphic for BE NOT AFRAID by S. Jean. A 3D version of the book is to the left with a phone displaying the same cover as an ebook. There is a short descrption to the right of the book and it reads: a fast-paced blaze through hell... When deadbeat Trent Cain takes a shortcut home through the park at 3AM, he find five angels there to greet him. Unfortunately, despite their proclamations of "be not afraid", they mean him harm. His only hope is another angel wielding a lead pipe, but there's something familiar about this one... Along the bottom of the graphic is the url for where to find your copy: books.earlronove.com/benotafraid

BE NOT AFRAID is out now!
A deadbeat guitarist's bad night gets worse when he's thrust into hell, seraphs demanding his death hot on his heels. His only hope is another angel, one with eyes he used to know.

McDonalds Got Bullied So Badly It Deleted Its AI Christmas Ad The hated holiday ad apparently took weeks of crunch to generate, according to the studio behind it

Everyone’s boss thinks A.I. is cool and I can’t think of anyone cooler, smarter, or more in touch than everyone’s boss. kotaku.com/mcdonalds-ai...

Visit Emery Lee's Shop! I've opened a shop. Come take a look!

So, it's been 6 months of Itch ignoring my payouts & refusing to even answer why they won't give me the money I'm owed for my *own* sales.

If y'all would like to help me out, direct sales from my Ko-Fi shop get paid out immediately so please consider buying my books (ebook & print) there!

Gonna be popping a bunch of the royalties that process this month to Trans Solidarity Alliance 🩵🩷🤍 and so can YOU (if financially able) 🫵🫵🫵

Speaking as someone who attended a top-notch public school, in the Eighties, and one that was (almost) all boys...

Fucking nope.

We all waded through The Collapse of Weimer, and The Nazi Rise To Power, and not ONCE did anyone go, 'Hey, that dude looks so cool.'

If you've picked up a copy of Synthetic Sea or any of my works please do leave a review, long or short, positive, negative, or just ok ! It really helps me 🩷

You absolutely couldn’t write it better. Amazing.

Age Assurance Verify your age We have partnered with KWS

I cannot stress enough to any other Australians to please avoid KWS verification like the plague.

I was checking through what bluesky's verification was and just immediately with this.
If you don't know, KWS had a data breech and it was confirmed user data was stolen that was supposed to be deleted

Yeah I read them too cause I was the right age at when they were being published, but then I moved on 🤷

Honestly people trying to "reclaim" Harry Potter by getting their fanfic publish or queering it or whatever as if that's going to somehow spite JKR are annoying. All you're doing is keeping those books culturally relevant because you can't let go of something you read when you were 8. Grow up.

these are so clearly only controlled by humans it’s astounding how much everyone gives elon musk for lying to everyone all the time about everything

A black cat lying face down on a window sill, nose pressed to the sill

DNA testing, ShmeNA testing, this cat is 100% slug

I keep getting ads for DNA testing for cats and it's pretty funny since Cat is Cat and no genetic panel will enlighten me

It's like they thought that trans youth would disappear and accept not being able to access care. That's never how this worked. This is why I have such a problem with the Dutch protocol framing by the media. Trans youth were getting street hormones for decades before it was made available in clinics

no idea
