COLLECT THEM ALL. 😁

The world peaked with ThinkGeek selling a Blue Canary for an outlet by a light switch.

You would think that I would have figured that out after 35 years here!

Trying to shake off general grumpiness today. The Internet is not helping much.

Thanks to Late Pledges, we are over 50% of the way to the Staff Raises Stretch Goal! THANK YOU, SPACE UNICORNS!!!

Yeah.

In a total combo of WTFness, an AI Art account is liking random Caitlin hospital updates from the month before she died. Yes, I blocked them.

Thanks. Exercise is tricky!

I tweaked my back during exercise, which is not a good way for my body to encourage further exercise.

YES!!!

It is amazing live! :D

It is a change of pace from the previous number one query of “I published this story, but it didn’t have any readers or made money so that means it’s unpublished, right?”

This.

We don’t use those.

Also, FFS. Get out of my mentions with your AI defenses. I am talking about literature in my magazine. Not about cancer research or whatever the fuck you are twisting into a justifcation about using programs trained on stolen art and writing to make crappy stories to flood my submission portal.

In case folks wondered….

A “little bit” of AI is plagiarism.

Yup.

She was amazing.

The queries have started about “What if I only used a little bit of AI for my story submission.”
The answer is, fuck AI. Uncanny Magazine doesn't want your story. There is no grey area here. Send us a story using AI for any aspect, it will be auto-rejected and you will be banned. Period.

Space Unicorn!
