AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified Copyright class actions could financially ruin AI industry, trade groups say.

"We committed the largest copyright violation crime ever and now we're being faced with the largest copyright class action ever?!? WHAT THE HELL?!?"

15-25 year old me: tee hee i love all the deaths in the final destination movies

40 year old me: this is what happens when you get rid of regulations and oversight. Everything is shoddily built and they’re cutting corners

A zine cover. Falchion: An occasional miscellany of assays upon sword & sorcery

Launching a fanzine. Soliciting content, especially substantive and comprehensive reviews on anything sword & sorcery related (think 500 words and up, no top end).

Love it!

Congrats!

Book promo. Background colour is purple, and a teal, purple, and gold dragon flies in the upper right hand corner. Two photo frames on the left display book covers. One if for Hauntings and Hoarfrost, a black cover with icy thorns and roses creeping around the perimeter of the book. The other frame displays Starship Librarians, which shows a librarian in a retro-orange spacesuit shelving books, in front of a window looking out onto space. Additional text reads, "When Words Collide 2025. Join us for an inspiring weekend of stories and storytellers. Meet writers, readers, and industry experts at a literary festival with fun, flair, and friends, old and new." Beneath the book cover images is another text box that says Book Launch. At the top is the date, August 15-17 2025, and the location, Sheraton Cavalier, Calgary NE.

To celebrate the LAUNCH of Starship Librarians & Hauntings & Hoarfrost, we are having a book launch event at When Words Collide. Join us Sunday Aug 17 at noon in the Cavalier Room for author readings & other fun! (Look, I'm gonna sneak in some of Beth Cato's gothic cookies.)

Gosh, that -96.8% makes me want to sing a verse of Oh Canada. Or possibly Barrett's Privateers.

The system looked neat and the art is great...not sure I'll be able to resist that hardcover.

Instagram post from the nsgov Instagram account. Black and red text reads “STAY OUT OF THE WOODS”; the foreground is a black silhouette of trees

obsessed with this vague notice from the government of Nova Scotia. Like it’s definitely about the new fire restrictions, but it also looks like a poster you’d find yellowed and curled on the bulletin board of a diner in a town where locals won’t talk about their missing kids

Thread up and down, but absolutely this:

"I asked ChatGPT. I asked Grok."
well I asked Doktor Avalanche, legendary drum machine with The Sisters of Mercy, and he told me to fuck off.

I snagged a print copy yesterday! Looking forward to reading it!

Great read!

We should probably have a plan for this

David Byrne came to my band’s show at a gay bar in Bed-Stuy and sang This Must Be The Place with us and I still haven’t processed it

Absolutely!

Wish I had a good picture of it.

Thanks!

I miss that nobody in Manitoba seems to plant flax anymore. Seeing the blue flax blooms on one side of the highway and the yellow canola on the other was a great view.

It sure feels like FF was an influence. They nailed the family of heroes vibe that's a big part of the comics.

Not an original opinion, but The Incredibles is the best Fantastic Four movie we're likely to get. I didn't enjoy any of the official ones I've seen, but am hopeful for the new one.

I will bump up on my to-read stack so I can get to recommending. 🙂

If you feel sympathetic cos I have COVID & want to help, rec I Think I'm in Love with an Alien to readers you think will enjoy it.

If -you- loved it, please rate or review it. People who hate SFF cons say it's boring & I suppose it is if you're not a con person. Help the right readers find it. 🥺🙏

anyway. manitoba is so beautiful. i will die on this hill.

About 80% of my grammar suggestions from Microsoft Word are “why not use a simpler word here for clarity?”

No. Fuck you.

I will use a complicated word for evocative precision whenever the muse’s clarion song demands ebullience, vivacity, torpor, or solemnity, you shit-ass suck machine.

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon!
