Ex FTC chair Lina Khan to @ivehaditpodcast.bsky.social on Paramount & Netflix vying for Warners: “Both of these deals look illegal — what’s striking is in the Trump administration, everything is up for sale… maybe they’ll look the other way in terms of what he and his family get.”

Been thinking about putting a small paywall up (maybe $2/mo / $15/yr) where stories and columns are behind it for the first two weeks before becoming free for all. Especially since we are doing away with ads in the new year.

Can’t decide what my favorite story art from @tonytranrpg (https://dice.camp/@tonytranrpg) was this season. Falling, Ugly Sweater Day, Depths, Hex Support, and Questmas Quackers are probably my top five, but narrowing down any further is tough.

Is it bad form to change award categories and rules mid-nomination period? Yes. Do I care? Kind of… but I did it anyway... It’s free to enter and now I'm giving away more money, so deal with it!
I added a fourth category for less than 2,500 words, and now readers can nominate and authors can no

Shout out what you're most proud of this year! Go ahead, you deserve it for writing and getting published. Heck, represent your favorite short story. They deserve it, too.
