Gentle bump on this—ratings and reviews help the book out a lot!

Ty, Fox in Residence @tyfoxface.bsky.social · Sep 10

As a reminder, if you have read it and you're so inclined, leaving reviews on Goodreads and/or Storygraph is super helpful and appreciated!

I know! I thought the same thing.

The woman at the store, very lovely girl, asked me if I was excited for the sequel. As if my shirt didn’t give it away.

Doing my first blind box, and the rush of getting the figure I wanted might be the closest to doing drugs I’ll ever experience.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

It really is frustrating when the tutorials interrupt the flow of the game. Especially for those of us who know how the game works and just want to get the ball rolling.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Nick Clegg says asking artists for use permission would ‘kill’ the AI industry

You’re playing the Pixel remaster? Which platform? I’m trying to remember if the console versions have a setting to change that.

Writing BlueSky! I need some help with something.

Does anyone know any historians who specialize in Russian penal culture? Specifically, anything about Siberia in the era of 1890's Russia?

I have said in passing I would take a fucking bullet for Moomintroll, be Snufkin’s ride or die, or even half-heartedly go in with Sniff on a crypto scheme.
Am I well, guys?

The scream of joy that erupted from my mouth reminded me that, sometimes, I get a little TOO happy for new Moomin stuff.
