My stance towards generative AI has been the same for the past 3 years: why the fuck would I ever want to read or view something made by someone who didn't want to take the time to make it?
Why is my time less valuable than theirs? Get outta here

This is who she was.
Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best.
Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

I think this is a great piece by Ron and would make a great RPG Manual cover or some such thing. If you publish #rpgs then please contact Ron. The man is 90 and he's still painting pieces like this.

In 40k, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Vior'la underground.... Maybe you can hire, The T'au-Team.

This is the version of the post that everyone needs to see. And all you readers/authors despairing of non-comprehension, etc, we are gaining new fans of fantasy and SF. It might not be the fantasy or SF you personally read, but they're reading and buying where they weren't before.

Starbucks’ CEO makes 6,666x what the average @sbworkersunited.org barista does. It would take less than one day of sales to finalize a fair contract.
Baristas at Starbucks corporate stores nationwide are on strike to fight this corporate greed and get the fair contract they deserve.

Soon, we'll oversee a budget of more than $100 billion — and every dollar will reflect our commitment to working New Yorkers and delivering universal childcare. Good thing some little New Yorkers gave me a counting lesson today!

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

I’m so proud of my daughter in Seattle.
She doesn’t have much money (she’s a preschool teacher with a preschooler of her own) but she has a big bag of Costco flour — so she’s baking sourdough bread and cinnamon rolls every week for people in her neighborhood who are furloughed or lost SNAP…

![John Wick is a fairy
FanTheory
Pasting from this Twitter thread:
Only works for favours, tallied thru gold coins
Can be bound by blood promises against his will
Lives in a world unseen by passers-by
Values sacred ground & rituals
Has a special bond w/ animals
Does not tire or feel pain as a human would
Above all, the other fairies all speak in awed tones of him as the only one to "get out". Through sheer strength of will he crossed over into our world for the love of a human.
Further evidence: administration is run with 2000-era flip phones, 1980s computers, 1930s switchboards. Because it's all stolen technology.
Can only be harmed by weapons containing iron
Is hot in a frightening way
Don't steal his shit
Remarkable loyalty and adherence to the Rules of his World, even to his detriment.
Presents as asexual. (We know he loves a human woman, but there's been zero discussion of 'I wanted a family'. The dogs aren't even presented as surrogate children.)
[The third film] reveals that he is very careful with who knows his true name
the High Table is the Faerie Court, with all their internal games and betrayals and, above all, absolute maintenance of the power system that keeps them in charge
speaks all languages (gift of tongues)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4bxxo7x3xtkzflys3mnyplwf/bafkreibmj63ouu6k7ss7urgifxfx35mnu3npzj2kmdaccrh7bgrkc3mx74@jpeg)
