I'm not sure who turned my words into a meme, and included U.S. citizens (most of whom do not want a new war!), but I appreciate how many people are connecting with it.
May all of us, in all of our different situations, somehow help bring the justice this world so desperately needs. 💔

Yup. When I read about folks getting book deals due to follower counts, I have to both cry and laugh. My 46K+ followers on Twitter and 28K+ followers here have not remotely manifested in massive sales lmao. The idea that followers mean you’re doing well monetarily - or will - is B A F F L I N G.
it is really weird that publishing decided that instead of having a marketing budget, writers should just become cult leaders

Yeah, but some people out there are now taking it upon themselves to censor authors who don't fit a certain marketable profile. Behold the genre rot, late-stage capitalism, and BookTok trickle-down economics:

One of the marks of a good installment in a long-running franchise is that it somehow makes better the things that inspired it.
Andor makes Rogue One, and the broader Star Wars saga, better by giving us a glimpse at the struggle beyond the laser swords and space magic.

Anyone using AI for anything should start by asking themselves two questions:
1) How often does the llm deliver inaccurate information?
2) How would it affect my business for these processes to be unreliable?

Hey, fanfic writers — heads up. Someone is cold-DMing AO3 users on Reddit pitching an “AI voice cloning” project to turn your fics into audio using celebrity and character voices without consent.
This is straight up theft.

Sci-fi dreams with eyes open. It asks 'what if' or WTF? and it sometimes leads to 'what's next.’ It’s not just spaceships and pew-pew, it’s people, culture, hope, doom, resilience, rage, love. It’s the sandbox for the future we'll be stuck in whatever we make it.
