I bought a #macbook this last Sunday. I wa using a iPad with a keyboard attachment but it's just not cutting it any more. So, say hello to Duroc the MacBook. He comes in midnight blue.

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.

r/kindle mod is spiraling.

If they were consistent, they wouldn’t be endorsing jailbreaking at all, regardless of what the user intends to use their jailbroken device for.

r/kindle: “Jailbreaking is fine, but explaining things is bad.”

This is what happens when someone who has studied the French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars is set loose on #dungeonsanddragons

Behold, a guide to tearing apart the shitty worldbuilding of #forgottenrealms and how to build better.

Vive la Révolution!

The penultimate chapter!

Chapter 45 of “Blood-Dimmed Tides!”

I kinda let loose my inner Camille Desmoulins for this one, followed by a 600+ word author’s note on FR’s terrible world building.

Enjoy.
