I just found out that somebody is posting really hateful, racist emails spoofing my website email address. This is public notice that if anybody gets something heinous purporting to be from me, with an email address @ my website URL, I most definitely did not send it.
The situation with the illustrated edition of A FEAST FOR CROWS is astounding. At every step of the process, the absolutely wrong decision was made by every person involved. It's the CATS of publishing!

The finale of the great TV comedy show Blackadder goes Forth.
Back then I didn't expect one of the funniest programmes ever to end with a scene that makes me cry every time I see it.

I'm so angry about the statement from Raya Golden on GRRM's website denying (or at least disclaiming knowing) that the illustrations for the 20th anniversary edition of A Feast For Crows were made with AI that I ran all of the images available though Hive Moderation's online AI content detector. 1/

Official statement from Raya Golden, the person who is in charge of art approval for GRRM, about the use of AI in the A Feast For Crows illustrated edition. To call this disappointing is a massive understatement. I am absolutely LIVID.

I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

Artist be like if I shift this line 0.05 cm to the left, increase overlay by 2%, and move this character’s head slightly by 3° will make a life changing difference that everyone notices

Holy shit. Check out the new A Feast For Crows illustrated edition. Way to kill your career in the most high-profile way possible. And I'm talking about EVERYBODY involved, except GRRM, who I have to assume wasn't.

When you’re riding public transit you realize that what’s good for everybody is also good for you. If the bus runs faster, if the train is cleaner, if the AC works, we all benefit

The Times parsed the vote using similar categories and again found that the single most determinative factor economic-like factor in the election was "commute by transit" vs "commute by car." It edged out renters vs. homeowners. There's still outstanding data but I expect these trends will hold.

Spoiler alert: they haven't actually read any of it.
Death of the author etc, yes yes, but it remains fascinating to me how not a single tech billionaire seems to understand any fiction they have ever read.
The "hard-men" of Gondor were getting their shit kicked in until they were rescued by foreigners and a girl.
The Shire was doing fine until they let a fascist demagogue ("Sharkey" aka Saruman) take over, close the gates, impose a bunch of thug-enforced rules, and despoil nature for profit.
