Be careful out there. These types of scams are getting harder and harder to see.
It is fascinating to me how many different kinds of scams aimed at authors exist these days, given that most of us are broke. www.theguardian.com/books/2025/n...
Lost in the plot: how would-be authors were fooled by AI staff and virtual offices in suspected global publishing scam
Book publishing websites in Australia, the UK and New Zealand appear to be using fake testimonials and AI staff pages to lure aspiring writers into handing over their money

The number of times "You can't make this shit up" is applicable seems to continually increase. Granted, the motel isn't self-described as haunted, but we are talking clowns here.

I don't like this. We currently have a problem of rightwing billionaires(are there any other kind?) buying media properties, which doesn't bode well for that content (EA's purchase by the Saudis and Kushner?).

#Disney is officially phasing out Hulu. I did wonder about them maintaining a second, distinct platform for so long. I am a bit pained to see that Hulu is more than 20 years old. 🙃
I still don't have a Disney+ account and I won't for Jimmy Kimmel's sake.

There's a new The Oatmeal about AI art, which gets at the thing that ends up bothering me the most about AI art, which is that art that isn't the product of human creativity has no meaning or import.
