Remember buying a CD and it’d be wrapped in that plastic that was sort of a pain to open but then once it was off there was also a sticker sealing the case shut that you had to, like, peel off at a real specific angle to get it all in one go or it’d be a pain to remove?
Anyway I’m turning to dust.

If they don’t wanna fight they shoulda been cool.

"It is against the TOS to be talked into suicide by our LLM" is possibly the most evil tech bro thing I've ever read
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

I genuinely cannot express how much better the editors on The Dreaming Dead made that book.
Maple Intersectionality Consulting did the sensitivity edit
Isabella Betita did the copy
Hilary Doda did the proofreading
Aaaaall of it was invaluable.
Shout out to editors.

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

I've been on an X-men bullshit run lately, and we really aught to have a modern X-men fighting game.
If this was most of the roster, who would you give the last 3 spots to?
Winners get drawn in!

Friday someone showed up to work sounding real raspy and today I woke up with a sore throat and a cough. This really didn’t need to happen.

I don’t want us relying more on AI for human connection because empathy and socialization is already at a cry for help. So many ppl don’t know how to talk to others in grief, depression, hardship, crisis as it is. Society as a whole is getting more awkward and afraid of human interaction

Every night I ask my wife if she wants me to cook dinner or help her cook and she never takes me up in either UNTIL tonight when she asked me to make dinner.
The time of my victory is now. My ancestors will smile upon me. No obstacle is too great to prevent my triumph.

Found out this weekend that my dad needs open heart surgery for a life-threatening condition and insurance is only paying for 50%.
I'm trying to raise what I can to help him afford it. If you want to help donations are appreciated.

Reading Bonnie Quinn’s “How to Survive Camping” and it’s good so far. The last horror book I read was shockingly sterile and fully not scary so it’s kind of a relief this one is actually pretty creepy.

I say small but I would LOVE to see a cow or goat. A bear maybe. A vulture possibly. What a dream.
On one hand the unending horrors
On the other sometimes you see a small animal
