The picture in the article was posted to /r/starterpacks in October 2019. I think the subreddit was a bit more fashion focused then, so it really fit the subreddit's style. Some linkrot but I think this is the earliest. [3/4]

This was the original article, btw. I am not equating anything or drawing some conclusion. I don't have the international/historical knowledge to do that. This is from September 2019. [2/4]

It's difficult, but I am reading and watching what's happening. Thinking about it reminded me of another very different protest and gear breakdown pic that broke containment. A CBC article's breakdown of gear pic was shared around a lot. 🧵 [1/4]

I’ve been looking into markdown->InCopy workflows, and I found this tool called pandoc. I’ve not tried it yet but it’s really compelling. github.com/jgm/pandoc/w...

No help for tables though. That dragon we must face alone.

The unfortunate squirrel is very angry, but that kinda helped sell the story to those goons.

Been playing a campaign of Forbidden Lands for a few sessions now. Some goons from a nearby lord wanted to capture a Whiner, these little buddies we made friends with in a valley. We tricked them: they've never seen Whiners before, so we captured a squirrel, shaved it, and threw it in a bag.

With over 10,000 signatures, I believe this petition *requires* a parliamentary response. It’s only been open for three days. If you’re Canadian, sign it and stand with us.
this is a Canadian petition to uphold charter rights for transgender and minority communities

This article is mind blowing

SF writer didn’t do research on a technology before using it? Did she forget why we write science fiction?
I think dog piling on a single author is bad, but Kowal, take the L, move on, and learn from this.
There was no “time before we knew how ChatGPT worked”. The minute the public was aware of it they were aware of the dataset issues and the accuracy issues. Even wanting a computer to write part of your book, all that aside, is proof of a weak mind and even weaker artistic skill.

The #1 movie when you were 10 is how your 2026 is going to go.

Nothing is inevitable. We can stand up for what is right.
And just like that, SFWA capitulates. Keep fighting. It works.

Don’t worry, instead of sticking around and fixing this mess, Alan Dye is just going to work for another company. Maybe he can mess it up there too.
