I don't think I've ever disagreed and agreed more strongly with a piece, seesawing from one paragraph to the next.

I am putting together a large multimedia journal project made up entirely of quotes from “The Cold Equations” by Tom Godwin and quotes from other people about the famous hard SF story.
Just because I felt like it.
Is that the geekiest journal project ever? 🧐

I'm sure many people have mentioned this, but I think it needs to be mentioned again: women do not have yearbooks. Children do. Because yearbooks contain photos of high school students. Or younger.
This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Ugh, I can’t stand this publishing startup. They pay people to write fan fiction — they tried to commission a story from me. 831 Stories was founded by MBA brains who saw how lucrative romance is as a genre, and their branding targets lit snobs who think they are better than romance.
831 Stories is all-in on the romance genre, and the founders are cultivating a whole world around the books they publish, complete with fanfiction and merchandise.

Speaking of 831stories. I saw this on threads and thought I should share because I am not only a professional author, I am also a fanfic writer. And this is a publisher, a creator, trying to control and profit from fanfic.
This is predatory and disgusting.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
