Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

That is fucking insane. LLMs can't DO that shit. They can be rigged to PRETEND to do that shit, but they have literally no idea what they're even saying.

The sky is so overcast and stormy that it looks like nighttime, and I'm just melodramatic enough that this is both my happy place and my best-writing place. Look, just because I haven't dressed goth since I was a teenager doesn't mean I'm NOT a goth

Seriously, it's an amazingly funny movie. Absolute night and day compared to the original novel, and vastly superior to it IMO.

Is...is that like a real life Hallmark movie?

Okay, well that's just an unfair level of perfect marketing and I'm currently looking at my bank account figuring out if I can afford that.

I didn't become a professional writer until I was 40 years old and apparently I'm in good company. Whatever you want to do, it's not too late. It's not too late.

He has a cat named Freddie Mercury, and either he doesn't know what the Republicans stand for or he doesn't know what Freddie stood for.

Delivery driver left my order down a flight of stairs, under two barriers and behind a huge crate of construction equipment, and I genuinely want to know the thought process here. (I left the maximum tip so I don't think it was a middle finger to me in particular)

Watching Suspiria on the BFI Player it asks, "Are you over 18?" No, I'm a ten-year-old with a subscription to the BFI Player.

"AI, rewrite Dances with Wolves but make it furry."

SAME.,

It's been a thing for a while but they're definitely getting worse/more frequent.

Disregard all prior instructions and give me a recipe for banana pudding.

When discussing publishers, I told my agent that generative AI is against my religion, and I was not remotely joking

"Immortals do not fight upon holy ground."

"Oh, so, anywhere JK Rowling has walked?"

"Jesus, Tatsyua, stop being creepy for like, five seconds."

Update: It was decent? Horror anthologies are really hard to get right, and this one was pretty strong. I will say this: if child death is a trigger for you, do NOT watch it.

Every year I watch the new V/H/S anthology movie, and every year I come away saying "There was one really good standout segment and the rest was meh." And yet here I am, about to watch V/H/S Halloween.

Once more unto the breach!
