Someone somewhere pointed out this cat looks like Hans Gruber at the end of Die Hard and I am reminded of this cat now any time I think of Alan Rickman or Die Hard.

I do not understand authors, broadcasters, voice artists, YouTubers, ANY creative artists using quick and cheap AI for their cover images and not realising: it will be you next.

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.

BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

I think the reason romantasy is dwarfing sales of fantasy & sci-fi is that it's a subset of romance.

And romance is the biggest, most profitable category in literature.

Romantasy allowed romance readers, who read very widely, to take cross-genre romance mainstream & it's reaping the rewards.

Sunday morning surprise: A book blogger discovered a novel I translated in 2010, and said they preferred the translation over the original, because the forensic terms are easier to understand in Indonesian. Thank you. 👀

It is very funny that this Pope is just going to get jerseys from now on. Everyone decided that's what this Pope likes and that is it. It's like if your grandmother got you a puzzle for Christmas one year and you said you liked it so your entire extended family is like "oh that's the puzzle kid"
Spike Lee just blessed Pope Leo with a custom Knicks jersey during his visit to the Vatican, just one week after the Pope was gifted a custom Chicago Bulls one.

Today is Indonesian Father's Day, so here's something my father taught me:
Once, while an episode of Mission: Impossible (forget which one it was, the 1990's or the 1960's one) was playing on TV, he told me, "Secretary means Minister of Foreign Affairs." Making sure I learn English early.

Suharto’s Fascist regime was one of the worst of the 20th century, whitewashed by international supporters from the US and well beyond.

This is fucking evil and monstrous. It also feels like a reaction to the uprisings in Indonesia and goes with the Black Scare against perceived Anarchists.
Then despite many protests, letters & much opposition, it is expected that President Prabowo will announce Soeharto a national hero in Indonesia tomorrow...

Which is horrific given the huge amount of death & suffering Soeharto inflicted on so many while in power.

A reminder: AI is a bad translator--it will give you in a pinch the meaning (if it doesn't get hopelessly confused) , but i will not create something that reads like a book.
That's why we have professionals.
(And everyone who's reread ai translations knows that it's faster going to rewrite them)

Bon, je n'en peux plus de soupirer. 🙃
