A thousand book historians are nodding vigorously.

(we are legion, and more canny about the history of markets than you’d think for folks who also make literal formulae to represent how an individual book was constructed)

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 1d

Honestly if you want at least some insight as to why "classics of literature" are constructed as they are, it's worth knowing the market imperatives of the time. American science fiction and fantasy started in magazines and drugstore racks; short stories and 40K novels were how people go paid...

I feel like this probably explains a lot more of the so-called classics of literature than is immediately obvious on the surface. 🤔

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

Bed [1/4]

Cartoon crow looking sad is flying in a wobbly pattern.

As he flies, a strange arch is seen below.

The arch leads is a lighted room, despite it not being attached to a building. The crow is curious about it.

The crow looks into the arch thru its broken window.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Post from Tumblr user cryptotheism:

War is hell and valorization of military imagery is fundamentally a childish and reactionary thing, but transitional periods of military history are a rich field of study, and I can't pretend this image of horse mounted trench lancers doesn't go hard as fuck.

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 1d

“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”

How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves

AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

#MÖRKTOBER DAY 6: HUSK

Words by me. Art by @nohr.se

$Isak Skarvlund makes his home in a brick building with no windows on the edge of the Stained Field. By day he oversees the production of the Scar Wine and the running of his estate. When night falls he retreats inside and bolts the doors tight. In the quiet secrecy of his home he sloughs off his human skin. What shuffles forth from within is a clattering opalite thing, many-jointed and many-mouthed, glittering with the light of dead stars. It came here to hunt Glopstepalof, but the frog hasn't been seen for centuries and the alien intelligence has learned more mundane, human concerns - budgets, and staff rostering, and ensuring the yields from the Scar remain steady. In its dreams it remembers what it meant to be a god, but those ancient feelings fade with the coming of the dawn. THE OPALITE HP 66 Morale - Armor -d4 (light twists around it) Prismatic Appendage d8 Refracted Gaze: All within sight test Presence DR16 or become transfixed. Transfixed creatures stand motionless, weeping rainbow tears, taking d6 damage per round as their organs slowly crystallise.$

Actually, the Democrats did *not* vote to shut the government down. They voted *against* a CR that makes medical insurance financially unattainable for millions of Americans.
