Some authors say they need to use AI for their covers because they can’t afford an artist. To prove that’s not true, I offered authors FREE designs. I promised that they wouldn't be great, but they’d be better than AI. I used tools any author can access. The results were fast, cheap, and easy.

🖖 RIP Walter Koenig - #StarTrek's Chekov Passes Away at Age 90 💖 Koenig portrayed Ensign Pavel Chekov in The Original Series, all six original Star Trek films, and voiced President Anton Chekov in #StarTrekPicard! 1936 - 2026 💔

Rest in Peace Walter Koenig. Thank you for navigating us through the final frontier, for your years of activism, writing, and memorable characters like the joyous Chekov and the sinister Bester. We're forever grateful that you lent your talents to our game. We'll see you again, in the stars.

This hurts so much. Farewell to an incredible actor, and a sci-fi icon.

My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

We tried "everyone is entitled to an opinion" for three straight decades and all we have to show for it is four thousand cases of measles and a death cult running the government. It's time for people who don't know what they're talking about to shut the fuck up.

"I was told," said the princess, "that the point of fairy tales is not to tell children dragons exist, but that they can be killed." "Oh, absolutely!" said the dragon. "You agree?" "These rich, selfish, powerful, cruel beings that need killing, did you think they're literally dragons, princess?"

EA's closure of BioWare is transparently a vile move to shutter the studio that made by far their queerest titles. In the wake of this, I implore you: MAKE MORE QUEER ART. Make it trans. Make it horny. Make it scary. Make it loving. Make it with every inch of yourself. Flood the world with it!

HOT TAKE NO ONE ASKED FOR I think boys & young men should also be given book role models about: finding love adventures where they actually talk about their feelings give hugs to their guy friends AND girl friends AND ALL OF IT'S TREATED AS NORMAL #WritingCommunity #writersky #books #hopecore

Was it ever a surprise that Epic went full AI slop? They routinely use stuff from hundreds of other IPs, created by hundreds of far more skilled artists and designers, with none of the meaning or soul behind them, just like AI does. But this one is especially ghoulish.

Things that weren't in that "flying" car: A driver An engine A chassis Any significant weight whatsoever A magnet took it up that ramp. Compressed air slowed its fall, but it did fall. The compressed air was probably recharged by an external unit. That drag race was pure show.

Why does Korea have a holiday for the alphabet? Because unlike other writing systems that evolved over centuries, Hangul was the work of one dude who solved mass illiteracy by sitting down and creating a brand new fully-formed system from scratch that anyone can learn almost instantly.

Happy Hangul Day! It's a Korean holiday honoring the best and easiest alphabet in the world! Everyone in Korea gets the day off work to contemplate it, but it only takes fifteen minutes to learn! So today, learn to read Korean in 15 minutes!

The fact that this comes afyer a highly popular AI app files for bankruptcy, without a dingle shred of introspection or consideration, shows that these utter flannels didn't think anything through and are not on the side of authors. Bollocks to all of you.

Our position on generative AI remains unchanged. But an increasing number of organisations within the publishing industry are using the technology. In her blog post our CEO sets out why we want to see the adoption of cross-industry standards. buff.ly/DCPZPY2

We understand the strength of feeling this AI Charter has provoked & that more explanation is needed. We will publish a blog tomorrow detailing why, in a vacuum of regulation, this charter demands more transparency & accountability from organisations on how they are using AI now and in the future.

Definitely check this out, it's easily some of my best work!

Metallica just used it's Sphere concert, sending another heavy Zionist message by taking a pro-genocide stance against Palestine on stage. Front Man, James Hetfield, alluding that artists like Rage Against The Machine and Macklemore are "Antisemites" and "Bullshit" www.billboard.com/music/rock/m...
