Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" and This is Horror called me "Australia's master of literary darkness." The graphic below shows all my stuff and how it interacts. I hope you'll give something there a go. More here: alanbaxter.com.au

We've got a new neighbour. Always a potentially fraught time. Just met him and he's lovely. I guess that means he came off worse. Probably posting now something like: Met the bloke from next door, fucking weird cunt fml

I don't know whether to feel better or worse that this Official Wizards of the Coast Image (from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist) is intentionally homaging Zardoz.
It's making me taste metal and my sinuses are throbbing and I want it to go away.

This is a really good point that I had not run into before: these "creators" have no further insight into their alleged creation than the average audience member and that is why it cannot be called art (besides all the other obvious reasons).

Man its like just so invasive and gross feeling to see "Edit Image" appear over other people's images. Musk decided to give us the only kind of gift he can for christmas, sickening disappointment. Best of luck out there folks.

Just fucking leave twitter already.
Users are noticing Twitter/X has added a Grok-powered AI image editor that lets anyone edit any image on the platform, including other people’s artwork using text prompts.
Artists warn there’s no opt-out or consent, raising concerns over unauthorized edits and misuse.

Bari Weiss’ two accomplishments so far are hosting an interview that she desperately wanted people to watch (but they didn’t) and trying to spike a news story that she desperately wanted nobody to watch (but they did)
