God these AO3 scam comments are getting more believable. All that targeted good commentary and it still turns out to be a "get you to a secondary location to make you commission them" scam 😑 #AO3

Nothing quite like walking up to find someone's posted a dozen screenshots of their friend absolutely dragging Sorcerer's Bane in my personal discord.
The person critiquing probably never meant it to be shared with me. But man. Now I feel terrible.

I'll say it: I think its rly annoying and frankly amateurish that writers are constantly told their villains must be understandable or have sympathetic motivation to be interesting or realistic when all our big villains irl are in fact rich, stupid, selfish, trickster dillweeds and always have been

I am opposed to AI products and services because of the extra power they require... IN A CLIMATE CRISIS. I am opposed to AI results - texts and illustrations - because they've been created unethically, via theft and non-consensual use of the work of others. Share if you agree.

Subtle bit of linguistic sleight-of-hand from the dogwhistle queen there... from "have a relationship with" to "in a relationship with".

I just saw someone describe an author as a "shill for big copyright" because she (the author) wants to be paid for her books instead of having them pirated and I think that's enough internet for today. It's only 8:30 in the morning but the loathing that person expressed for authors was too much.

Lol, 221bcon has been announced, and once I would have gone in a heartbeat but now I'm like "the usa would charge me $250 on top of all the other expenses, and then I'd be in America and they might arrest me at the airport and have me disappeared"
So no.
So no.

the incredible thing about starfield is that even the modders, who have kept every bethesda game alive for years, looked at it and were like, nah
imagine being Bethesda, the only thing people want is the next elder scrolls and you spend a decade going "no no that'll come after the super cool thing, you'll LOVE the super cool thing" then the super cool thing is Starfield, a game you probably forgot existed until just now

Like if you're the friend always reaching out for meet ups and stuff, and if you stop no one reaches out to you, does that mean the friendship isn't any good?

behold the "HTML bomb"
It's a counterattack for AI companies that persistently scrape and rescrape your web site, even when you tell them not to
when a scraper grabs it, it becomes a 10-gig HTML page and 💣 goes the scraper

So far the UK government has restricted access to:
- online mental health resources
- addiction recovery resources
- suicide prevention resources
- reproductive health resources.
Tell me again how that's supposed to keep children/teens safe?
