so while most of you have been absolutely lovely — and thanks for that btw! — it is sadly time for the quarterly reminder: if you are being "playfully" rude in the replies of someone you have not met, you are just being rude. you have not yet earned the good faith required for joking rudeness!

Just a reminder that Krystalia's art is stolen via generative AI. There should be more "features" on this.

Ideas are cheap. Execution matters.
Years ago someone "gave me an idea" for something and then immediately demanded that if I did anything with it I should give him 50% of anything I earned from it. So I simply didn't use it and had other ideas instead, because ideas are the easy bit.
It’s always just so funny to me that AI using “writers“ often defend it with but how else are you meant to come up with ideas?? Like that’s what tells you that you weren’t really meant to be a writer, you have none.

this fact is the definitive judgment on kirk's life
ultimately, no one even grieved Charlie Kirk. he was just another thing for the worst people on earth to get outraged over. and when the outrage of real events wasn't enough, they invented new ones.
not even his wife saw his death as anything other than an opportunity.
