The Undercover Aliens Bundle - When anyone could be an alien, who can you trust?
That's the question at the heart of one of science fiction's most enduring tropes.
It's enough to make a person question everything they took for granted.

If there were three lawyers, Thomas Dye, Edward Chitt, and Willard Eet, might the name of their firm sound in court like Eat Shit & Die? Asking on behalf of some extremely childish part of myself that may tantrum if I don’t.

Conventions, if you use AI do not be surprised if creators turn down your invitations to be guests or even to be on panels.
Do not use tools trained on stolen work from creators and then tell them you want to honor or uplift them - that’s not what you’re doing. You’re stealing and being lazy.

I'm on @buttondown.com and I dig 'em! Fantastic customer service. I don't charge subscribers for my newsletters so I can't speak to how they handle that, but I know they offer that option, too.
Reminder that there are options other than Substack:

Buttondown
Plus most hosting services make it relatively easy to add a newsletter onto your own website. And then you, you know, own it. And hopefully you are not a fascist-embracing tech edgelord?

In Vietnam, there are myriad little lakes formed from bomb craters—in which lotus flowers grow. That image sticks with me. The Zen master and peace activist Thich Nhat Hanh taught, no mud, no lotus. Without the mud, the flower cannot grow. What will we grow from the mud we are collectively in?
