Being on a fixed salary is ALWAYS a scam:
Either you're in charge and trying to hide your true income from the IRS.
OR you're being exploited by that guy^ for unpaid overtime.
THAT'S IT!

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

For those who don't know, Cursed Morsels is based out of Minneapolis. You've probably noticed that shit's kinda fucked here. That said, thousands of people are organizing with their neighbors to stop fascism and provide mutual aid, which is pretty goddamn cool. Let's keep it up. ❤️

Twitter is owned by a fascist, Facebook and the Washington Post have gone MAGA, and now CBS News is about to be turned into far-right state TV. Here’s why America has a liberal media bias problem.

Agreed.
I've seen some people saying that the new SFWA rule on "AI" in the Nebulas will prevent people from being transparent about their LLM use. Newsflash: They wouldn't have been anyway. It would cost them readers. It would cost them votes. It would potentially cost them opportunities with publishers.

Agreed.

It appears as though SFWA has had a very quick change of heart and is now back on the right side of this. Shouldn't have happened in the first place. New Nebula Awards eligibility rules for generated text are now:
