I don't like doing this, but when a friend comes to me in distress because their publisher is using AI to promote an anthology they're in, I feel compelled to call it out. Weird House Press has used AI before and continues to do so. See below. Keep that in mind if you want to work with them.

On August 12, 1971, 16-year-old me mailed the first story I ever wrote off on its first submission to my dream market, F&SF. My tale was quickly rejected. On July 17th, 2025, I finally sold a story to that magazine. Here's why I felt I had to withdraw that story. www.scottedelman.com/wordpress/20...

Chicagoans are making, sharing, and printing designs for whistles that can warn people when ICE is in the area. The goal is to “prevent as many people from being kidnapped as possible.”

None of the feckless Dem leadership seems to give a shit, but once the right finishes MAGA-fying Tik Tok, a whole generation of kids will quickly be lost to hate and intolerance. It's going to be a disaster.

Spotify is crashing HARD because of the boycott. Their stock dropped 11% in value over the last month. Let’s keep this going!
Tell everyone you know to boycott Spotify. There are plenty of alternatives that don’t run ICE advertisements and screw over artists.

I've posted about this before but I'm going to say it again: please please please stop livestreaming, posting, and sharing videos of ICE / CBP abductions, especially ones that share / don't blur or hide the faces of the people being abducted. 🧵
