Kyle Crane and his Zofia.

The way he looks at her can make a mountain move out of the way. Done by the amazing @rageflippedtables.bsky.social. Thank you. So. So. Much.

Kyle Crane and Zofia Sirota. They're seated in front of a brick wall and wooden trellis overgrown with wild roses. She holds a book up, concealing half her face. Her eyes shift to the side, towards Kyle, an eyebrow raised at him. Kyle has his arm propped on her shoulder and his head turned to her. He's staring at her like she's the only thing left in the universe and wears a smile. The book she holds reads: Half Man! Half Beast! All Nightmare, with Nightmare taped over and Cuddle Bug written over it.

… I got so many new followers, they’re all apparently politically active accounts and I’m so confused. Not on any new starter packs, either. What is happening I post about Kyle Crane and Dying Light 🥹

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice.

Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

"they will be, one day"

no, they won't, any more than tires can help you fly. They're not built for that. They're a fundamentally different technology. An LLM does not exist to model conscious thought, it exists to take advantage of your willingness to see faces in things that aren't there.

There's a Dying Light: We Don't Stop in Hell chapter hiding under the 🎄.

In which Kyle Crane shakes hands with Conviction and a man and his bird see a crushing end.

(If you look close you'll even see :gasp: the valley's beastie :gasp:)

A brass statue in profile; it depicts a man with an arm stretched to the camera, grasping a sword. The brass has aged and is blue. In the background we see a row of old houses, backed by the rising sun throwing a golden glow over the roofs.

Daily bunny no.3176 catching the sun
A bunny with a bug-catching net sits in the top branch of a tree. Holding up the bug net, they are trying to catch the sun that is (seemingly) next to them in the sky. However, the sun is still a little too high up

Regular reminder that the majority of the people who dreamed up the stories you love are, like, BROKE broke, and that most of the money spent on their work was given to Some Guy™️ instead.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

Buckle up, swordfighting fans, because I *have* studied my Agrippa!
