Despair is our source code.
The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

How depressing is it when you’re like the only department in the US government that’s trying to keep citizens alive?
If you bought a new TV for the Super Bowl, make sure you anchor it to the wall.

So, with $28,000 of unavoidable, unexpected expenses in three weeks, I gotta run a Kickstarter for Pathfinder 1e material I've written already, but never sold as a book....

My granddaughter is full of adorable mayhem, but nothing will beat her uncle at that age: he used to put a plastic bucket on his head and run into, then bounce off the walls. You cannot explain preschoolers. You can only survive them.

The problem with really, really loving a book (as I loved reading The Bookshop Below by Georgia Summers) is that it’s very hard to settle into a new fictional world after.
Nonfiction it is, then. Anyone got a factual favorite they’ve read recently?

On January 24th, my parents home burned down. They and my disabled brother escaped with only minor burns but they lost everything they've ever had.
I'm running a GoFundMe to help them recover and rebuild. I would be deeply grateful for any donations but also for any shares!

Took a break from reading to explain the Barings Bank debacle to the Plague. I love fiscal malfeasance!
I’m hoping that the fantasy novel I’m starting to read tonight holds my interest. With so much awful stuff going on, it’s important to figure out how to maintain equilibrium.
