Let’s swap out the fragile, slowly maturing frontal cortexes of society’s teens and replace them with a soulless, sycophantic pattern recognizing machine designed by hubristic, Ayn Rand obsessed simpletons with no historical sensibility, & whose main motivation is profit maximization. This is fine.
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.
74 suicide warnings and 243 mentions of hanging: What ChatGPT said to a suicidal teen

This may not be the wildlife art many of you are used to seeing, but I really want to make more fantasy-esque animal and creature art like this!

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

In 2026 let’s do away with the “shameless self promotion” and go full on PRIDEFUL SELF PROMOTION.
There are so many behaviors in this world to be ashamed of; writing books and creating art and selling and promoting said books and art is not among them.

People ask me why I hate working in cybersecurity and it's because you can't protect your infrastructure when jackasses like this are the ones in charge of building it
Can't wait for the loosened up, non-perfect, but quickly shipped AI-enhanced updates to hit my banking and insurance services next year.
Im sure there will be no issues there at all.

Gotta say it is jarring to see people including GenAI images with their writing posts. If you think nothing of using a generated image, I have to wonder if you've actually written the words you are showing off 🤷♂️

My world has flashy elemental magic, yet my "favorite" way to kill off a character is a throat stabbing.
Also, I love exploring redemption and grief. Both are common themes.
Though I also have "bad" villains in the sense that they're "mustache twirly" and not sympathetic at all.

Okay #WritingCommunity, what is a gift you give to yourself in your writing? What tropes or details or motifs do you use simply because you love them?
I love the tiny badass woman trope. I include the trope all the time.
I also love roses, and include them frequently as symbols and motifs.

I think it’s important to insist on recalling, at all available opportunities, that this was specifically an attack on a trans instructor over an assignment about gender. Neither of those details are incidental; they are the center of the story
If you’re wondering why your friends in academia are a little on edge right now, it’s because an eighteen-year-old who hasn’t done the reading, doesn’t look at the assignment, and has does no critical thinking skills more complex than “because I think it’s in the Bible” can literally end your career
The University of Oklahoma has removed an instructor who was accused by a student of religious discrimination over a failing grade on a psychology paper in which she cited the Bible and argued that promoting a “belief in multiple genders” was “demonic.” https://cnn.it/4b6g3rd
