Today, we have a historical, satirical, fantastical story from Angela James. “I Was Made for Loving You” imagines Gene Simmons from KISS as a Peter Pan figure. It’s wacky and fabulous!

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages
