Hi! I'm Alan, a horror writer from Tasmania. Talking Scared called me "The Lord of Weird Australia" and This is Horror called me "Australia's master of literary darkness." The graphic below shows all my stuff and how it interacts. I hope you'll give something there a go. More here: alanbaxter.com.au

There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

Which is why it was so effective when Harris kept calling them weird, but the Dem old guard felt it too and made her stop. Which is pretty weird when you think about it. They're all deeply weird and creepy and anything but cool. Uncool doesn't cover it. There needs to be many more levels below cool.
JCO proving what I’ve been saying for years when it comes to engaging with chuds - they don’t care if you think they’re stupid, or hypocritical, or evil (they’ll like it because they hate you). But if you find the way to accurately show how *uncool* they are, you can really really fuck with them.

Then it's not a fucking ceasefire, is it.
Since the ceasefire took effect one month ago, Israeli attacks have killed at least 242 Palestinians and injured 622.
How many times has Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire? Here are the numbers

Ohh, more of the The Gulp. I loved the first two books because I have a passing familiarity with rural Australia.
You should try them.
Like ... Night Vale, if it was Aussie.

Authors, Beware! There's a firm called "ClaimsHero" doing aggressive social media outreach claiming to
"help" you file to get $ in the Anthropic class action. In fact, it's a bait-and-switch, they are luring authors to sign up with them, then OPTING THEM OUT of the class action so they'll get zilch.

I'm getting 2 or 3 of these nonsense AI "book club" emails every day now. It's just a relentless flood of shit. All gen-AI is a relentless flood of shit. There needs to be a special hell for the techbros who make this garbage and every one of their enablers.

Everything I know about American politics I've learned against my will, because my feeds are full of it and America leaks into every aspect of life. Even still, I'm aware there's lots about American politics I don't know. But one thing is crystal clear from the outside: Schumer is a MAGA stooge.
