This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

I absolutely adored the first two episodes of murderbot!! It was a bit more comedic than I'd hoped, but I think it worked well.

Went to write up the story about Moon Studios being about to close after review bombing.
Discovered that there wasn't any review bombing, and that they aren't running out of money, and that Mahler wants to prove he's not a Nazi by being shitty about trans people.

I've been raging about this all day. We need our own community.
Putting aside the obvious moral issues associated with AI use, I truly think that AI-assisted play is more akin to guided/duet play than other forms of solo ttrpg. There's a GM. It's just not human.

OK, this is wild.
In September 2023, geophysicists across the world started monitoring a very odd signal coming from the ground under them.
It was picked up in the Arctic. And Antarctica. It was detected everywhere, every 90 seconds, as regular as a metronome, for *nine days*.
What the HELL?

Hehe I guessed who the murderer was as soon as they were introduced, but I didn't know the "how" or the "why". Very satisfying and fun.

I'm switching from ebook to audiobook for this entry, as it just became available at the library! I've heard good things about the narration, so I'm looking forward to it.

Question for Murderbot fans: Can I read System Collapse before Fugitive Telemetry? I think Libby will deliver them out of order, but I'm too eager to wait.

If you have anything Harry Potter please burn it.
jk rowling funded a case going before the supreme court that argues it should be legal to discriminate against and persecute trans ppl.
yet still we have to listen to ‘centrists’ claiming she isn’t bigoted she just has ‘a difference of opinion’.
no trans ppl have a voice in these proceedings.
