Romance is one of the greatest fiction genres and it literally keeps the publishing world going. If it's not your bag, that's fine, but it's not a lesser-than genre and some of the best writers around work in it. Human connection is always worth telling stories about.

This is presumes that all creative output must be availed to the public. This is stupid. You do not owe everyone a behind-the-scenes look at your development if you don’t want to.

fandom on social media has been so interesting because sometimes people really have some insightful and valid criticisms about fan behavior and sometimes people just really want to be able to tell women they're too stupid to read novels like it's 1839 again

The form I'm in charge of wanted to do a secret Santa, so I set everything up, had them draw names anonymously and also participated. Today I got a Christmas themed mug with a bunch of red pens for marking inside 😂 I'm not even mad 😂

republicans believe children should be forced to carry pregnancies to term and should be allowed to be pushed into coercive marriages by their parents because they see children as fundamentally sexually exploitable and i am tired of pretending their transphobia has some other angle

I am an old man, @mozilla.org, and I was happy to sit in my rocking chair and use Firefox until sunset. But if you insist on choking this browser with GenAI bloat, I will face God and walk backwards into Linux.
@mozilla.org I have been using Firefox for YEARS. Not sure what the new CEO is hoping to achieve by "AI everything now" but if the hope is to drive people like me off your browser, you will surely succeed.

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

Concept Artists Say Generative AI References Only Make Their Jobs Harder
“The ‘early ideation stages’, when worlds are being fleshed out by writers and artists, are literally crucial to the development of a game’s vision,” said one artist.

Not the brightest bioluminescent bacterium in the photophore.
The most brutal way of telling someone they’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic that I’ve heard in French is t’es pas la truite la plus oxygénée de la rivière. It means “you’re not the most oxygenated trout in the river.”
