I’m proud that I chose to learn Norwegian.
(Jeg er stolt over at jeg valgte å lære norsk).
The words “$1 trillion dollar pay package” have no business ever being strung together in a sentence.

Fitting that such a great writer would have such a well-written take on this.
Thread about AI art in SF/F magazines and the assumption that authors have a ton of power to stop this.
Many people in the genre saw this post from the editor of Interzone rightly taking Asimov's to task for using what appears to be a cover with AI art. 1/

Finished this one from @mikebrooks668.bsky.social the other day.
Really enjoyed it - his depiction of Blackheart was intriguing, and he had me cheering for Griza Dallax. A credit to Holy Mars, that one.

Guys, calm down, you heard the Treasury Secretary - the market’s just “detoxing.”

Getting tired of seeing people say we need to get rid of the USPS.
