I told Boyfriend that he likes The Outrunners because now he can like Hulk Hogan again without actually liking Hulk Hogan. This made him a bit flustered but he said my assessment wasn't wrong.

This is a thing I don’t think the AI adopters don’t understand: you’re not getting a *good* story when you use it. You’re getting a story that a good editor, even if they approved of AI, would almost certainly reject.
Since the AI posts are still rolling, here are some hopefully final clarifications.
1- Uncanny hasn't rejected a story because we suspected AI use. These stories were rejected for the usual reasons we would pass on a story.

I have to do this every time Newsweek comes across my feed. Calling them a “news org” these days is a pretty big stretch. https://bsky.app/profile/very-simple.com/post/3kxva324w742d
I guess I haven’t done this on bluesky, but here’s the first of a regular reminder that Newsweek is a zombie brand that got bought by a right wing cult. https://www.motherjones.com/media/2014/03/newsweek-ibt-olivet-david-jang/

This is your reminder that thesaurus dot com is (almost certainly) using AI to generate thesaurus entries, and you should, if you can, use Merriam Webster to avoid accidentally destroying the planet via the fuckery machine.
We now live in a world where I, a novelist, can no longer keep an open tab for thesaurus dot com because they autoplay video ads. I was immersed in chapter seven when an ad somehow broke through AdBlock Plus to scream at full volume. I hate, despise, and abhor this.

As we approach Banned Books week, here's my annual reminder:
If you're going to partake, buy and read banned books from *living* authors. The Bradbury and Vonnegut estates don't need your money, but Maia Kobabe probably does.

That's right - believe it or not there are many cases where the thrill of likes and reposts do not outweigh the potential real world consequences, regardless of how unlikely they are!

Having big boobs is annoying because you get to deal with constant back pain & when you suggest not wanting that anymore, random dudes climb out of the sewers to say "don't change what the lord gave you." Like, sorry Hank, but I didn't ask to be all titted up.

@tkingfisher.com So someone found this in Michigan and it seems to be identified as an embedded crinoid fossil. I, however, suspect it to be the Biting Pear's cousin, the Biting Rock.

Adobe is getting so much flack for their AI features that in sponsored social media posts they’ve stopped using the term ‘AI’ & now call it ‘text to vector art’ 🙄
Don’t let them dodge pushback because of this rebrand attempt & imo they can still fuck ‘emselves for stealing work from their customers

My kiddo loves to sing and hum. It makes her happy. But she has no sense of pitch, key, or tone so it's always painful to hear after a while.
This is just a confession. I have no intention of stopping her.

Every “person” you see in this is a job an actor didn’t get.
Every “object” you see cost prop masters work.
Every “set” you see is a place no crew was paid to work.
The machine that made it was trained with stolen images.
Fuck this video. Fuck the ghouls who made it. And fuck Toys-R-Us forever.

All these years on and people still out here thinking that epistemic pluralism— the idea that "there may be multiple right answers"— necessitates epistemic relativism— the idea that "all answers are equally correct". But it doesn't.
