BY THE WAY

If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2.

There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security.

Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation."

TURN IT OFF.

Thei wante us talkinge alone on our phones to a demon thei created, and not goinge places and being wyth each othir yn art and joy and communitye. Thei want cinemas to shut downe, and broadwaye to go darke. Thei want wryteres to stop writinge. Thei want to sell us hell and have us pay for it.

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

If you begin Star Trek: Voyager episode Spirit Folk at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's Eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. Join in our very dumb annual tradition and start 2025 off on the right hoof.

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important.

My son and I just binged it and it was great. It's like having the Mirror Universe flavor of Star Trek applied to Star Wars, but with even more bonkers changes! A complete delight and if that doesn't get you, these three words should:

Darth Jar Jar.
This headline says it all! But allow me to say more. All four episodes of LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy are available right now FOR FREE ON YOUTUBE!! I would love more people to see it, especially families over the holidays. Please spread the word!

The fact that Disney bought Star Wars and bought the Muppets and haven’t done a Muppets Star Wars is a crime.

Writers: yes, you are still a "real" writer if you
- have never published anything
- have no readers
- didn't write anything this month
- didn't write anything this year
- can't articulate words anymore
- can only float and mournfully wail
- were murdered ten years ago on this very spot

Also hello, all artists and writers! Please share widely -- we would love to get a variety of both of you!

Do you like SIENSE? Do you like CREATIVITY? Are you not too horrified at the idea of working with a huge bug? (This is paid!)
