“lol if America does socialized medicine we’ll have wait times.” Hey, galaxy brain, I have been having 3-4 weekslong periods and can’t even get in to see a gynecologist before I leave in August. The wait times are here.

I feel it's important to admit that even those of us who have written over twenty novels still sometimes look at the day's work and flail like a toddler, yelling I DON' WANNA. Discipline is good and necessary, but the inner sloth-beast is never fully vanquished.

All the people I still know in LA laugh and laugh when they hear that "Los Angeles is burning." I made a couple of maps to show just how tiny and localized the protests are. GOPers are working really hard to make an excuse for declaring martial law. People should be very wary of that.

It’s official. Studio Execs are now using Chat GPT to evaluate screenplays. Here’s proof from a friend’s pass letter: Not only is it vague and unhelpful, it references one specific — an antique camera. The problem? THERE’S NO ANTIQUE CAMERA IN THE FUCKING SCRIPT.

zuckerberg has set billions of dollars on fire on gibberish and copycat garbage, can't competently manage the scale of his primary business, has zero ethics or original ideas, and can't innovate his way out of a paper bag yet U.S. "business journalism" never makes any of that clear

@guygavrielkay.bsky.social your new one arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I'm currently in the middle of reading something but as soon as I'm done with that the new Kay treasure goes RIGHT to the top of the TBR pile, putting everything else in second place. I'm positively twitching to read it.

Part one of a two-fer "Learn Something" post up on my Patreon now - part tw coming soon - and it is really worth it, throwing a buck or two into the kitty to subscribe to my Patreon just for these two posts alone... consider it... :)

I remember seeing photos of a comet hitting Jupiter, not having to wait for newspaper reports. I remember "home pages" being places where people collected cool things. I remember Usenet conversations conducted in essays. I remember the Internet pre-monetization, and it was joy.

In anticipation of Caturday, I give you the resident Maine Coon floof goofy perching her considerable mass on top of a scratching post. Yes, I mean ON TOP OF the scratching post. I... can't even. I don't know where she stashed her royal dignity.
