How am I supposed to write dark, dystopian, near-future speculative fiction in 2025? Christofacist takeover - already happened, AI "foom" scenario - in progress, asteroid heading to Earth - scheduled. I know! A teenage girl is chosen to save the USA, but is distracted by multiple love interests...

Pretty bold move, calling itself ALLspice. Personally, I would have gone with Somespice

I doubt I will ever become an enforcer for a brutal criminal organization. But, if it happens, I already know my signature threat: Break into the victim's house with a 18" serrated knife. Then cut ALL their bread into slices that are 15% wider than the slots in their toaster.

Mind blown - I just realized that the song Monster Mash is NOT the song that the monsters were dancing to. Monster Mash is a song about some other song that the monsters partied to. What was the original song? WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL SONG? youtube.com/watch?v=u8uv... #monster #mash

Because of our civilization's obsession with sans-serif fonts, it is nearly impossible to distinguish content generated by AI from content generated by people named Al.

I'm thinking this might be a good idea. A tournament to see who is the best monster (or monstrous entity). Thoughts on these matchups?

Godzilla vs. Satan - who would win? If this battle occurred in an urban area, what would the collateral damage be like? (Don't worry - this question is completely hypothetical. It is extremely unlikely that this fight would ever happen)

Horses that can do math, gorillas that use sign language, chimpanzees raised as humans: No animals have ever used their communication skills to ask a question. Except for Alex the Parrot. Why can't I be like Alex? www.anewkindofmonster.com/post/what-co...

If you haven't already hear it, I highly recommend checking out CreepCast's fantastic reading of several Glenmont stories. Not only do we get TWO stories but some, uh ... interesting, tangents too! www.youtube.com/watch?app=de... #creepy #story #nosleep

There are at least three search terms where #Google returns a link to my writing as the first search result: "Dumpy Diddle" "Mentanovox" "Cosmopathology" Am I totally winning the Internet or what? #scifi #horror #nosleep #fiction

1) I say: #Alexa start timer for 30 minutes 2) House #Internet goes down 3) Alexa timer goes off. It doesn't respond to voice commands to stop timer due to lack of Internet. I predict some form of this problem will kill people sometime in the next 3 years. In other words: No-Internet = #Death

Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he eats every day. That's all great, but, you know, if you teach the fish to eat men, you don't have to work about feeding anyone anymore. #cuttingedge #philosophy and #ethics!

I turned to the NICU staff. Their eyes were locked on me, hands holding their mouths or touching their foreheads. I said, “this infant is pregnant. And she is in labor.” youtu.be/ppSUqE-q_h8 #creepy #horror #nosleep

It's crazy to think that #NASA managed to successfully land men on the moon and return them safely to Earth without having text editors that inserted two double-quotes and positioned the cursor between them when the user typed "

In 2022, I wrote a #dystopian #SciFi story about #AI. Fortunately, only about half of it has come true so far. "True love, love that is unattenuated by human limitations, has only recently been discovered." www.anewkindofmonster.com/post/llm-lar... #LLM #ChatGPT #Sexbot #fiction #scifi
