Had to Google Translate this, but it was a very gratifying message to read! "Now that I've gotten back into the system (using 90% of ToX), I think this is the best way to get a first taste of it. Not Marvel, not Leverage, not anything else—TorchLite is awesome for that."

I've always thought #BundleofHolding is dope, but it is especially awesome that they are doing a #PrideMonth bundle of LGBTQ-friendly #TTRPG books. And this is particularly great deal as well. @bundleofholding.com is good people. bundleofholding.com/presents/Pri...

Whenever I see "AI ethics concerns" it's always crap like "should Claude have a social security number?!" and not "should OpenAI all be in jail for marketing ChatGPT like it's your friend and designing it to prioritize continuous engagement above all else?"

Periodic reminder:Substack profits off Nazi pages bc they don't want to be "in the censorship business,"but they also won't host adult content,so they ARE in the "censorship business." They just think Nazis are better than pornographers. This is why I will never give Substack a single shiny nickel.

Expected it to be a little bruising to sell off 30% of my RPG collection but the most cutting moment came at the end of the day when an eleven year old kid looked into the tub marked ANY ITEM TWO DOLLARS, turned to me and said, "Why do you have all this stuff?"

I wish there was a secret formula for detecting AI writing at a glance but there just isn't one and spreading the idea that there is one just makes trouble for authors who like em dashes or hyphens or semicolons or whatever the tell is supposed to be this week.

Jordan Peterson was humiliated when he left his safe space, the same thing happened to Charlie Kirk. The more these people are challenged, the more they are exposed. This is why they rarely venture out of the right-wing bubble.

As someone said a while ago, it's not a content boom, it's a taste collapse. The people who think AI can replace the human touch haven't consumed a single meaningful piece of work in their adult lives.

AI evangelists are archetypal "Ideas Guys". The ones who are convinced they've come up with the best movie/comic/game concept ever, but just need actual talented people to make it for them. The inevitable lack of interest from creatives is, in their mind, the reason they've never succeeded.

As an FYI, I'm noticing more and more that words Microsoft Word highlights as mispelled are, in fact, correct and the spellcheck on Word is wrong. I suspect the incorporation of AI is dumbing spellcheck down to the point where I now always verify a spelling on m-w.com before accepting it.

The young men we are fretting over, who are a decided minority of young men, are very clear that they want the patriarchal bargain back, and they want it to benefit them personally What version of the Democratic platform could plausibly do that for them?

I see a lot of people blaming the comics industry for the 6-figure debt that Peter David’s medical struggle put him into. But please, please don’t forget to blame the United States, where not having affordable health care is a personal failing not a community issue.

Five years ago, George Floyd was murdered by Derek Chauvin. The number of people killed by the police has risen every year since then. Marjorie Taylor Greene (🤮) is advocating for the release of Chauvin. We still owe George Floyd so much justice. I. CAN'T. BREATHE.

I just did a reread of @scalzi.com’s Interdependency series. Doing this the same week that the GOP votes on the Murderous MAGA Budget Bill was utterly surreal. One of the characters makes the point that in the end times the only people worth saving are the wealthy. She isn’t exactly the hero. 🧵
