Not surprising, this is the same organisation with such relentless A/B testing (they bragged about it) you could never count on sharing the same experience with your friends. Their business is maximising metrics and they don't care what the learning/social outcomes are for any individual user.

Dropping a link to my silly little 'sploding billionaires short story. It's a cool $0 to download, although you can make a donation if you'd one day like to see me, a billionaire, 'sploding myself. ๐Ÿ˜‰ kamibee.itch.io/money-belt

Ugh, looks like I'll finally get pushed to having a Draft2Digital account if I want to keep publishing through Smashwords. I GUESS I JUST WON'T, everything about D2D irrationally shits me. And having seen one of the founders waffling about ChatGPT on the twits I don't trust them either. ๐Ÿ™„

Finished the edits on my blowing-up-billionaires short story last night! ๐Ÿคญ Time to format for publication. ๐Ÿš€ #writing

Filling out my new story world will require me to define new (and theoretically functional) programming languages. I've always thought getting heavily into conlanging HUMAN languages seemed scary enough! ๐Ÿ™€ #writing

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older (pre-21st century) LGBT science fiction book I've managed to track down - currently just over 200 titles ๐Ÿš€ LINK: tinyurl.com/oldgaySF

Look I just think most of these TERFs are not that bright, if I had Nazis constantly turning up to events to back me up I would be a lot quicker at coming to an, "are we the baddies?" moment. ๐Ÿคท

Caught a snippet of the ongoing debate and wow Dutton is looking intensely awkward there. Must be painful knowing you're losing an election a literal potato could have figured out how to at least be competitive in. #auspol

Working on the gendie designs for Gender Reveal Party and I did THIS to the ungendered one's eyes on a lark and now I'm obsessed and can't bring myself to undo it. #gamedev

Not gonna quote the previous OP in this because for all I know she's a charming and respectful travelling companion, but I think it's funny how there is so much panic about Children On Planes when on almost every flight I've been on it's unruly and needy adults who cause the problems.

Been enjoying the diverse reactions to this one lol. ๐Ÿคญ My hot take is that people who are always highly social would live happier if they accepted that there's no moral imperative to be like them. It's not sad or wrong that not everyone matches your energy, it's good that we are all so different!

My poor kid has once again been foiled by the ghost ice cream truck that occasionally projects its melody into our neighbourhood but is never actually seen. Must be made by the same people who put the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow...

I'm going to make millions off a device that gets attached to every piece of hardware you buy that has batteries and just starts screaming uncontrollably if you forget to take the batteries out in a timely manner. THERE'S ALWAYS ONE MORE.

Bluesky is really delivering today with ideas for the annoying men I need to create for this new story. ๐Ÿคญ

I love getting the best idea for a new story right before bed, lying awake going IT WAS A CONSPIRACY! THE TIME-TRAVELLING ASSASSINS!!! ๐Ÿ™€ #writing

Trying to scam reflected glory for my wife's efforts this afternoon: this is the start of a restoration project very near to both our grubby little Acorn computer nerd hearts. ๐Ÿคญ

Modern design seems to be afraid of color in general these days. I am so sick of neutrals for everything. I crave color Can we bring back stuff like this, too, while we're at it?

I love stumbling on someone here I've never encountered before who creates art or games or stories or whatever and it's so my style it inspires me to get on with my work just looking at what they're doing, instant follow. ๐Ÿคญ
