Not the connection to present times I was expecting when reading fantasy from the 70s. Maybe I should have? Night's Master by Tanith Lee.

The Papua New Guinea Courier is in rare form.

I hate every single possible thing about this, and I'm heartbroken about all of it. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

E-book deal alert! The Night Guest is on sale today (and only today I think!) for 2.99 USD across all online retailers, courtesy of @torbooks.bsky.social! Would appreciate if you would share this for me lovely friends 🙏😉😘

Låntagare mailar oss: "Ni har för dåligt med böcker om AI, det är viktigt för att folk ska kunna förstå denna viktiga fråga!" Bifogar en lista på inköpstips. Jag letar överallt. Av 11 titlar på listan verkar 10 överhuvudtaget inte existera någonstans. "Ja, jag tog fram listan med Ch*tGPT, hurså?"

Dad loves photography. He was next to me scrolling through a Facebook photography page he's been following for years when he told me he wasn't sure if one of the photos was AI-generated. We ended up going through the last 20 posts to check. 20 out of 20 were AI-generated. We're so cooked.

They broke down how much of a Google search is useless for finding information on a popular topic

Last night on Critical Role there was a technical rules question and between player knowledge and trying to find an answer in the book Matt also tried to Google the spell interactions and started giving that ruling before like 10 seconds later realizing it was AI fakery that was totally wrong.

Set up my reading tracker spreadsheet for next year. I feel so accomplished already.

Reference thread on the parallels between the transphobia and homophobia moral panics.

TikTok is a trip right now. This edit about the assassination of the healthcare CEO went viral, got taken down, was reloaded and taken down again. Now people are uploading screen recordings of it. You’ll see why. It goes hard. (I’m posting this as a study on the social mood, not an endorsement.)

There is another batch of bad abortion-related opsec advice going around, so I'm just going to link to Digital Defense Fund's guide to abortion privacy, which is realistic, practical, and explicit in its threat models: digitaldefensefund.org/ddf-guides/a...

I will never, ever get over this.

One might guess that this has indeed been a wish of mine for a good long while, and one would be right.

This place is very near our apartment, and every time I'd pass by, I'd wonder whether I was imagining the window's suggestiveness. Then I showed it to @authoremmabarry.bsky.social, and she was like, "Uh, YEAH, that's sexual. Oddly so, for a pharmaceutical facility," and I felt VALIDATED. 🙌

This is AMAZING and just ludicrously creative!

The Walker Papers are now on Kindle Unlimited! This is an intriguing experiment for me, so let me encourage you to all go forth and read, and please signal boost! <3 www.amazon.com/dp/B0CHBQ37P... (affiliate link direct to the whole series :))

Increasingly annoyed by this inconvenient real true fact

Oh, this is CLEVER.

I don't think companies realise what a self-own it is when they say they're returning to the office because they work better that way. I’ve been in teams where it didn’t matter if you were remote or in-office. I’ve also been in teams where meeting in person 3+ times a week was a MUST 🧵

Hotel for next year's Eastercon: check.

Nu tänker jag på den här videon, det är alltid en bra sak att bli påmind om den. youtu.be/EShUeudtaFg?...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Did I ever show the original Icelandic version of The Night Guest? It’s called Myrkrið milli stjarnanna (The Dark Between the Stars). The covers could not be more different, but I love them both!

Am I one of the cool kids now? Is that what this means?

Heading into the weekend, I have 240 pages to go on The Mercy of Gods by James SA Corey and I'm a notoriously slow reader. My library copy *has* to go back on Monday, do we think I can do it?

If you, too, are illogically afraid of needles but need to get a blood test, I recommend repeating BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD as a mantra running through your skull while the nurse stabs you. Worked for me!

Hello everyone! After some consultation, we've changed the planned dates for Worldcon 2028 in Brisbane to be the weekend after the total solar eclipse that will be passing through Australia. Our planned dates are now Thursday 27 to Monday 31 July, 2028!

Always watch, always repost.

That is a helluva historical caveat in just three words.

My theory, for which I have very little support: the folks who founded NaNo did it out of love for writing and the fun of writing together. It got huge. Great! But eventually the founders moved on. The new folks don't love writing, they want to make $$$
