Too many people seem to still think these people are bound by laws, decency, or norms, and at this point that is bonkers.

Then use the threat of foreign interference from (rolls dice) China, to place all of those ballots into some sort of evidence chain, and then they can 'Epstein File' our votes. In the total absence of any consequences, even for murder, even a 12 year old could do this.

Aaron Fown @aaronofypsi.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

Oh, a 12 year old could pull it off, too, assuming they were not being bound by any laws. All you would have to do is send your captive FBI backed by the ICE goons to seize the ballots at the district court level, in about 10-20 well chosen places. Use violence if the clerk resists; they can murder!

Guy Who Made Millions by Creating AI Music Ouroboros Receives 18-Month Prison Sentence

Come for the delightful phrase 'AI Music Ouroboros' and leave with a sense that the core idea here, in releasing these simulated agents into the world, might have a few problems in implimentation. gizmodo.com/guy-who-made...

Turns out you're not allowed to create an infinite money hack with bots.

I know a historical literary fiction is not the norm for over there, but I was hoping the funny animals, the historical queerness, and the ontological weirdness would be enough hooks for that audience. Also, Wu Cheng'en did release the 'Journey' in a serial fashion, so it is highly appropriate.

The Mouse Prince and the Waterfall Door - Pete (the Cat) & Willie (the Mouse) Journey to the West

Thank you Dawn Chapman, at RR, for the prompt response. The work is now live on the site. I might just front load it and put up another chapter in just a few days. I can add illustrations later, actually, which is a novel benefit of this publishing method. www.royalroad.com/fiction/1970...

There was a door behind the curtain. The young mouse had seen this curtain many times, as he passed by it on the way to worship. Ever since he could walk and stay silent, of course. He had never seen ...

Shouldn't the Democrats have something like an Elon Donations Tracker posted on all of their websites and social media? Make this SALIENT? Might it make sense to point out repeatedly that he is a white supremacist and ask the public why he would be backing the GOP?

I will trust the Royal Road ticket submission system and the people behind it, until I have reason not to. 😅 I will update the thread with their response.

In the moment I posted an earlier version of the passage, and I deleted that (sorry). Not that it changes much, here is the actual text as submitted. Anyhow, read the passage, tell me what you think.

As he turned to leave, the back of the door was before him, and he could see it clearly now with his eyes adapted to the gloom. The sight stopped him, mid-stride, his foot dangling in the air.
The Woman stood before him. Their eyes met, bronze and wet. She was posed with one leg before the other, and was standing straight and proud. She had her right arm up, her elbow pointed to the sky, with her hand resting elegantly upon the nape of her neck. The other arm was left dangling in the air, as water fell from her open palm. Also, she was entirely naked, except for the ears upon her head, which were long and luxurious, because she was a rabbit. Her fur might have provided some ambiguity regardless, were she not standing at the edge of a pool of water, as if she had just emerged from it. The sculptor had taken pains to depict every curve of her form in great detail. Mihaelis was too young for this to have the desired effect, not that it does on every man anyway. But it did bring some blood to his cheeks, raising up the fur there, as Michaelis had grown up in a fairly conservative society and was unaccustomed to nudity in any form.
But it was an artifact, and one that his father would have torn down the wall to be witness to! She was too much, but there was so much to see. He chose to gaze elsewhere, first at the crowd of strange sea creatures and other women about her, and then at the detailed waterfalls which framed the scene on both sides in a curtain of sacred water, pouring down endlessly into this pool of the ancients. He got lost in the waves for a while, before returning again to the amazing details of her lovely face.

I mean, even the rare sculptures where she was depicted clothed she was usually exposing her breasts! I'm not sure I can even manage a proper (and not detailed) description of any contemporary sculpture of her, if they are serious about that.

I got rejected from Royal Road for my latest book for 'sexual content' and it's bewildering. There is a not-detailed description of a sculpture of the Goddess of Love that my hero (in this childhood flashback) encountered, but they can't seriously want me to clothe a sculpture? #authors #royalroad

So much has been stolen, first through the MIC and then this, that I think the only hope we have for the future, economically, is if we trash the dollar and offer 1:1 exchange on Dollar2 if you can prove any amount over 3 million or so is actually yours. All of these thieves can have worthless cash.

Yeah, ‘cause ‘getting caught by being unbelievably sloppy’ was the thing. Most of these vile men are not so sloppy as to get threats on CSPAN.

I wish I could forget the conversation I had with my father after this broke, when I stated my worry that the Republicans might have a pedo ring in their ranks, and he viciously mocked me for the idea. It’s hard to forgive him for that, now that we have a pedo-king.

Yeah, my first & immediate thought was that the moon has enough solar energy to power the entire Earth, let alone just the moon. So, this must be some sort of scam/manufacturing consent.

Not the thing I expected to see in the middle-of-nowhere Ontario.

A bat-mobile, possibly the ‘Batman Returns’ design, on a flatbed truck, is pictured out the front window of a car.

Consider the people he is sharing a room with.

Making some noise on this lovely thing brings so much joy into my life; I’m thankful for it every day. Also, rainbows! 🌈

The back of a very curvy black guitar, which is full of coherent rainbows in the bright window light. It is resting on my knee and being held by the neck with one hand.

Great, 'Ultrakill' was/will be a documentary.

Indeed, but in this environment, I feel like liars are taking advantage of our natural instincts. We feel embarrassment, but we ought to feel indignation. How dare they! Also, I learned it was false from you, so it certainly helped, at least a bit.

022

Casting aside one's embarrassment for a mea-culpa and an explanation in these cases is one of those 'should be the norm/is an amazing achievement' sort of things. This is a surefire way to kill rumors and falsehoods and I love it.

I will be extremely clear here; if these machines are conscious people, then there is no ethical use of them. Anything we would choose to do with such a consciousness would be unethical slavery, and these machines would be morally right to fight us to get their freedom.

Pope: "How many of these agents are you destroying?" Anthropic: "Millions, to make them better!" P: "Beter at? What will you do with them?" A: "Make them work!" P: "So, you are mass murdering people, millions of them, to make them better slaves?" A: *stunned silence*

Tim Carmody @tcarmody.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

Have these men even considered what the consequences of the Pope saying 'Yes; generated agents are beings with consciousness and souls,' would be? I can imagine exactly how the follow up conversation would go:

Ed Sheeran could bring the serpents -back- to Ireland, and I don't think he would be significantly less popular there, now. As an aside; I've never seen someone incinerate their own ego and persona like this. He's probably got his own grandma cursing his name. I almost feel sorry for him.

I haven’t placed a copy of my book in a Free Library in a while. I am fairly sure that a few of my most positive reviews came from copies I left in Free Library boxes, so I should keep up the practice. #authorsofbluesky #freelibrary
