They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

The best way I can describe Astarion in ASTARION is that he's...desperate for who he was, even though that person has been stolen, vivisected, and put through a cheese grater.

A mix of my current faves plus my GOATS. I struggled on whether or not to include BG3 because I do love that game but do I love it more than Elden Ring? No. And I was legally obligated to include Rivals because of the hours I have in it 💀

ghost sacrificing his stealth on base to show off his man (you can hear him clinking down the hall on base) #SimonGhostRiley #ghoap

two drawings of simon “ghost” riley, both with an ita bag filled almost exclusively of items of (or inspired by) john “soap” mactavish.

the bag itself is black, with a pink insert with a vague army print pattern. there’s pins, buttons, a photo card, and a small plushie decorating the bag.

ghost himself is wearing his usually military gear, his dark jacket, black tac vest, climbing hardness, skeleton gloves, and jeans. ghost is wearing his skull mask.

the larger drawing to the right features a cropped ghost, showcasing the ita bag. ghost’s hand is resting on the straps over his shoulder. the second drawing is of ghost squatting low to the ground, arms resting on his knees, ita bag on his shoulder.

New: Macklemore will donate entire $1M of his earnings from Ed Sheeran's tour to six orgs helping Palestinians — and invites Robert Kraft to match him. Says he wants to center Palestinians being killed + journalists & aid workers who keep going. "Their risk is of a far different order than mine."

With everything that has happened over the last 48 hours, I want to bring the conversation back to where it belongs: to the Palestinian people who are still being killed, still living under military occupation, and still fighting for their freedom.
I will be donating the entire $1 million of my net earnings from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour to six organizations working directly to support the Palestinian people. And I invite Robert Kraft to match my donation. Whatever we disagree about, perhaps we can agree on this: Palestinian lives are worth protecting. A Palestinian life is no less valuable than any other life on this earth.
That is what this has always been about. Not me. Not a tour. Not the headlines or the controversy. It is about Palestinians right to freedom, dignity and safety in their own homeland. I want to center the parents carrying their children into hospitals without the basic resources to treat them, and the physicians, paramedics, journalists and aid workers who keep going back in. I want to center the organizers and activists who have paid real costs for standing with Palestine. Their risk is of a far different order than mine.
Just yesterday, 15 year old Muhammad al Zinati was killed in an Israeli strike while rushing to help aid worker Sherif Lubbad, who had already been injured. He was a child. Both were murdered. Both should be alive. And the ones still under the rubble, whose names exist only in the memories of people who may not have survived to speak them. Writing a check is one of the least costly forms of solidarity available to me. I am doing it because I can, and because these organizations are doing the work while much of the world debates it.
But aid alone cannot address the conditions that make it necessary. This is a manmade injustice, and I believe it requires immediate political change. Palestinians have lived for decades without basic rights and should not have to wait another day to be free. That is where my focus will remain. I will …

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies. May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism. This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs. Vaccinate your pets please.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs
As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners
- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative
sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

My great great great great grandpappy about to leave behind a widow with 11 children

Crudely drawn scene in the style of the bayeux tapestry showing a peasant calling from his plowed field surrounded by wildflowers to a passing armed noble with a chicken’s head motif on his helmet. Text reads “gvess what:” “what” “chiccen butt.” It is framed by decorative borders depicting crudely drawn goat, chickens, dragons, dogs and a peasant woman mourning a grave.
