Welp, confirmation from a market that gen AI art is used when there are "no other options." No other options?? SEriOSLy? 🤔 Let's start a thread of where you can find art to use in the public domain because I'm sick of this shit! Please reply below with your favorite resources. 👇

Several people have asked me recently why Analog/Asimov's/F&SF/Ellery Queen/Alfred Hitchcock still don't have Submission Grinder listings again, because the communications from SFWA on the subject have been so positive. So I thought it might be worth addressing this briefly.

I love this movie. Despite its age, the special effects still look incredible to this day. One of the best genre films of its era, and of all time for me. I need to watch this again soon.
