For some douche bags, who can’t get over the value of a classics, you sure didn’t notice a Pandora’s box when you opened it with AI. Sorry you can’t put it back in the box, bro. But guess what? The thing that’s left is hope.

Real over tech bros trying to convince everyone that the world is ending just because they can’t conceive of a world that doesn’t look exactly like this one.

My grandma has been fortunate enough to be (mostly) healthy my whole life. She’s alive still at 94. This week I was fortunate to visit her for a bit for her birthday. She sleeps all day except for 15 minutes where my aunt does her best to feed her. This is about Mitch McConnell

Hey. This internal memo doesn’t actually “authorize” ICE to go into homes without a warrant. It instructs ICE agents to ignore decades of longstanding precedent that says the exact opposite. Precedent that goes back to some of the initial court rulings in our country. #fuckice #Minnesota

If a magic system has more rules than impacts on your characters daily life, you’re building lore. Not a world.

Bree Reads Books @breereadsbooks.bsky.social · 30/07/2025

I’ll say it: a lot of people praise shitty world building because they prefer lore building to rich dynamism in fiction. They look at world building like building a wikiwalk rather than building a place to live.

I have lived through an era in which I had almost any information at my fingertips, where with savvy search skills I could find whatever I wanted, a facility with information Diderot would have wept to have. I'm sixty. I remember before Google and easy reliable search. And now I have outlived it.

One of the biggest things I don’t think I’ve seen discussed in the worldcon AI conversation is the encroachment on data privacy. I don’t care if anybody was excluded or included based on the results of an AI script. I care that participants weren’t told that one would be used.

For the readers in the room, this is a really good time to read sci-fi and fantasy from indigenous authors. The idea that the world has ended before and that we still live is so prevalent in many of these stories and I think. It’s good to let that inform us.
