UPDATE: The release date has been corrected. Turns out Variety got the date wrong, as all other news outlets have reported June 1, 2029, as the official release date for Aegon's Conquest and not June 6, 2029, as Variety reported.

Every time I turn on the news to make sure the world hasn’t ended, I still feel like I’m living out an Isaac Asimov novel or Frank Herbert’s Dune every time there’s a conversation about artificial super intelligence. I keep thinking back to the destruction and outlawing of thinking machines in Dune.

Since Mike Flanagan's TV adaptation of Stephen King's Carrie is just around the corner, time to revisit the 1976 classic! 👀

Really sad to see this team go since Popverse was one of the best comic news sites on the web. I'm really grateful for all the work you and the rest of the team put into the website these past four years, and I look forward to yours and the rest of the team's newest endeavours. 🫡

At this point, I only have two questions for Democrats if they take back Congress: How are you going to sanction Trump, his donors, and his enablers, and how are you going to make them pay all of us reparations? In fact, they would actually be paying back our stolen money.

Since this isn’t a feature on Thinking Machines from Frank Herbert’s Dune, a more accurate headline for this real-life incident should be ‘OpenAI Developed a Harmful AI System That Should Induce Panic.’ Software developers don’t ‘accidentally’ develop ‘Rogue AI.’ Software works exactly as intended.

Do Americans have to resort to taking out Trump and his entire administration the same way the French took out Louis XVI in 1793? Because the Republicans aren't going to do anything to stop this felon from committing more war crimes, and Trump already showed he's impulsive enough to start wars.

Currently reading @brendanballou.bsky.social’s book ‘When Companies Run the Courts’, and this is the money question I’ve asked all year long. When we say we need to get money out of politics this is what we mean. When billionaires and corporations can buy the courts, you get mafia-style favours.

Ask yourself about the leverage you have today in terms of fans of your work that have sent you their email addresses to contact them directly. A traditional publisher will want to know. Are you an influencer with 20k followers? What will they convert to in sales? #writingcommunity #booksky

Typically, you will have more costs than funds. Develop a habit of being the primary supporter of your novels. This habit centers on weekly self-investment with no guarantee of returns. Your book may sell well, or bomb. That's the risk. #writingcommunity #booksky #money #marketing #novels

The next time a debt collector suggests to me I do DoorDash to earn extra money to pay off my predatory student loans, I will point them to this article. Unlike white America, I don’t live in the parallel reality where American Hitler didn’t make it *deadly* unsafe for me to work outside the home.

If I’m keeping score correctly, when the Cunt-in-chief is finally removed from office, the US is going to owe reparations to immigrants, Black & Indigenous people, victims of ICE, Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran, Ukraine, most of Europe and the counties that depended on USAID.

Every time I hear the term "Hugging Face", my mind immediately thinks of the Facehuggers from the Alien franchise, and I immediately question if AI figured out a way to create them. Maybe Ridley Scott was right to warn us about the dangers of artificial intelligence in Alien: Covenant. 💀

Sophie passed away. Two months after her mother passed. Sophie and her mum Séraphine are gravely missed. In addition to the joy she brought to my life, Sophie is fondly remembered as the sweet baby bird who loved her feathery family. From the moment she hatched, she was special. RIP, Sophie. 💔

Diane Darcy @dianedarcy.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I don’t think Sophie is long for this world. She is extremely sick. I don’t think she’s going to make it past today. The vet said she has a severe coelomic infection. He gave her antibiotics, but she’s not getting any better. First, her mum Séraphine in June and now Sophie. What a shite year. 😢

Something has to be off. I was laid off in January, I've applied to close to 400 jobs (full time, part time, & freelance) and gotten two interviews with a third coming, 2 part time gigs (52 hours across 3 months, 15 hours a week starting soon) and a couple of freelance assignments.

And then to go to my Department of Labor counselor and say, "ok, what's wrong here? Is the resume done poorly? My cover letters?" and be told "No they're great." That can't be true.

It's not the not getting jobs that's soul crushing. It's terrible but down market, tough times, etc. It is the not getting interviews. Applying to the exact same position as I held, in title and duties, and getting a form email rejection.
