Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Finally a book that AI enthusiasts can get behind

A piggy and elephant book called "I REALLY Like Slop" by Mo Willems. The illustration shows a cartoon pig in a chef's hat holding a bowl of slop while a disgusted-looking elephant wearing glasses watches.

I haven't talked about my fiction in a while so here's the deets: I read Save the Cat! which I wish I'd read 20 years ago and started reworking my Victorian space novel to match that template and now I'm sitting pretty at 58k words and counting, writing about 800/day I needed to stop pantsing it

I didn't really do anything for Bi Visibility Day except wear my "Bisexual Disaster" t-shirt all day long, which got some interesting looks from the other parents and one confused comment when I picked my kid up from fencing yesterday evening

Once upon a time I played GASLANDS and came up with a pretty fucking cool War Rig:

The tractor section of a war rig. The cab is a semi truck with a combine harvester attachment chained to the front and a piece of a steam locomotive's cab attached to the back.

The trailer section of a war rig. The trailer is a caboose and a railroad boxcar welded together, with a steam locomotive's boiler sitting on top. Barrels of toxic waste and a nuclear bomb sit on top of the trailer.

Post a meme made by you. For me, it's this image I Photoshopped together that spawned a hundred Dungeonmaster Rogers memes in the TTRPG community.

A Photoshopped image of Mister Rogers sitting behind a DM screen, a grid map and miniatures on the table in front of him, and in the foreground a D&D character sheet and pencil as if the viewer is a player sitting across the table from him.

"What would you do if AI were suddenly banned tomorrow?" Same thing I've done my entire life. The same thing you slop-peddlers gleefully threatened would leave me destitute, as if I was committing some crime: Create, using my own hard-won skills, and gladly teach others to do the same. Even you.

"If a colleague or manager suggests that something can be easily achieved by using GenAI, a simple "why do you think that?" can really derail the conversation. More often than not, they have a flimsy response and realize it's not more efficient or producing a better outcome."
