If you have a few moments and enjoyed Ride or Die, would you please give it a vote in the Dragon Awards? This is a fan award given at Dragon Con. You don't have to go, and voting is free. Just go here and register, and they send you a ballot: applyto.dragoncon.org/fan_awards/d...

Ride or Die is a very cool looking book in neon 80s colors with a broken roller coaster going into the mouth of a cloud skull, as you do. I have juxtaposed it against a giant pink dragon, some JJ Abrams lense flare, and a starburst because I'm trying to get your attention. Woo woo! Hi there! Please vote for my weird book about a haunted amusement park with a ghost crocodile!

"My little butterfly wings are getting kinda tired." Dolly knew the power of leading with love. She is, and will always be, an inspiration and an example. She's been a guiding light in my life and so many others. An angel on earth went home. We'll always love you, Dolly.

Dolly Parton was one of a tiny number of American saints--indeed, the only other one that immediately springs to mind is Fred Rogers. They had a remarkable ability to unite people from all backgrounds, appearing apolitical while standing with quiet firmness on the right side of history.

Lynda Barry did not squeeze your heart and simultaneously explain the point of all art with the barest of line drawings so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."

HOW TO LOOK AT ART by Lynda Barry

In the first panel, a dog-headed woman, a mother, looks at a painting in the "Madonna with Baby Jesus" vein. A small blobby child is standing next to her.

Mother: IM NOT SURE HOW TO LOOK AT ART.
Child: WHATS SPOSTA HAPPEN?

In the second panel the dog-headed mother holds up her hands (paws?) trying to explain to the child.

Mother: SOMETHING BIG. A REVELATION.
SUDDENLY YOU JUST UNDERSTAND.

In the third panel dog-headed mother goes back to looking at the painting. The child holds up their arms to be lifted.

Mother: NOT SURE HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN
Child: HOW BOUT LIFT ME UP SO I CAN SEE BETTER

In the last panel, the dog-headed mother is holding the child, their position mirrored by the Madonna and baby Jesus in the painting.

A woman with light brown hair, wearing a white shirt under a black jacket and blue jeans, all stained with blood, probably her own, in a gloomy forest. She has a knife, and there are strange figures behind her. The text reads SEANAN MCGUIRE, A DIVIDED DUTY, AN OCTOBER DAYE NOVEL." It is the upcoming Toby Daye book! Order it today!

With ALT text. It also should be noted that all of those things are still available. Stop using genAI & search on your own. The reality is that living under capitalism means they will monetize anything they can get their hands on & convince you that you need to buy it from them. You don't.

Bro I'm so sick of pretending this isn't weird.

The internet spent 20 years creating tutorials, open-source projects, blog posts, & answers for free.

AI companies turned all of it into products worth billions.

And now the same people who created that knowledge are being told they're replaceable.

We built the library.

Someone else started charging admission.

As I begin migrating my work from Substack over to Patreon, here's one of my most shared essays: WRITING BEGINS WITH FORGIVENESS (aka stop trying to write every day!!!) www.patreon.com/posts/writin...

Here’s what stops more people from writing than anything else: shame. That creeping, nagging sense of ‘should be,’ ‘should have been,’ and ‘if only I’d.’ Shame lives in the body, it clenches our muscles when we sit at the keyboard, takes up valuable mental space with useless, repetitive conversations. Shame, and the resulting paralysis, are what happen when the whole world drills into you that you should be writing every day and you’re not.

Every writer has their rhythm. It seems basic, but clearly it must be said: There is no one way. Finding our path through the complex landscape of craft, process, and different versions of success is a deeply personal, often painful journey. It is a very real example of making the road by walking. Mentors and fellow travelers can point you towards new possibilities, challenge you and expand your imagination, but no one can tell you how to manage your writing process. I’ve been writing steadily since 2009 and I’m still figuring mine out, and I probably will be for the rest of my life. It’s a growing, organic, frustrating, inspiring, messy adventure, and it’s all mine.

Deepfakes are everywhere, but digital forensics investigators are fighting back. Learn more: scim.ag/42dMPBg

To verify images, digital forensics investigators will often check whether the geometry of the scene is realistic. In a real photo, lines that run parallel in reality—like floor tiles—should meet at a single vanishing point. In this image, however, the dotted lines do not meet in a single point, indicating it is a fake.
Image: an AI-generated image of soldiers marching down a hallway in three lines, wearing fatigues and carrying rifles. Four dotted white lines have been added over the image, running along the floor tiles visible in the foreground and extending back to where the vanishing point should be, behind the soldiers. Instead of meeting in a single point, the lines all cross at different points.

Investigators also examine reflections. The lines connecting points on an object to matching points in its mirror image run parallel in reality, so similarly should meet at a vanishing point. In this image, the lines again do not converge on one point, revealing it to be a fake.
Image: An AI-generated image of a plastic cartoon dinosaur toy with its reflection visible in a small mirror. Four dotted white lines are layered over the image, connecting points on the toy with the same points on its reflection: the top of its eye, the end of its jaw, its hand, and its foot. The lines extend out to the side of the image, where they all cross at different points rather than meeting at a single point.
