Nevox must face a 200-year old Imperial General among the battlements and ash piles of Fort Frostmoth. If she fails, General Carius will conquer Raven Rock with an army of monstrous Ash Spawn. Because in Skyrim, when Sovngarde beckons...everyone dies! youtu.be/rp2HXj9c2yM

I think there’s a lot of overblown hype coming from the tech bros regarding this AI slop. When I look at this, and hear how they talk about it, all I see is a bubble that one day is going to pop. And then we’ll be on the hook to bail these fucks out. Just like always.

I knew that Must Read Magazines (new owners of Asimov’s, F&SF, and Analog) had been insisting on bad contract terms with authors, but I didn’t know that their contract terms for cover artists are even worse. 1/3

In a similar vein, a musician once declared that Weimar culture was a rebellion against the Reich and… Okay, pack it up. No Americans are allowed to discuss this without taking a class, kind of like driving.

Nevox runs afoul of Reavers and the sinister Ash Spawn who are attacking Raven Rock. But even though she's outmatched, can she give them a good fight, or has she finally eaten her last Ash Yam? #Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #ElderScrolls youtu.be/m_huQy-9fXo

History is only that which survives. I often think about all the other things, and people, and events that happened long, long ago, and we will never know about them. Because that knowledge didn’t survive. We have no record of it. History is only what we know. I think that’s somehow very limiting.

There is hope folks. This morning my students were working on writing narratives. One young man asked me what was the best way to describe young men going out to check out and meet girls without being disrespectful or inappropriate. We turned the moment into a brief classroom discussion.

NaNoWriMo accepted AI sponsorship, iirc, and soon after announced that AI drafts were okay, grabbing the usual human shields: "The categorical condemnation of Artificial Intelligence has classist and ableist undertones." Because poor people and disabled people never write, apparently

Now, I have my issues with how school photos are done and there is nothing wrong with parents setting up their own shoots with their camera phones and whatnot but feeding the kid's face to AI and spitting out a "perfect" school photo is so... Do they even like their kid?

You can't get blood from a stone. Or from a Dark Elf like Nevox who fights back. But Apocrypha, Bloodskal Barrow, and the East Empire Company have different plans! Enjoy! youtu.be/OhO7znSD8CA #Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #ElderScrolls #Bethesda

🦇 30 days until Halloween... *Movie marquee and theatre display for Horror of Dracula (originally released as Dracula in the UK). Hammer Film Productions, 1958. 🎞

Horror of Dracula (1958)—originally released simply as Dracula in the United Kingdom—is a landmark British Gothic horror film directed by Terence Fisher. Produced by the legendary Hammer Film Productions, it is celebrated as the first vampire film ever shot in color (Technicolor/Eastmancolor). The movie catapulted Christopher Lee (as Count Dracula) and Peter Cushing (as Dr. Van Helsing) into global horror icons, redefining the vampire mythos with an unprecedented blend of vibrant color, visceral gore, and underlying sensuality.

Nevox is trapped inside Bloodskal Barrow! Surrounded by Undead, she finally solves a 200-year old secret. But can she live long enough to tell anyone? Or will she be another forgotten victim? #Skyrim #TheElderScrolls #ElderScrolls #Bethesda youtu.be/432MSBReMYI

Not making it up: Just boarded a Southwest flight and as I passed the cockpit, pilot and copilot were telling a flight attendant about being furries. Regrettably for the intellectual powerhouse that is the U.S. senator from Alabama, in the next breath they started laughing and called him an idiot.

A lot of these “country” people aren’t even all that rural and I wouldn’t gatekeep but they sing and brag about their wee yeehaw upbringing and whatnot, so I figure I have a right to sneer. Get your “city of 200,000 with a Costco, 18 Starbucks and a Whole Foods“ outta here, city slicker

For the record, I only like Outlaw Country and the 1960s and 1970s superstars my parents liked (Dolly, Waylon, Charlie, etc) and I hate Bro Country with the heat of a thousand suns and Garth Brooks was always cringe. Glad that settles that, I will return to my classical
