I regret (or delight) to inform you that new JCO discourse has hit the timeline, and this time it is NUCLEAR

Screenshot from Threads reading: I had to unblock this creature in order to see if this was real. What a horrendous human she is. FUCK AI. FUCK JCO. Then a screenshot of a JCO tweet reading: This is why AI-generated romance novels make perfect sense. Formulaic fiction doesn't need to be written by hand, so to speak; what difference does it make if a machine writes it?

PbtA fans, here's my challenge to you. For the next 12 months, when somebody asks how PbtA works, tell them that normally a 10+ is a critical hit, a 7-9 is a hit, and a 6- is a compromise, but that unusually challenging or dangerous situations can bump itdown.

Another comment on this: Unless specifically designed to be, a #PbtA game is not played as a "GOTCHA!" game where the GM is there to screw with the players. BE A FAN OF THE PLAYERS' CHARACTERS is a foundational sentiment in Apocalypse World and #PbtA only really works if that's in the MC's heart.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Venus and Serena Williams. I didn't really follow sports, but they were so cool. Looking back on it now, I probably also had a crush on one or both of them, but I didn't realize then that I was bi; I would've had to realize that was a possibility.

Missouri Republicans really want to run the midterms on a racist MAGA map. Last Monday, the 8th Circuit said yes. On Friday, SCOTUS was like 'wtf, man' and smacked down the 8th Circuit for ignoring TWO prior orders requiring use of the non-racist map. The ruling ended up helping Black voters. 👀

How you teach your kids to treat animals is really important! In our society, animals are one of the only groups with less power than children. If they learn they can punch down, that’s a lesson that will do a lot more damage as they grow up.
