This may be too old, but there's a Harlequin Blaze featuring an FMC who's a retired MMA fighter who gets whacked in the nose with a door by the clumsy hero in their first scene. Driving Her Wild by Meg Maguire.

It’s particularly cruel to do this to Garbo, who protected her privacy and peace but it’s not surprising she was chosen. After all, she told the world “no” and AI pushers love to run roughshod over consenf www.theguardian.com/film/2026/se...

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

This morning — following two investigations into Toronto mayoral candidate Brad Bradford's use of an app that rewards supporters for posting AI-generated comments and sharing contacts — Bradford called our reporting "inaccurate." We're now releasing the recording that proves our reporting.

Bradford calls CNO reporting of AI app rewards ‘inaccurate.’ Here’s the recording proving our reporting.
Canada’s National Observer has decided to publish the segment of the Zoom call that corroborates its reporting.

tonight's mooncake flavours
The lighting's not great on these, but we have two snowskin mooncakes on a plate. The one on the left is yellow (mango) and the one on the right is brown dusted with a little white rice flour (jamocha nut [mocha I guess? tasted kind of chocolate-peanut buttery]). To be clear, we cut these and last night's in pieces and shared them among the family. They're pretty dense.

This is much more than a question of authenticity. What we see is the weaponisation of AI to discredit non-white intellect. There is an agenda behind this. Just look at the media circus. The witch hunt against Thélyson Orélien was sparked by a "random" X post.

Mooncakes, the moon-ening
One greenish snowskin mooncake captioned hojicha black sesame (the black sesame is on the inside) and one dark mooncake with gold flake captioned "salted duck egg". I don't even like most mooncakes and I especially do not usually enjoy the salted duck egg, but these were like custard mochi with delicious crunchy middle for contrast.Open mooncake box with still smaller boxes festooned with cartoon rabbits and mooncakes and duck eggs (?) and lanterns. Plus a shot of the mooncake "map" indicated which flavours are inside.

#FridayFling #grounds
Background--a bit of blue water with light breaking down from the surface. Foreground is this text: 
  The fog is so dense it almost seems to swallow my words, but I hear an answering cry in the distance.
  I start for it, stumbling through hedges and and tripping over rocks and boulders I don’t remember seeing before. I don’t know this property half as well as my sisters do, but this is too strange. I can’t seem to find my way anywhere except where the ground decides to lead me.
  I yell for them again and the voice that answers seems closer. I surge forward and at last, I stumble onto worn wood of our dock, something familiar, finally. I stop, breathing heavily.
  I never thought I’d be so happy to be on this dock.
  “June? May?” my voice comes out small, like a little girl’s. “Where are you? Please, I’m sorry."

Please share the application with anyone you think might be interested and help us spread the word! Here’s a bit more about Periplus, why we exist, and how we assess fellowship applications:
Periplus is a mentorship collective serving U.S. writers who identify as Black, Indigenous, or people of color. We’re happy you’ve found us. We’re looking for mentees—Periplus Fellows—who are located in the United States, and are at least 18 years old, and whose writing shows great promise. We are seeking to mentor writers who are relatively early in their careers and would especially like to award fellowships to those with limited past access to writing resources and supportive communities. We aim to equalize access so that writers can achieve their goals regardless of their background and affiliations. 

In assessing your application, we’ll be most focused on the promise we see in your writing sample. We will also consider how helpful a Periplus Fellowship could be for your craft and career.
