I was compelled to query a chatbot by my job for the first time the other day and it immediately hallucinated a date that something occurred on. When I questioned it, it admitted the date was actually just placeholder text, and it could not confirm the event took place (it had not taken place)

Just heard some strange music coming from my room; I wondered if my earbuds had turned a video on, but I hadn't been listening to anything like that; and then I realized no, this was the sound of radio channels and static being flipped through when there's no one there, like in a horror movie

Happy Friday! My latest short story dropped and to celebrate, I'm giving away a copy of the hardcover book containing it. Click the link below for details: buttondown.com/AuthorLevai/...

A copy of Of Swords and Roses, an anthology of romantasy short stories from Flame Tree Press. The cover has vines in gold leaf and the image of a warrior with a long braid in a medallion at the center. The edges, which you can’t see here, are sprayed with a pink floral design.

Who said it: Natalie Harp, or Crysania, Revered Daughter of Paladine, in the Dragonlance musical

You are right to have rejected me, You are stronger and purer than me. You remain faithful to yourself.
Your purpose is great!
I shall be worthy of you!
I shall win your recognition!
I shall show you what
A daughter of holy Paladine can do!
Promise me, promise
To hold me to the highest standard I can achieve!
Never forgive me, never forgive This weak heart of mine, my weak faith!
If I back down – show no mercy,
If I betray – do not forgive.
Don’t let your heart soften to my sins. Condemn me without hesitation.
Be straighter and stricter with me Than the Highest Judge!
There is no tenderness dearer to me Than you being rigorous with me!
I need no indulgence!
I wait for no absolution!

And in your journeys, you'll find the things that bring you peace, like cigarette smoke sending clandestine messages upward, like a pigeon bobbing to unheard but felt rhythms; others will gawk and stare and spend cheap judgments. You will cast it away. You will breathe it out like a whale breaching.

Café. Weird that when I enter in the late afternoon the barista’s face is suddenly striped with the shadows of Venetian blinds, a drum is struck with a steel brush while a gentle sax melody plays, & I say, wide-eyed, velvet voiced, “Mister, I’m in a jam. You’ve got to help.” The game is on.

HELLO, brief announcement: My short murder mystery, "Murder on the Honeymoon," was published in the anthology "Ten Little Mysteries" by Golden Age Mysteries Ltd. in 2025! I never made an official post, so here I am saying I'm very proud of this story which now lives out in the wild!

Behavioral economics as a field does not hold up to scrutiny; it's largely marketing, and the most promising advance in public policy (opt-out instead of opt-in for organ donation) was highly specific, didn't take hospital systems into account, and was not followed by any other practicable advances

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.

A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.

Claude and Gemini are often correct. And they both point out real sources that I hadn't seen. Which is useful! But "often correct" isn't good enough. Road directions where 75% of the street turns are correct is not going to get me to the destination.

I have started running Claude alongside the book I am writing on ants, as well as just letting Google Gemini do its thing at the top when I do Google search. It is not doing any writing I am using, and I am always checking the results against primary sources.
