Having long been aware of those tech bros who read my work as utopian porn, where they’ve taken that doesn’t exactly surprise me.

Agree with Craig. I'm truly astounded by how many people still support this evil administration. The US has been over for a couple decades now, we just don't know it yet.

Asimov's SF Magazine (@asimovssfmag) is now trying to force artists into predatory contracts where they steal away all rights. If you're a creator of any type, yes including authors who would like to be published by Asimov's, you should run far, far away.

I thought season four of Ted Lasso was better than season three. It really hit it's stride episodes three thru nine. I'm not in love with the last episode, but I didn't dislike it either.

Actors may not want to weigh in on politics but I assure you politics will be weighing in on the entertainment industry

Today I watched four hummingbirds fight over our fountain, which is big enough for ten of them to use at once. And I couldn't help but think of the political mess we're in, because so many believe in scarcity and not abundance.

I find it interesting that both of the baseball players Donald Trump has advocated for and/or honored this year – Roger Clemens and Pete Rose – were involved in the exploitation of girls who were no older than 15 at the time. What a weird coincidence.

Enworld is a great gaming site. Unfortunately, AI scrapers, thousands of them, are making it inaccessible the last week or two. AI sucks for much worse reasons, but this is how some people make money. And they can't right now. All because you want to steal someone's IP to make a picture.

Met someone from San Diego today. He was pissed at Trump. And it's barely news Trump said it would be ok if Iran took out two US cities. That quote, among others, should run on every ad for the next two years.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

I believe I have no entered all the books I actually own (outside RPG books, no one has that much time), so maybe I'll stop buying duplicates? I doubt it....but it is less likely now. Now, I have NOT entered all the books I've read, but not sure how I could even do that.

Most days I say to myself I should go for a walk and I wait until it's hot and sunny. Today? I actually went while it was nice and cool and the sun was behind the clouds and it was glorious.

This is your occasional reminder that generative "AI" in particular could have been developed on public domain materials and/or licensed and compensated works but the major players intentionally, methodically and systemically chose to steal labor from working creative folks instead

We can’t let Christine Drazan rewrite history. I found the statement she issued when Trump announced that he was sending troops to Portland. Despite what she now implies, she didn’t oppose Trump sending troops to Portland. Thankfully, Tina Kotek & Dan Rayfield successfully fought off Trump!

If you lack the political will to impeach patently impeachable offenses, fine. Just realize that you have, by definition, cast aside the laws that were broken and the impeachment power. This is not an opinion. This is how basic logic operates. Anyone who does not contend with that is unserious.

This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

If the US military can't protect B1 bombers in the UK from Iran, I am not sure that lack of testosterone shots is the biggest problem.

Episode nine of Ted lasso was predictable, and still somehow well written and acted enough that it was very good. Really, session four is back to being a very good show.

Movie review Altered This is not a good movie. It also has one of the worst on screen kisses ever. It's like the actors actively hated the idea.
