Bury my Heart (Galehaut Laid to Rest) "And Lancelot himself lay his companion to rest inside the tomb. After he had laid Galehaut down, he kissed him three times on the mouth in such agony that his heart nearly leapt out of his chest." Lancelot Part IV (Lancelot-Grail /Vulgate Cycle) #Arthuriana

I just read a third or possibly fourth news article where the reality of an 'AI has discovered something marvellous!' story turns out to be GenAI somehow accessed material it had no permissions for, which was the outcome of an expert's years of work, and presented it without attribution. GenAI lies.

I'm beyond proud of my good pal @padswa.bsky.social. He's one of the writers I most admire, because of his determination to pick himself up and keep writing brilliant fiction even after setbacks and rejections. I'm sure DRAGONFLY's going to be a huge success. www.thebookseller.com/rights/harpe...

does one REALLY need to know where mommy goes when she covers her face? i don't believe so. that information will, in the long run, be as useless as the provenance of the airplane that lands in my mouth every mealtime

Tristan: checking to see if Isolde is watching before stabbing the boar Agravain: lying on the floor having a smoke Percival: in dog form, usefully flanking the boar Kay: about to throw a giant rock at the boar Palamedes: leaning on his shield, despairing as to the whole situation

I've been doing a lot of drawing recently, and my heart goes out to illustrators everywhere. It has become insanely difficult to find decent reference images on search engines without being drowned in uncanny valley AI slop.

There are no "Ai authors" or "Ai Artists". There is only the AI, doing everything for you and doing it badly, which is therefore not art.

The battle to keep global heating from passing the agreed 1.5-degree threshold has been lost. This should be an era when human ingenuity works to save the planet from catastrophe. Instead the tech broligarchy is busy embarking upon ludicrous AI data centre “infrastructure” fuelled by coal and gas.

I realise how much we have normalised companies charging guests for events where authors are the main attraction while simultaneously not finding it necessary to *pay* said main attraction, and I would like us to stop doing that.

It seems incredible that Burnham would throw away any so much goodwill by going against the Labour manifesto and announcing new oil fields before he's even taken office. The past few weeks have been a grim reminder that the planet is getting warmer. We can't afford a PM in the pocket of big oil.

Huge thank you to everyone who came to Storytelling: Order Out of Chaos! Chaos was definitely the theme of the night from distracting doggos, Thomas D. Lee not understanding people saying their characters misbehave until he met Merlin & Sarah Rees Brennan revealing she longs for the Misery cage!

The Knight Watch, by @thomasdlee.bsky.social (pub by @orbitbooks.bsky.social) is a brilliant novel: equally funny and insightful as Discworld but reinventing its own version of the Arthuriana. Read this author as soon as possible. Full review: jamreads.com/reviews/the-... 💙📚

50 - The Knight Watch by Thomas D Lee This book is amazing!! Queer knights of the round table killing nazis, what more do you need? It's also got Isolde absolutely fed up with Tristan's nonsense, a nod or two to the Sword in the Stone and Agravain being a whole other level of aggravating!
