If you need a pickmeup, Ukraine struck and destroyed a Russian data center last night, reducing Russian bot traffic by 50%, dropping online pro-AfD discussion to zero, cratering MAGA traffic, and making Elon big mad. Just in time for the mid-terms. Slava fucking Ukraini.

The MAGA influencer crew just tried to pull a massive smear campaign on Texas senate candidate James Talarico claiming they had a recording of a hospital employee at the Ohio based Lindner Center for Hope where they claimed he was hospitalized for mental health issues. It fell apart immediately.

I would be EXTREMELY annoyed to discover my PR is "AI"-generated, and as someone bombarded with dozens of "AI"-generated emails daily, I assure you the stink of "AI" is immediately noticable and immediately dismissible. Publishers are not doing their new books any favors in using it.

Elon just blasted his home address to his 240 million followers along with his order number and last 4 of his Amex charge card while shilling grok bot. Someone else canceled his order.

Imagine going 5-1 up, then the opposition comes back and scores the equalizer in the 97th minute, before you win in the 99th minute. And all the goals are scored in the second half.

she said "you can do anything in fiction as long as the situation afterwards is more interesting that the situation before." since then i have been keeping an eye on character death in fiction. many writers seem to think that character death "raises the stakes" but actually just makes things boring

many years ago i was in a Q&A with Holly Black and asked her about a scene in one of her books where ~2/3rds of the named character very suddenly die in a botched assassination-turned-massacre. most of the time, this makes me check out. but this one kept me very engaged. "how did you do that?"

Having grown up in Wales, I can testify that if you are actually worried about your culture and history being under threat, the thing to do is write poetry and songs, perform plays, tell stories and organise festivals, not just sit around whining.

Saw the trailer for Gods Don’t Give Gifts. I knew nothing about it until a few minutes ago, but pegged it quickly as AI slop. The nonsensical mishmash of images and plastic AI look with no cohesive visual style made it obvious. The Joe Rogan endorsement was the cherry on the shit sundae.

I fear we’re ignoring the reality that there are people who think it’s a fine idea to throw our rulebooks into an LLM and have it spit out a vibe-coded version of our games Players will take advantage of opportunities to “try the game” and form their opinions based on these… things

These are the 20th and 21st paragraphs of a story titled "Superpowers Race to Put Nuclear Reactors on the Moon" www.nytimes.com/2026/10/04/w...
Target dates have repeatedly slipped, and [highlight] few experts expect the countries to meet their deadlines. [/highlight] Nobody has a proven lander that can lower heavy, potentially radioactive material onto bumpy lunar terrain. Nobody has ever installed a reactor in low gravity.

The moon bases have not been built, and how much electricity they would need is open to speculation. That is why experts say that all or parts of the reactor designs could change.

“I’m not even aware” is the most truth he’s recently told.
Are you going to ignore the courts when they say this this denial is—
Well, the court actually said that, if you look at the judge's decision, he's been a very anti-Trump judge, which is very interesting. But if you look at his decision, he really said process. He talked about-come back to us with process.
He's a Trump-appointed judge. He was appointed by you.
Yeah, he was. He was. It's one of those things.
You don't think you're ignoring what he ordered you to do? You don't think you're ignoring his order?
No, I'm not. I'm not ignoring his order. I'm just saying that when I don't have to go out of my way, these people write only bad stories. When they say orders, what order? I'm not even aware.
