writing eldritch horror vs gothic horror

Good morning

really feeling in my cdrama era lol. Almost done with #LoveGameinEasternFantasy and I watched #TheDouble and #KillMeLoveMe before this... I was looking at Love You Seven Times (2023) to watch after this

the ultimate sisyphean task

There Is No Safe Word How the best-selling fantasy author Neil Gaiman hid the darkest parts of himself for decades.

I wrote about Neil Gaiman, and the women accusing him of sexual coercion, assault and abuse. www.vulture.com/article/neil...

A landscape scene. A red temple sits surrounded by trees near a waterfall in the shadow of a tall mountain. Stairs can be seen leading up the mountain between the trees. Clouds float around parts of the scene.

After this article was originally published, Liz Sweeney, a Meta spokesperson, told 404 Media that "there is confusion" on the internet between what Hayes told the Financial Times and what is being talked about online now. She also said they are deleting these older profiles. "There is confusion: the recent Financial Times article was about our vision for AI characters existing on our platforms over time, not announcing any new product," Sweeney said. "The accounts referenced are from a test we launched at Connect in 2023. These were managed by humans and were part of an early experiment we did with AI characters. We identified the bug that was impacting the ability for people to block those AIs and are removing those accounts to fix the issue.” 

NEW: Meta tells me that it is deleting the AI profiles that are currently going viral, and that there is "confusion" about these versus what is to come in the future.

A few of them are being deleted as we speak:

text: turning the page to a new year image: a two-panel black and white comic drawn on grid paper a white rabbit furiously slams open a door, a stressed look on their face "MESSAGE TO ALL BITCHES" the first speech bubble reads a second, closer image of the same rabbit, eyebrows furrowed, sweat beading, mouth screaming "PLEASE SURVIVE"

it's that time

Picture of a page from a Mo Willems children’s story Elephant and Piggie, wherein piggie is offering Elephant a bowl of green goo with flies buzzing around it while yelling “Do you want to try my slop?” - Elephant does not look excited

WOOOOOW

IT WAS SO GOOD. JUST. LUSH. AMAZING.

It is mind boggling to me as someone who has only read S&B that The Familiar is written by the same person lol #booksky

Oh hell no. Who is this? I watch/follow a lot of food influencers

A two panel comic strip. Panel 1: A light gray human shape (like a thicc stick figure) labelled "THE WEALTHY ELITE" reaches greedily, mouth open in excitement, towards a large floating yellow ball that is labelled "A SECOND GILDED AGE" Panel 2: same as above, but behind the gray figure (who now has a sweat drop to indicate nervousness on its head) is a VERY large pink blob labelled "THE RETURN OF OUTLAW FOLL HEROES" with one arm wrapped around the gray figure, expression quietly threatening

Please tell me who first posted this so I can properly credit, bc it made me laugh hard this morning

People with homes are so rarely cold at night that I just don’t think homes are necessary anymore.

Article screenshot: Adobe's stock drop highlights a fundamental disconnect over AI. Adobe's management team is bullish on the AI opportunity in creative services, but Wall Street is growing impatient on the revenue Runway. A chart shows Adobe is down 16% the past five days, a sharp decline and loss of $87 a share.

A gentle breeze rocks the house of cards.

IU announces she’s providing food and hot packs for protestors, available to fans (Uaena) and nonfans alike.

I strongly suspect that some of the rise of anti-vax and anti-public health sentiment in this country can be tied to the fact that legitimate heath care is run as a complex, interlocking set of scams. Hard to trust the science when the edifice around it drips with maggots
