Everyone please welcome CBS News Immigration Analyst Viktor Orban.

This appears to be a trend. I wonder if a third will try, be caught on camera, and later arrested? That would be awful.

Dreamed last night that Stephen Colbert played the lead in a sequel to "The Hateful Eight," called "The Last Hater."

It was so appallingly awful it wrapped back around to being good.

Everyone wanted to invade Afghanistan. Pure vengeful bloodthirst.

Iraq took persuasion in the form of naked lies from the politicians, who were the only ones who really wanted to go in.

Iran? Both political leaderships want it, but they know it can't be sold to the public so aren't trying.

"While Copilot buttons are being removed, it looks like the underlying AI features are here to stay, though."

Wanna bet?

Getting jaded and joyless as you grow older is a decision. You can be dismissive about the new, or you can choose to resist the calcification in your brain and put in the effort to delight in it.

All the best old people resisted, remaining engaged and interested with the new for its own sake.

Alas, no cameos for anyone other than cats!

I love your hair.

^of

Why do we have developers making stupid AI bullshit nobody wants but still no ability to edit posts to fix typos?

I mean, readers do like trash, but they like *well executed* trash. Most problems are failure of execution, failure to write to a viable market, or lack of advertising strategy.

It's very rare someone fails because readers bounce off and don't realise it's actually a work or genius.

You too!

You're welcome. I'm back to it tomorrow. The pain of bring a fulltime author: I actually have to write to pay the bills.

If you ever want a sounding board/mentorship, drop me a DM.

I know someone who swears they had an annoying ghost, and who dealt with it by just saying "I know you're there and you were here before me, but we're trying to live peacefully here, please don't be unkind to us." Apparently the annoying stuff ceased afterward.

Maybe try? Or check for gas leaks.

BTW the people who spent the last few years advocating for Palestine were clearly 100% right that normalizing war crimes and genocide there would just increase the likelihood of inhumane actions elsewhere. Just saying.

#1 Best-Rated Ongoing Story on Royal Road, and it's free to read. bsky.app/profile/ljam...

Yep, I know. I'm well aware. There's just not a fucking thing I can do about it.

One man isn't the problem. All of them are monsters. That's why they haven't done anything.

You understand? They want this.

InstallShield Wizard for installing Morrowind.

How much trouble am I about to be in?

This has my attention now. Thank you.

You're right, and that makes it even worse.

Burnt french toast, scrambled eggs, bacon... green beans? Potatoes? Strawberries?!

As an author, I feel this.

If you ever want to feel better about yourself, read any classic work of fiction, then ask yourself how much of it AI would ruin for the sake of making it clearer and more concise.

Our humanity is flourishing imperfection.

Not to be all political, but remember how Reagan lost his marbles completely, and his White House staff went on to Weekend at Bernies' him until his term was up? How they, to this day, pretend he was only diagnosed with Alzheimer's after leaving office?

Came to mind today.

Realising this is now a deep cut makes me feel old.

Thank you.

In TEWWBAD, the mentor of the protagonist encourages her to read 'too adult' books, then gives her free reign over the library if she promises to show whatever she wants to read and to listen if told to wait.

"Reading what you’re not supposed to is a rite of passage for anyone with a decent mind."

Look, I read Fifty Shades when it was popular in 2012. I was 13. I believe my main takeaway at the time was how terrible the quality of the prose was. Kids will always get their hands on this stuff, and will mostly be fine.

X just suspended an account for telling US soldiers,

in first 365 days of service can GET OUT out just by reporting "failure to adapt"

This will also apply to drafts, and may be useful information you can pass on

As a foreigner (UK), I feel this must become something every American knows
