Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

If you’re a Hachette author you should be talking to your editors and teams about this. If they’re using AI to counter AI, it’s still AI. And it may also be giving your work to the machine, serving it up on a contractual platter.
honestly very funny to see the line "We find that AI use impairs conceptual understanding, code reading, and debugging abilities, without delivering significant efficiency gains on average" in a study paid for by anthropic inc
Civil rights leaders and defense attorneys say they believe Holland lacks regards for the rights of Black defendants.
“He’s demonstrated that he is untrustworthy, unreserved in his aggression and without any judicial temperament,” one attorney said.

I made my stories because I wasn't satisfied with other people's stories. Mine aren't necessarily better stories, just stories made for ME.
That dissatisfaction is inspiration.
You're supposed to go make your own stuff with it, not harass other people for making their stuff.
Goes without saying: this is a feature, not a bug
By the time they throw out your case, you've been brutalized by cops. You spent hours or possibly days in jail. Your family had to scrape together bail money. You miss work to go to court. You spend months terrified of months or years in jail

JUST IN: Governor Abigail Spanberger last night returned this bill to lawmakers with an amendment request (rather than signing it).
Her amendment would clarify that sheriffs/jails are allowed to honor ICE detainers, i.e. warrantless ICE requests to keep someone in jail beyond their release.

About halfway through "Morsel" by Carter Keane, how are you all doing? (It's only about six hours long, I said. How scary could it be, I said.)

Hi #PortfolioDay!
I'm Kholbatar, freelance artist!
My favorite themes to draw? Noir, Art Deco, and cyberpunk.
Do you like them too? Welcome!
A WIP of a digital painting: A green background in varying shades, with a towering thing based on a deer skull with branches for antlers and more skulls and bones hanging from those branches. The deer skull is not normal either and has tusks. Half-jaws of carnivorous beasts form something like a split open rib cage framing a human figure missing their right hand who is either unshaken by the thing behind them or unaware of its presence.
Extreme levels of trust the process going.

Despite cuts in cancer research funding, advances continue.
We are so close to eradicating cancer.
A single bacterial dose from frog gut microbiota eliminated tumors in mice.
We need funds to continue research. This is personal.

My definitely wise adult choice for today was to fit two fruit trees into the back of a CRV and drive them home. Somehow I did not break any branches!
Anyway now we have a Redhaven dwarf peach and a Cortland Apple.

Interest has been low this time around, which is understandable given current events. However, bills must be paid, so I'm boosting this again in the hopes of a few more spots getting claimed.

Thank you all for your shares and interest!

Three threads posts from “honeylyaaisha” claiming to be from new Hampshire and in various forms asking to be friends with people “who don’t like what’s happening” the entire feed being similar and creating a strong vibe of fishing for information
OK so if you spot someone on say, threads feed and you go check them out and their ENTIRE feed seems to be nothing but: I'm from (State) and looking to connect with people. if you don't like what's going on we should be friends'...
...
That's entirely a trap isn't it. A loony toon box and stick one.

Like fossil fuel executives, AI titans have long insisted that their technology is inevitable. That, too, seems not to be true.

It was a very well-INTENTIONED purge of the spice cabinet but -I have to make pies-.
... I am definitely going to make a pecan pie specifically for me.
NGL I dread these holiday weekends, I end up running around so much that when I can finally sit down and look at my writing that I can -feel- the words I want to write but can't seem to write them.
And having to run to the store -specifically- because someone tossed the nutmeg in a purge...
I dunno if prologues and epilogues are part of the main story but I do know your publisher should pay you a separate fee and/or offer a contractually guaranteed budget if they expect you to market your own book because that’s not your job nor what your advance or royalties are for.
