Johnny Horton - I'm Coming Home (1957) youtu.be/5HIlm1M5EiE Original Billboard review: 'The singer, who had a big one in "I'm a One-Woman Man" not long ago, has material in "I'm Coming Home" that could give him his biggest record to date. He is cast in a pounding, "down home" blues item here...'

Stephen Hudgins shared this great snapshot of his dad (far right) and his dad's siblings in 1927 near Forney, Texas. They were 3 of 13 children, all of whom started working on the farm and picking cotton when they began to walk. This is the only photo Stephen's family has of his father as a boy.
April Roche shared this photo of grandmother, Sammijeanne (Nunn) Cowden, who passed away this past March at the age of 95. Per April, she was a beautiful soul inside and out, and this pic was her as the elected 1948 Amarillo High School Band Queen. She played French horn, trumpet, and piano.
Something real is happening in rural Iowa. Voters who backed Ernst, Grassley, & Trump are turning out for Josh Turek because they’ve finally had enough. That’s not a fluke; it’s a movement building right in front of us, and we’ve got 90 days for it to keep growing! #BlueWaveIn90Days

HOW WILL I KNOW IF MY SYNOPSIS IS GOOD IF I DON'T RUN IT THROUGH AI?!?! You fucking don't. You do the work, you sweat over it, you draft and draft again. You walk through the fear. You celebrate. It's a very human process. Creativity is humanity to its core. Why take that away from yourself?

Just now
With regard to today's HWA/Newsletter discourse, here's something I had to say about Al in a recent interview:
"There's been a steady erosion of appreciation in the work that real artists do. Somehow, the work that entertains and enriches our lives has been deemed disposable and not worth actual effort. Personally, it's been disheartening to see a percentage of the populace embrace the soulless slop that Al produces; it's hurtful to see many non-artists shrug their shoulders and say, 'So what?' or 'It's not going away, so just use it.' It's infuriating to find many so-called 'Al artists' who are ripping people off by charging for their slop and passing it as a professionally-made cover; doubly so for the authors and publishers out there who are embracing it and feigning shock when they're called out, or worse, simply not caring about the negative impact it has on the world. Whenever I see an Al cover, I question the integrity of the author whose words are being represented. You can't claim to have pride in your work if you're using a system that was trained on the stolen work of thousands of other artists. It's malignant hypocrisy. ...] [We need to] educate the public on the dangers of Al usage and adjudicate the bad actors who insist on using it within creative spaces. To quote Batman, it is the weapon of the enemy. We do not need it; we will not use it."
So, there's that.
Furthermore, an organization that publishes a trustee's pro-Al rant to an audience of creatives whose work was literally stolen to train LLMs is not only questionable, but negligent and disingenuous as well--especially when the trustee is actively promoting their own Al-powered app. The author's false-equivalency comparing the matter to the struggles of indigenous folks is both ignorant and deceptive.
To the HWA: Fix your org. And to the author: Fix your heart.
