“Oh, they have bodies, all right. You just can’t see them. Their faces are usually all they manage to show, and they can’t poke them all the way through, so they stay flattened out. It’s like their faces are pressed up against window glass.

“Oh, they have bodies, all right. You just can’t see them. Their faces are usually all they manage to show, and they can’t poke them all the way through, so they stay flattened out. It’s like their faces are pressed up against window glass. But sometimes they get not only their faces but their whole heads through—partway, anyway. That’s what can happen when you give them too much attention. You can tell because they start to have a thickness and a shape and pop up from the surface. When that happens, be extra careful.”

No doubt this has occurred to other bystanders as well, but it would seem that a handful of billionaires dropping $150 million into a single state's election in an attempt to defeat a wealth-tax initiative just about makes the entire case for a wealth-tax initiative.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

John Picacio’s response to Must Read Magazine’s request for his waiver of all Moral Rights and Copyright of his commissioned art for an ASIMOV’S assignment. Short version — Picacio says a resounding NOPE.

Some may recall the great run we had with my 'lit rag' Shadows and Tall Trees. A Shirley Jackson win, several stories reprinted in "Best Of's. Our new lit rag, Pale Grey Idol, harkens back to that aesthetic. 100 pages at 5" x 8". A little gem of dark wonders.

Covers to Issue Zero of Pale Grey Idol, and issues 1 thru 5 of Shadows & Tall Trees.
