A screenshot of text from a news article. The text reads: "Settlers near Nablus since Sunday have blockaded Palestinian homes, including one owned by a US citizen, with residents saying they have been cut off from food and other supplies.

Not-so-gentle reminder that when the AI bubble finally bursts, I'm upping my rates as punishment for the hundreds of thousands of dollars that AI cost the copywriting arm of my career in just 4 years. Keep fighting. Nudo's gotta get paid. www.wired.com/story/the-ai...

The AI Slop Backlash Is Actually Having an Impact

Platforms are finally recognizing that people don’t want to consume AI slop. A growing number of sites and apps now have tools and policies to flag, label, and ban AI-generated content.

Are there any special traditions either in your game world or at your ttrpg table when it comes to birthdays? What are some memorable. Moments you've had about them? #TTRPGQuestion #ttrpg #worldbuilding (art by girrafe_whisperer on reddit)

Barnaby the brass dragon from a popular reddit story of a brass dragon that a party lied to saying rhey were going to come back to celebrate with it at a party. The image depicts a brass dragon sitting in its haunches in a dessert with a blanket laid out woth cake and plates. It has a streamer with "welcome back" between its winks claws above its head and is wearing a little party hat.
