There's a meteor shower that peaks tonight and I feel like that's an auspicious time to check out my novella, which has at least two shooting stars in it

Kris Madigan@krismadigan.bsky.social · 4mo ago

Of All the Stars is a vibes heavy sapphic novella, in which you can find: 🦊 a cutie pie arctic fox 👀 slow realization of feelings ❄️ two girls from wildly different places 🐎 travel by horseback 💫 frequent mention of stars Get it here: kris-madigan.itch.io/of-all-the-s...

Blue and white marbled background with a translucent white rectangle over it to separate the text, which reads: Of All the Stars It's faint, like the throb of a heartbeat when one puts their head on a pillow, but she can feel it always. The magic that courses through her veins, that powers the city, thrums within her

Adding GenAI to everything and not telling you in hopes you don't turn it off is for sure a great sign that everyone likes it and it's a totally valid business and not a scam.

im always excited when webcomic creators make their own site, but not everyone knows what a site needs! i'd recommend adding: - about page (the comic AND you) - archive page - cast page - extras page (art, fanart etc) - links page/sidebar (where to find you elsewhere AND other comics you read)

Remember when they were pinkie promising that they wouldn't train it on what was in docs? 🙄 (Re-sharing image with ALT text)

I cannot fathom how this happened. I am a solo game dev. Yesterday, a player on my Discord was asking the Google Search Al silly questions about my game, to laugh at some of the answers. But the answers sometimes contained surprisingly obscure info that should not be available for a small indie game like mine. Out of curiosity, I chimed in and asked the player to ask the Al about future contents in my game. Somehow, the Al spitted out the exact & highly specific character name "Vantage Tripod", which I had never mentioned to anyone. As far as I know, the only place where the info exists in a digital form is inside one of my own Google Docs, and this was NOT me speaking to the All (The player even asked the questions in incognito). My game is not big enough for there to be much noise out there to confuse Google's Al, so I guess that's why it managed to give actual, scarily real leaks on my game (without being confused by online speculations), and I have no idea how it knew all this. The screenshots only included snippets of the conversation. This is the full conversation on Discord, in case you want to get your own opinion on what happened (The entire conversation with the player lasted for an hour, where the Al gave other upcoming content info such as things I'd only ever mentioned on Discord). Edit: kallico from Discord has been sharing comparisons between her private GDD (never made into anything) and Google's responses when she asked for ideas based on her game title. Hers is a much more reproducible case where the responses matched her GDD to a concerning degree across multiple clean contexts, and did not feel like reasonable things an Al could have inferred from her prompt. When she tried the same questions with Claude (which shouldn't have access to Google Docs), the responses were far more reasonable and significantly less similar to the contents of her doc.

GOOGLE DOCS USES AI THAT TRAINS ON ANYTHING YOU WRITE IN IT, EVEN IF ITS A “PRIVATE” DOCUMENT. It’s now possible for users to get Google Docs’ AI to share information that is otherwise not publicly accessible, if it was written in Google Docs at some point. You CANNOT trust it w/ confidential info

You can’t make a better world by allowing bigots to be openly bigoted. You have to make bigots behave. You want a job? Don’t be a bigot. You want to eat out? Don’t be a bigot. There needs to be more material conditions that make life harder for bigots. Society is worse because bigotry is rewarded.

Rent lowering take: Too many ppl on the internet use autism in their vocabulary as an easy excuse when what they want to say is "My views are full of prejudice and close minded as fuck". I'm on the spectrum and the 'quirkification' of something that affected my entire sense of self drives me insane.

So embarrassing when people think the point of reading a novel is to know the plot, so a summary is just as good. The plot isn’t important, you rube. You absolute simpleton. The point of reading a novel is to find out what the characters are eating and start thinking about what you want for dinner.

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.

"FT has found evidence of controlled detonations and demolitions by Israeli forces and civilian contractors in dozens of border communities." Most of the destruction happened *after* the April ceasefire when territory was already under Israeli control (dark red dots). www.ft.com/content/25bc...

40 followers is pretty sick but the number I'm looking for is over 60. Can we get there this week? If you've read Beyond Bringers before and loved it, now's the time to let everyone know. Just 20 more to go!

I'm so excited to announce that I will be running a crowdfunder for the print version of Beyond Bringers as part of The Book Bazaar 2026. Check out the teaser page and follow along on backerkit to get access to exclusive prelaunch goodies and activities!

A graphic that says "Beyond Bringers The Complete Print Edition. A Queer sci-fi horror novel about language, limits, and control." It is comprised of cool tones, a swirling, grungy backdrop, and Farron smiling eerily at the viewer while Byrne disappears into the background.

Healthcare is suicide prevention. Housing is suicide prevention. Childcare is suicide prevention. Universal basic income is suicide prevention. When we ensure people have their basic needs met, mental health improves.
