I also received this email and “essay” from HWA and it enraged me. Eternal gratitude to Chuck for writing a spot-on response. Fuck GenAI into the sun.
Chuck Wendig@chuckwendig.bsky.social · 6h agoProfessional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.
Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Just as I don't want to read a book by someone who couldn't be bothered to write it, I *definitely* don't want to eat food by someone who doesn't want me to see that food in actual photo form. You're advertising a product that does not and cannot exist in corporeal reality. WTF.

Please stop flying your personal drones over wildfires. They can ground or collide with our firefighting aircraft, disrupting time critical firefighting and threatening people’s homes. Your photos are not worth someone’s home. If you fly, we can’t.
I really really REALLY wish people would stop bringing x/Twitter screenshots here. I left that cesspool for a reason. And yet, people still want to bring buckets of that shit here.
The front page of this morning’s Spokesman-Review, Aug. 2, 2026, the day after one of the worst wildfires in Washington state history. More than 600 structures, mostly homes, have been lost in the #OldTrailsFire. Read local news.
This thread - documenting the rapid growth of a new fire into Spokane, WA today - is terrifying. We’re used to wildfires in the Northwest but what’s happening right now in eastern Washington is not normal.
Spokane Rising@spokanerising.com · 4d agoHoly crap. Level 3 (GO NOW!) zone now includes urban Spokane, south of Francis to Wellesley. Level 2 (GET SET!) zone now extends east of Division. Not to be alarmist, but at this rate, it’s not inconceivable that the Old Trails Fire merges with the Fairview Fire.
Another new wildfire has started NW of the #OldTrailsFire. This is being called the #AutumnLaneFire and is currently south of Charles Road. This is WEST of the Spokane River. #wawx #wawildfire.
This is about a worst case scenario that you can imagine for Spokane. Level 3 GO NOW evacs extend all the way to Division. Absolutely heartbreaking. #wawx #wawildfire #OldTrailsFire
Disastrous situation in Spokane, Wash. where a wildfire is burning through the northwest side of the city amid extreme dry winds. Gridlock traffic as emergency management rapidly expands evacuation zones eastward. Follow on @watchduty.org: share.watchduty.org/i/112554?ts=...

If somebody came to one of my writing classes with a novel about a “24-year-old wunderkind” on Wall Street called Leopold Aschenbrenner who graduated from Columbia aged 19, looked and dressed exactly like this, and crashed the stock market, I’d advise them to tone it down a bit

Overnight, a masked bandit broke into our kitchen. Armed with opposable thumbs, he proceeded to sample everything on offer. I’d just visited the farmers market, so the menu was extensive. I can now share a highly specific peer-reviewed list of what this particular raider did & did not enjoy. 🧵

For all my L.A. peeps, go see this show! I promise you won't regret it! You'll be talking about this play for days, weeks, months after. As with all of Erik Patterson's plays, you'll be obsessed with what you just experienced, and you'll want to experience it again. Trust me.
