Mutant Cat 1 has eaten so much of Mutant Cat 2's food over the past few months that he's put on a fair bit of weight. I guess we have to supervise feedings even more than we already do. Sigh. Old cats are like senile toddlers who can (and will) get into everything.
I will say some of the push for AI in writing is how a lot of non-AI writers think the point of writing is to get published and no, the point of writing is to remove the weird little thing from your body and teach it tricks
Good. We should all be doing the same. The U.S ambassador to Canada is a bad joke.
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 2d agoNEWS: Iceland has summoned the U.S. ambassador after Trump posted a map depicting Iceland, Canada, Greenland and other countries and territories under the American flag.

Turns out you really do need food inspectors after all
FactPost@factpostnews.bsky.social · 2d agoThe FDA has announced a recall of 25 varieties of cream cheese due to possible contamination with listeria.
The things that are stressing me out today: 1. Launch venue is allergic to returning emails. If you send a menu & invite me to reply with questions or if I want to book a call...please respond to emailed questions & requests for a call. 2. Will books ship to Canadian stores in time for events?

It's me! I've never opened ChatGPT or any other LLM. Why would I? I'm more than capable of writing my stories, books, and emails on my own. I've also switched to a no-AI browser to avoid the inaccuracy-riddled AI overviews being shoved down our throats. Fuck generative AI.

Just watched Lee Cronin's The Mummy & really enjoyed it. We went in with zero knowledge. It wasn't at all what I expected but was well paced, well acted & creepy AF. Note to self - never live in a house with crawl-spaces in the walls!
The proto-Effin’ Birds was my Tumblr “Swear Trek”. It opened a lot of doors for me and I wouldn’t be where I am today without it. I don’t have plans to revive it (one daily comic is enough work), just wanted to thank it for getting me here on this 60th anniversary of Star Trek.
I just got my Anthropic settlement email. I am also dealing with contested copyrights. I swear to fuck, you assholes, you stole my shit, you better not be paying someone else for it.
Almost accurate for me, who grew up in a small town in cottage country -Torontonians would call it Northern Ontario, but it really wasn't that far north! It's a cottage, and while I know what it is, none of our circle ever had a Stag & Doe.
ℳatt@matttomic.bsky.social · 6d agoI've seen everyone sharing that US Dialect Quiz so I decided to make my own, much crappier, CANADIAN DIALECT QUIZ to guess where in Canada you're from
Got my covid and flu shots today! Don't forget to get yours!
Woman employee at print shop: We can absolutely scan your illustrations and help you with editing and layout for stickers. Man employee at same print shop, one week later: No, you have to do all the layout yourself. Maybe photocopy the picture and draw a border on with white pencil? 🤬🤬🤬
As always, there's no time like the present to wear an antlered crown and a moss cloak and become a new god of the old woods.
Just in the few minutes since I posted this, I've gotten enough responses to indicate that these mistaken claims aren't uncommon or isolated. Please keep passing them on beware@sfwa.org
Victoria Strauss@victoriastrauss.com · 7d agoI know I already posted about this...but to reiterate: Anthropic copyright settlement authors, PLEASE contact me (Writer Beware) if your publisher is making a claim on a book whose rights have reverted, or claiming anything other than a 50/50 split on an in-contract book. beware@sfwa.org

Courtney Milan@courtneymilan.com · last wk.FINALLY: If anyone gets a response from a publisher that is something along the lines of "yeah, we just asserted ownership for all titles that had our name listed as publisher regardless of reversion status" PLEASE send that information to me or @victoriastrauss.com.
It sucks that "I am unhappy, therefore I must destroy someone or something" is such a prevalent impulse that it touches every point of the political spectrum.
