Fantasy author, gamer, dabbles in 3D renders, probably rather too fond of coffee (always black).

I am an avowed agnostic, yet every day I pray for PP to be pulled into the sewers and messily eaten by a cannibal clown

Rob Reiner was a good guy. He made a lot of movies about good guys, in worlds where not everyone was good and you didn’t have to be good. He made movies about people trying. He was angry, as many hopeful people are. He knew the world could be better and he wanted it to be. His death is devastating.

Seconded. Really fun, sometimes scary, sometimes hilarious, really good stories.

Not to add to the discourse, but…

It’s β€˜toe the line,’ not β€˜tow the line.’
It’s β€˜free rein,’ and not β€˜free reign.’
It’s β€˜eke out,’ not β€˜eek out.’
It’s β€˜sleight of hand,’ not β€˜slight of hand.’
It's β€˜Anchors aweigh,’ and not β€˜Anchor's away!’

DuckDuckGo has introduced a new feature allowing users to filter out AI-generated images from search results, addressing growing concerns over synthetic content overwhelming authentic visuals online. 
The filter can be activated through a dropdown in the Images tab, search settings, or by using a dedicated AI-free domain: noai.duckduckgo.com. The system relies on curated blocklists, including uBlockOrigin’s Huge AI Blocklist, to detect and suppress AI-generated imagery. 
While not perfect, it significantly reduces synthetic content visibility. This move sets DuckDuckGo apart from competitors like Google and Bing by giving users direct control over their exposure to AI-generated material.

Mel Brooks produced The Elephant Man: this was his response to Paramount’s demand for changes

"We are involved in a business venture. We screened the film for you, to bring you up to date as to the status of that venture. Do not misconstrue this as our soliciting the input of raging primitives."

A Readers Say graphic for Copper Script with quotes: 

Joel is an incorrigible gremlin and I absolutely adore him; Aaron is a tall glass of trauma with a steel backbone and an admirable moral compass. 

A tense page turner with a dazzlingly romantic ending, and one of the best couple dynamics I’ve had the pleasure of reading in a while.

A refreshing blend of historical accuracy mixed with wit, humor, a well-crafted and thought out plot, and compelling leads

I devoured this book like it was my job and enjoyed every second of it.

You will absolutely want to eat a curry afterwards.

Dragon Age promo shot with white text in black bubbles. It says:

Thank you Bioware

We wanted to take a moment to thank the devs who brought us into Thedas over the course of four games, almost twenty years and a lot of emotions to go with it. 

As fans, we appreciate the hard work that has gone into creating a rich, beautiful, deadly, and sometimes gross world for us to roam free in. 

We don't know what's in store for Thedas going forward but we wanted to thank the devs who sunk their heart, soul, blood and tears into creaing a fantasy that brought many of us together.

One of our slides from the Whatever it Takes panel. We wanted to be sure any of the devs who worked on DA past & present knew we (at least) appreciate the hard work to make Thedas a world we all loved roaming in.

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks Amazon brand will offer more than 100 artificial intelligence-generated voices in English and other languages

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots
