Unreal… Elon: Don’t use Starlink to kill people. Zelensky: I used Starlink to kill people. Legacy Media: Elon is a monster for stopping Zelensky from using Starlink to kill people. Democrats: We must investigate Elon for stopping Zelensky from using Starlink to kill people.

I got this joke when I was 8. The internet revealed to me that there are now 20 years old who don’t get it.

"STOP USING AI!! USE REAL PHOTOS!!" Screamed from a smartphone. On the internet. In 2026. BRO. Today I'm going to explain something very, very slowly, because apparently a few people in my replies haven't quite finished evolving. WHOSE FUCKING PHOTOS? Yours? Mine? Some photographer's work I'm supposed to grab off Google because your delicate little eyeballs can't handle AI? I travel between Japan and America, writing stories from my own experiences, books, and research. AI helps polish my writing and create the illustrations. Almost every picture is AI. That's it. I'm entertaining people, not laundering money for the fucking Colombian cartel. When your posts regularly hit a MILLION impressions, copyright complaints arrive faster than mosquitoes at a naked barbecue. Takedowns. Lawsuit threats. You can praise a restaurant so much the owner wants to name his firstborn after you, and still get a legal complaint over the photograph. But your brilliant philosophy is: If I CREATE an image, I'm a fraud. If I STEAL an image, I'm authentic. HOLY SHIT. Did your frontal lobe come out with the placenta and get thrown in the medical waste bin? And here's my favorite part. You're holding a $1,000 smartphone, surrounded by algorithms and AI, screaming that modern technology is unnatural. MY BROTHER IN CHRIST, YOU'RE A CAVE PAINTING WITH A DATA PLAN. Seriously, if civilization hurts your feelings that much, put down the phone. Drink from a well. Ride a donkey. Send your complaints by carrier pigeon. No Wi-Fi. No AI. No GPS. Just you, a muddy cave, and a stick you can use to scratch "AI BAD" into the dirt while waiting for your frontal lobe to finish growing. Hungry? Chew a tree. Lonely? Sniff a tree. Angry? Bang your head against a tree. Congratulations, you've invented the world's first completely organic, carbon-neutral customer support system. When night falls, get down on all fours and howl at the moon until another genius answers. OOH OOH! AH AH! 🐒 And if your pigeon returns with a copyright complaint, don't shoot the messenger. That fucking bird already understands intellectual property law better than you. Now, to the normal people reading this, I love you guys. I fact-check my stories, I make mistakes, and I genuinely appreciate the corrections, memories, and personal experiences you share. I've learned a tremendous amount from you. I'm not making deepfakes to destroy lives or scamming anyone. I'm writing stories and trying to make people smile. But this is X, not a doctoral dissertation defense at Harvard. I'm posting a picture of a dog, not applying for FDA approval to transplant its fucking kidneys. If you've got facts, bring them. I'll listen. If all you've got is "AI BAD! ME ANGRY!" while drooling onto your iPhone, please understand that I don't operate a free kindergarten for adults who somehow missed 40,000 years of human civilization. Follower? Blocked. Big account? Blocked. A million followers? Congratulations, you're the most influential caveman since someone discovered fire. Still blocked. I don't care how famous you are. A verified checkmark isn't proof that your brain has passed a safety inspection. Bless your little prehistoric heart. Now take your smartphone, trade it for a rock, climb back into your cave, and write me a letter when you've discovered the alphabet. And take your pigeon with you. The last thing I need is that bird shitting in my replies while its owner explains the dangers of artificial intelligence. OOH OOH. BLOCKED. 🐒

Atheists be like "we should build a hospital instead if a church" and then not build any hospitals – at Duran, Ecuador
Be atheist. Be happy ❤️
Readers added context they thought people might want to know

The big takeaway from World Fantasy Con is the tale of two worlds in science fiction and fantasy. One world is where there's the old guard of writers who are mostly 70-90 years old, who built their careers in the silver age of the genre in the 1960s-1980s. These people are normal, intelligent, have very interesting stories about writing, interesting ideas about fiction and literary concepts to present. It's amazing to listen to them and energizing as a creative. Inspirational to keep things going. Then there's the new guard, the people who got in based on identity politics grievances. Their panels are all about how they're gay, they're trans, they're black, and they're gonna let you know it for a full hour. They will complain about AI too. It's all they have, and it's completely uninteresting, devoid of content, much like their works. Unfortunately the old guard is all gone or dying off. Robert Silverberg lamented last night that he had a lot of friends who aren't with us anymore in genre, and that's about how it's going. It's up to us to carve out a path for real art, and not let these spaces get dominated by the new guard gatekeepers. We cannot let this go. We have to care about fiction or we're going to lose something wonderful completely.

Someone told me I should lay off the blackpilling, so I'll make this post. It is absolutely POSSIBLE to turn a profit from making fiction. You don't have to live in the hell of making 3 book sales a month. You just need to adapt to the modern market.
How it feels as a sensitive young man being locked out of the industry before he was even 16.

“After I escaped Azkaban, I managed to hide by living as someone’s pet dog,” Sirius explained. “I feel bad for that kid,” Harry said. “He’ll think you ran away.” “Don’t worry,” Sirius reassured him. “It wasn’t a kid. It was a bloke. I think his name was John Wick.” Harry went completely still. “Sirius… what did you do?” “Nothing! I left! He’ll probably just get a new dog or something. I’m sure it’s nothing to worry about.”

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" Let's see. Sad Puppies Bite Back or "Sad Puppies V." I guess. I don't do impact studies. Then again, I've made converts, but that's more a book thing, I think.
Mine was a scared vampire gif with the text "oh no, PLAID!" making fun of the Netflixvania crap.

I have some sympathy...every few years, my anniversary falls on...Father's Day.
There's an Extinction Level Event (ELE) headed our way. Feb. 14th, 2027 is both Super Bowl Sunday and St Valentine's Day.

When I got back from the Middle East ten years ago I swore I'd make a point of getting up into my local Mountain West territory and appreciating it. All that flat, infernal ME desert convinced me I'd been taking my home state for granted. I have now spent the past 48 hours again being out and about in my home state. Fished 1 lake, 1 reservoir, and 1 river. Saw much natural loveliness during my most favorite time of year. Such a treat to have these mountains and this climate.
