Moorcock's Elric has such a weird niche in the ecosystem of the imagination. Imagine creating a character so pervasively but subtly influential that a thousand artists recreate him without knowing who he is.
This post brought to you by the 10,000th OC I briefly thought was supposed to be him.

This is something the Nazis used to do to Jewish children in the camps. It happened to a man I knew when he was a child in Auschwitz. The camp guards thought it was funny as hell.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

Can only assume that this is because Goran, kind Goran, shares accounts of Palestinian folks in dire need of help and financial support. So incredibly shameful on behalf of the Bluesky moderators. I hope they change their hearts before their callousness and cruelty destroys all that they love.
Bluesky suspended Goran Gligovic, the guy that makes nice art. Jesus fucking Christ Bluesky

Also I think the concept of a nation-state has no redeeming qualities whatsoever if you discount the fact that flags are fun to learn about

I can say till I'm blue in the face that the apostrophe in "it's" ALWAY denotes a contraction of "it is" & never a possessive, but I'm just saying words. They want to learn crafting plot, character. World-building. But those are only dimly apparent if they're built on a rotting foundation.

This is from Haaretz, an Israeli news site. It proves that Israeli concentration camp soldiers have been ordered to deliberately shoot at unarmed Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid.
No Western media will run this story or even refer to it, because real Western journalism is mostly dead.

A.I. may kill people and ruin families, but it also helps a lot of people generate photos of Shrek and Super Mario playing in a band, so, it's impossible to say if its bad or not

Stopped at a coffee shop to grab something and while waiting I see this adorable couple, probably teens, one with dyed red hair, the other blue, and the guy’s got an INVADER ZIM bag. They had no idea who I was and that infuriated me, like what the FUCK?! I threw hot coffee at them and stole the bag.
