Again, not a bad thing, but are some of these stories really that good, or are people getting confused into thinking they're good because ‘if they're published by #bigProMag they must be’?

Sometimes I if editors aren't publishing stories for their readers, but for themselves, where the things they're putting out there are just off the wall mostly because they've seen so many stories, they're bored of more traditional narrative. I'm not saying that's bad, but that's the vibe I get

www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202... Report the facts. It’s not difficult. No one asked the media not to fact check Kamala or ANY politician. And do you really have to publish what Trump says? Clearly not. Be honest, you’re doing it because it gets you attention, not because it’s newsworthy

Opinion | I say, without evidence, that the media’s Trump qualifiers are backfiring

We in the news media are making him less accountable for his mendacity, rather than more so.

arstechnica.com/information-... This future we’re living in fucking SUCKS. I was promised hoverboards and flying cars, WTF is the bullshit they’ve given us?

Landmark AI deal sees Hollywood giant Lionsgate provide library for AI training

Runway deal will create a Lionsgate AI video generator, but not everyone is happy.

Damnit, I am so upset. I’ve been in a horrible publishing dry spell this year, and I just got a personal rejection from a huge pro magazine informing me of just how insanely close my story was to acceptance. Ohhhh that burns, it burns so bad! #writing#horror

Yup. I keep getting held by some really big markets, but ultimately no bites so far this year. I didn’t submit anything the first half of the year though, so I guess that’s on me. Your cosmic payback theory gave me a genuine LOL, though, as I did the exact same thing when I ran one years back…

Starter Pack 2 is closed, but here is Starter Pack 3! go.bsky.app/SFYN9on

I write horror! I've been published by Crystal Lake, Flame Tree Press, others. Had a story in the MOTHER antho that was a Stoker finalist. Can I join this list, friend?
