twitter has important news for me today

[atlaari]

some details in my Rockstat poster:

love love love including symbolic jewelry especially with my IWTV pieces and so I made Lestat wear Bailey Bass' vamp ring and the red choker he wears in the first (?) season 3 promo.

The blood spattered guitar has made an appearance in the trailers and ofc he would have that.

Another piece of jewellery I can't leave out is a cross. Nothing pairs well together like Catholicism and vampirism, especially when said vampire used to want to be a priest and is now a glam/punk/goth? rockstar. I also think Lestat would wear an inverted pentagram purely to be contrarian.

If one of Lestat's songs is not titled 'Come to me' I will riot.

Thank you for coming to my artist statement.

Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

Bixonimania doesn’t exist except in a clutch of obviously bogus academic papers. So why did AI chatbots warn people about this fictional ill

Key points:

the paper was obviously fake to a human reader: it starts by saying it's fake and says it multiple times throughout

the paper says it was funded by the Professor Sideshow Bob University of Trickery and thanks contributors from the USS Enterprise and the Fellowship of the Ring

the paper has already been erroneously cited in a real research paper

LLMs give different information depending on the prompt, so sometimes they mention that the fake condition is "perhaps pseudoscience" and sometimes they tell people to see a doctor because they have the fake condition

absolutely no one is taking any responsibility for this shit, except maybe Nature, because they retracted the paper that cited the fake paper

LLMs don't think. They can't analyse. They can only repeat and remix thoughtlessly.

So listen i have this book coming out in uhhh 10 days and I am Worried about it, because it is a Comedy, and comedy is really hard to market (why????? it's funny pirates, what's not to like??) even when it is, yanno, normal mainstream comedy.

It is even worse when it is Unhinged Comedy That's Mostly Going To Be Funny To People On Tumblr. (For example, the main character being a supreme gremlin made of 90% memes by weight (examples: carries around a bag that is never called anything but his "little rucksack"; has a near-verbatim "stick me legy out real far" moment; talks about his metaphorical "orphan gruel bowl" which is a direct reference to that one Oliver Twist gif) because those are funny to me personally.) Unhinged Tumblr Comedy is difficult because tumblr is not a platform where it is easy to market things to people, because we are generally violently anti-capitalist and LOATHE advertisements and reflexively resist being marketed to for most anything. I LOVE that about this website. Except for right now, because I have bills to pay and a cat to feed. So look, fellow tumblr gremlins, I am just trying to say that if your personal brand of comedy is laughing at the kind of jokes that could only be produced on this hell website, and:

you like pirates

you're queer and want to read more books by queer authors

you want your fictional queer characters to be a hell of a lot more Messy and Unhinged than they often are depicted as being

you're interested in seeing a love triangle (M/M/NB) that resolves into polyamory

you want books where the hottest character gets to makes Passionate Speeches about rebelling against oppressive institutional regimes like governments and organized religions

you believe that capitalism is the most oppressive institutional regime of them all

you think it's fun when two characters have been in a 15-year-long relationship where the vibes have been "We're Newly Divorced" nearly since day one

you believe that All Cops Are Bastards and want to know what to do when you get pulled over by the boat cops

you think the Great British Bake-Off would be improved with weaponry, ritualized bribery/coercion of judges, and elaborate shit-talk

then this book might be for you. Beneath the wall-to-wall hijinks, it is political and it is righteously angry and it is the funniest thing I have ever written (which is saying something, because I have written some funny shit). It's called RUNNING CLOSE TO THE WIND. Here's a picture of it.

If all that sounds cool, you can read a review of it here and the first chapter of it here to see if it as funny as I am claiming it is, and then if you think that it is, you can preorder it here. It comes out on June 11! Ten days from now!

Thank you for letting me market to you for a minute. Signal boosting would be very much appreciated.

I manage to get an eARC of this book (highlight of my year) and can confirm it is absurdly funny. I was half worried my neighbors would call in a noise complaint with how hard I was laughing. Also if you are a fancy books™️ person like myself the broken bonding has a BEAUTIFUL signed edition with painted edges, foiling, the works

[daniellepal]

Good news: this book IS one of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Comedy is Hard but THIS BOOK is pure comedy. (With a side of horny and heart)

[wizard-of-docs]

okay, I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this going in, but when I got to "he'd managed to rhyme 'strap-on' with 'denouement`" I had to put my laptop down because I was laughing so hard I was worried I'd drop it

and I sent just that line to my partner, who I'd expect to be much more in the target audience for this kind of Gremlin Story than me, and said "I might have to buy this book."

[ariaste]

Friends, pals, buds, it has been nearly a year since the book came out, and the paperback is coming out next month (June 17th)!!! So if you have been waiting for the paperback, now is time to preorder it!

[mrsgurgle]

You need this book.

[libraford]

My girlfriend and I quote this book constantly because it's just that good.

[halfahundredcats]

y’all this is my favorite book that i read last year, it made me laugh on literally every page. it should be doing numbers on here, especially in the ofmd fandom, please read it if you haven’t.
