Pope Leo XIV wrote 42.3K words on human dignity in the age of AI. (But Ellipsus has written over 65K words on the topic since 2023. 💪)

Solidarity is a weird thing… all of a sudden you’re seeing the Pope on your dash and the tea is… piping hot? (To offset the Vatican.va link, here's a tl;dr from The Onion.) ... Look at him go!

(Disagreements with his Holiness aside, it’s great to see a powerful figure power taking the side of the people.) ... EDIT: Wake up babe, a new Inquisition just dropped - apparently, not even the Pope can escape being wrongly accused by AI "verifiers."

I hope OpenAI goes under. I hope ChatGPT and all similar AI are unplugged forever. And I hope everyone who's been relying on it cries about it.

I always see people talk about Laika the space dog, but never the other dogs Russia sent up.

So here's an appreciation piece for Strelka and Belka, the first higher beings to be sent into orbit and come back alive.

Talked to a coworker today about AI and how it's impossible to avoid it and how people outsource their basic thinking to a machine that is objectively bad at it and then we talked about how teens in particular use AI models to form interpersonal relationships instead of friendships with real people and maybe I am old but I cannot understand what satisfaction people find in that bc I've not had a single friend since I was 8 but I still would rather drink lava than let AI be my "friend"

if you work in a creative field...or if you do creative hobbies like writing or drawing...you need to make friends with people who don't do those things. you need to befriend normie Steve who has never written a story in his life. and this is because when you are in a creative job or hobby and spend all your time doing that thing, surrounded by very capable people, who you inevitably compare your own progress and skills to, you forget what the baseline human skill at that thing is. and it's usually zero. normie Steve has not written a story since the 3rd grade when his teacher made him do it. he's very good at other things that are not storytelling - but if you tell normie Steve that you wrote a full 300-page book from start to finish, he will think you're some kind of savant. he does not know ANYONE else who has done this. you need this perspective. because when you're constantly on Let's Write Stories dot Com then everyone on Let's Write Stories dot Com will inevitably be like "oh of course everyone on earth has written a book or several at this point!" and you canNOT let yourself think that. that is not even close to the average human experience. you are in a bubble. do not put yourself down. do not give up.

REAL AND TRUE. my newest normie steve does 40 mile bike rides on a whim and excels at outdoor rock climbing. i will always hype him up.

and make sure your comments are kind!!! “I love this so much!” and “this is amazing! I’m so excited for what happens next” are more likely to get your favorite fics updated than “when will we get the next chapter?”

Tips for Writing Injuries

✧ Broken ribs suck. You don’t just “walk it off.” Breathing hurts. Laughing hurts. Existing hurts. Characters with rib injuries won’t be doing heroic sprints.

✧ Concussions aren’t instant naps. Dazed vision, nausea, dizziness, maybe even personality changes, but they’re not going to collapse neatly like in the movies.

✧ Blood loss is sneaky. It’s not just about dramatic pools of blood. It’s dizziness, confusion, and the body getting cold as circulation tanks.

✧ Adrenaline lies. Someone can take a serious injury and not feel it until the fight’s over. That “I didn’t realize I was bleeding until later” trope? Very real.

✧ Twisted ankles are brutal. One bad step and suddenly running is off the table. Even walking hurts like hell. Perfect way to ground a chase scene.

✧ Burns linger. Even small burns hurt more than most people expect. Blisters, infection risk, constant pain, it’s not just a cool scar later.

✧ Dislocated shoulders = useless arm. Characters can’t keep swinging a sword or firing a gun. They’re basically fighting one-armed until it’s fixed.

✧ Shock is a thing. Pale skin, trembling, rapid heartbeat, and eventually disorientation. A character might not even realize how bad their wound is.

✧ Stitches aren’t magic. Getting sewn up is painful and recovery takes time. They’re not instantly battle-ready after a needle and thread.

✧ Scars tell stories. Some fade, some don’t. Some stay sensitive forever. Don’t forget the aftermath when the wound becomes part of the character.

Jaykyle would try and trick the other with an alien wedding because they refuse to talk like normal people. They get married on like 10 different planets before either of them catch on.

They have tattoos, piercings, dyes, all sorts of cosmetic shit to signify they're married. Just a tapestry of piss poor communication.

[angxltxxth]

Unironically, I think about this all the time. They got married once for like "the peace of the planet" in some far sector of space. Then they got married once in Space Vegas for the bit. Now they just get space married for the love of the game as tradition demands whenever the happen to get into space together. The other lanterns have born witness to many of these engagements and instead of helping them (i.e. "hey bonehead, you like him"), one of them drops the fact in the middle of a JL meeting when Bruce is being a jackass to watch him bluescreen. The others are upset they weren't the earthside lantern to be the one able to pull that trap card.

Bruce breaking into jason's apartment: You're MARRIED?!

jason and kyle sitting too close on the couch: I mean...*sighs* i guess?

"it's not that serious" They have a photo album of all their weddings. They laugh about their favorites. They jokingly, dramatically recite their vows to the other when getting too deep into activates when on opposing teams ("did me saying not even in death will we part me nothing to you?"). Vows which they update to be more earnest every wedding. They "ironically" court the other in front of people once they find out about their "tradition." They only realize they're in love with the other when they're watching them do something sickly domestic on an early, may morning where they fell asleep on the couch watching movies together the night before and then nearly have a heart attack on the spot

Kyle having an existential crisis: I"M IN LOVE WITH HIM!

Guy cleaning glasses like he hasn't known this 7 renewal of vow marriages ago: Oh? Really? How'd you figure?
