Behold: the first-ever list of news outlets that have banned generative AI in their reporting. As of today, this is literally information that you cannot find on Google.

My goal is to fill the starter pack, so please send over suggestions with supporting evidence!

I’ve seen enough. Not about the election. Just generally.

Hi, I have diagnosed c-PTSD and this is true and if you suck at tetris, any bright coloured fast game requiring rapid eye movement and decision making will do! it also helps if you witness something triggering and are trying to stave off an episode

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

The Discworld Reading Order Guide 3.0

The Discworld Reading Order Guide 3.0

DO YOU LIKE GOTH SHIT? Start with Mort, the first of the Death books.

DO YOU LIKE DRAGONS? Start with Guards! Guards! the first of the Watch books.

DO YOU LIKE ANTITHEISM? Start with Small Gods, a standalone skewering of organized religion.

From there, follow this guide to find your next book.

PANEL 1: MATTIE, looking at her phone, talking to someone offscreen.
MATTIE: Hey, did you see this big list that got published?
VO: No! What is it.

PANEL 2: MATTIE, raising her eyebrows.
MATTIE: Looks like there's an undercover cabal of draculas and other ghouls that seemingly kind of runs the entire world AND is responsible for every shitty thing that's happened for like, two decades. Huh.

PANEL 3: MATTIE, looking at the person she's been talking to, who appears to be some sort of dracula.
THE DRACULA: Have you read the whole thing yet?
MATTIE: No, why?

PANEL 4: Another GHOUL appears on the other side of MATTIE.
DRACULA: I was just going to say it's probably not that big of a deal who's on there, actually.
GHOUL: Classic over-reaction.
