I remember blowing the minds of my players back in the day while running Tempest Feud with "There's a Hutt wearing what?" Good times!

I haven't been to #gencon in at least a decade, and trying to book a hotel room reminded me why. Even with the lottery, a lottery draw 4 hours after go live means nothing was available. Good thing I made a backup non-block hotel reservation earlier.

Someone mentioned Valentine's day, I automatically assumed he was talking about the 1929 massacre.
He was not.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeareโ€™s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

Got a ton of comments on my Starfleet Academy review calling it "woke" and when I explained that Star Trek has always been progressive people started fighting about how the franchise was never as in your face back in the day and yeah totally, it used to be SUPER subtle

With President Trump sending ICE, Border Patrol, the National Guard and other forces to U.S. cities, here's how to tell them apart- and what their powers are.

That's a shame. I haven't been to GenCon for nearly a decade, but the food court was always great for grabbing a quick bite, and a Sunday movie at the theater there was a tradition among my friends.

Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work.
It's not about gatekeeping, it's about
giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2

I don't know what you think, but this seems a bit unfel to me.
My original post with the Saori Kido Athena prompt has 4,000 impressions, while @dvorahfr's post with an image created with my prompt has 30,000.
As for not quoting me as the author, I'm not saying anything, because she has apologised.
I would like to understand that it was an unintentional mistake, although I think I'm well enough known around here to use a prompt of mine without knowing it's mine.
If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens.
But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom.
Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool.
Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.

AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce
