Nightmare: Why #LLMs kill author's skills: "What began as a jagged, precise Romanesque structure of stone is eroded into a polished, Baroque plastic shell: it looks "clean" to the casual eye, but its structural integrity – its "ciccia" – has been ablated to favor a hollow, frictionless aesthetic. We are building a world on a hollowed-out syntax that has suffered semantic ablation" https://www.theregister.com/2026/02/16/semantic_ablation_ai_writing/

Cars show in Deloraine! This tiny town in remote, northern Tasmania has a few things going on. At least something worth taking a bunch of photos.

Seriously, if you know the names of any of these cars, please tell me. The first one is a Rolls Royce. After that, your guess is as good as mine.

More in the replies.

Ich habe heute frei. Erstmal halbwegs ausgeschlafen, dann noch liegengeblieben und etwas hier in der TL gestöbert, dann gebadet und danach die erste Maschine Wäsche angeworfen und eben grad sehr spät gefrühstückt. Ich habe fest vor, in der Geschwindigkeit auch das Wochenende über weiterzumachen. Guten Morgen. #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

Wishing everyone a very Happy New Year! I capped off 2025 as a paid writer by sellig a one-paragraph short to a publication for one dollar. Follow your dreams. Any resolutions? Not me.

Huch! Plötzlich ist da eine Lücke mit einer Stunde Pause im Kalender und möglicherweise der Abend frei! 🙀 Was macht man nochmal in so einer Situation??? #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

Ah, winter. That lovely time of year when snow piles melt into fantasy world maps. 😆

Yesterday, someone impersonating a well-known author rated my second book (not the first) and requested to connect with me on Goodreads. The account was clearly fake, so I ignored it.

Today, that rating is gone and—as far as I know—so is the account.

Be safe out there, friends. 💚 Scammers are becoming more ruthless by the day.

I'm gonna say it. After several films released in the last five to six years.... I've grown beyond tired of the "bury your gays" trope. Just scrap it, toss it, burn it, squish it. Take it into a dark hole full of snakes and never let it see the light again.
