No, Claude is not anxious.

Anxiety requires two components:

1. Awareness of the possibility of annihilation of self.
2. An autonomic nervous system.

Mimicry of the words of an anxious person is not being anxious.

A dog can be anxious. Your plagiarism machine cannot.

Fantastical elements should be gatekept out of SFFH.

Nobody is getting romance cooties on your space cowboys. And even if they are, so what? Who gives a shit? The more, the merrier. Nobody can force you to either buy or read.

But my interview answer: "I'm not responding to this."

/end.

I barely believe in genres as it is. I don't think we should have them, but that's just me. I could be wrong.

I know there's been some discourse (TM) about Romantasy. I don't care. If they're books, I support them. If they're doing well, yay! Read more books.

I don't think anything with 2/

Today, in an interview, someone asked me what I think of Romantasy.

1. I don't really know what Romantasy is, except for what I derive from the words 'romance' and 'fantasy'.

2. The question was heavily weighted as if there was something wrong with Romantasy, and that I should have an opinion. 1/

I find the film tolerable. I've never watched it a second time, but it's a good effort.

I love Perfume.

So.

I see we're slouching towards a land war in Asia...

Boom!

I hope so, because that's what it sounds like to me.

The Callback of Cthulhu.

A vehicle that radiates derision.

Congratulations!

Well, the SC just agreed with the lower court, so same thing.

I wonder if the US Supreme Court ruling on AI copyright has anything to do with the delay.

Twelfth Night.

Relationships in space

Understood. Much like Vagas.

There's even a 'what happens in space stays in space' doctrine.

There is sex in space. In fact, it's one of the problems of long term space flight. It has a whole section in space psychiatry (yes, that is a thing).

At some point one has to wonder if they're complicit.

Yay!

Yeah, it should just remain where it is in the past.

It's hard to top 😄

It's all in the lighting!

Wait, it's not a Love and Rockets adaptation?

Disappointing!

Yeah, I knew it sounded familiar.

Back at you, brother!

I know! I thought I should have made the cut 😁

It's 'What?! I didn't get in?'
