Every successful invention solves a common problem: washing clothes, illumination, ease of travel.

The problem A I is trying to solve is *us* - WE are the problem to tech oligarchs and corporate elite. It's all for them. They just can't say that part.

They're trying to sell us our own redundancy.

Kathryn Tennison's debut, Moulting, is a fantastic ride into madness and the supernatural! In this episode, we discuss the novel, how she decided to write horror, how Pet Sematary terrified her as a child, writing creepy scenes, and our love of dogs.

Here it is - the full cover of Molting!!! Please judge this book by its cover, because the artwork is just as creepy, mysterious, and haunting as the novel, which will be available on December 10. 🪶

Translation: we saw the money we were losing with everyone boycotting and our shareholders lost their shit so now we’re backpedaling as fast as we can. That said, we will continue to make similar terrible decisions going forward as long as it doesn’t affect our bottom line. See ya real soon!

Today's flash fiction is "Upside Down Wishes" by Kathryn Tennison. What can we say, be careful what you wish for. You never know who, or what, is listening.

No exceptions. If you use Gen A I in any capacity whatsoever, you suck.

Yes, the way you're using it too. You're not special.

"She probably doesn't mean me"

I do.

I inadvertently picked the best year to read The Dead Zone. It’s so relevant to today, it’s scary.

“A convicted felon cannot aspire to high public office.”

If only…

“With AI you never have to draw, paint or write again!” Why does that prospect excite you? We were put on this earth to think and create. Some people are so eager to be liberated from joy.

Cats are capable of freakishly silent stealth. Why the fuck can I hear them licking themselves from 10 yards away

Hexagon Hiatus I have edited 19 (soon to be 20) issues of my favourite magazine of all time, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now). I started Hexagon as a project to gain editing experience and to improve my own…

Hexagon has been my most incredible creative venture thus far, but it’s time to say goodbye (for now).

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

Cover for Issue 62 of Uncanny Magazine, art by Maxine Vee titled "Mermay - Golden Hour." In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The words "January/February 2025" and "Issue Sixty-Two" are at top. The list of credits is on the bottom

putting " -ai " at the end of every google search will get rid of google's AI Overview, even on your phone!

My favorite book of 2024 actually came pretty early in the year - The Butcher of the Forest by @premeemohamed.com. I can’t stop recommending it to everyone all the time 😋

Yes AI art is ugly, but that isn't the problem with AI art. AI art will get better and it will still be unacceptable.

AI art is built on stolen art. AI music is built on stolen music. AI videos are built on stolen videos. AI text is built on stolen text.

Across all mediums, fuck AI.

I'm so serious, if you stop using your creativity, imagination and thinking abilities you will lose them. Millions of people willingly giving up their intellects, the very thing that makes them human, is a nightmare straight out of our darkest science-fictions.
