  1. The good news is that Monster is in progress again. Here are two shots from inside the editor/timeline. I am just starting this here and there will be changes but the overall look is this so far. #monster #video #art #fantasy #fictional #storytelling #music #horror #3dart #frankenstein

  2. This is the finished interior of Krulwick's airship. I just completed the timeline tweaks and now I will do some audio/music and this short tale is done. #music #writing #design #art #krulwick #airship #art #tales #storytelling #graphics #scifi #realms #fictional #movies #video

  7. I've #written 384 pages in my #journal so far this year.  My average is ~6.5 pages per day. I expect this will pick up as I go along. I have a lot of writing to do.

    This is what I mean by I use my #fountainpens for #writing. I've emptied 6-8 of my pens over the last two weeks.

    The reason for all of this writing in a journal? I am doing something of a brain dump. Putting as many things from the past as I can remember down in writing. Many of these memories will later be woven into #fictional #stories that I am working on.

    This is the reason that I am writing them manually. I don't want these #memories to be online in any form. I don't want #AI companies using my memories to train their wretched systems.

    The best part about this? #Security. These journals are locked in a fireproof safe. When I am done with them, I will shred them with a diamond cut shredder. I will then take the cut up pieces and either put them in a bucket of water and make a slurry out of them, or I will burn them.  They will not be recovered, ever.

  8. "[...] #AllegraGoodman — a #Cambridge-based #writer who has published eleven #books and regularly contributes #fiction to #TheNewYorker. Her new #book, This Is Not About Us, focuses on a #fictional #Jewish-#American family, the Rubinsteins, who reside in #Boston, #Providence, and other northeastern locales. In short, they are our neighbors. And, perhaps predictably, their struggles are markedly different from those of their forebears.

    This disjunction has much to do with how many of today’s Jewish #Americans pursue “#Jewishcontinuity,” a term widely promoted in the religious community. It encourages a strong Jewish connection through education, group identity, and an engaged Jewish life."

  9. If you need a #fictional #book to tell you to act #morally and instill a #fear of a fictional character in you, do you really even have #morals? And does that fictional character "love" you if he is okay with millions of his #children struggling to eat as the #rich man gets richer? #Religion is a social construct.

  10. You feel yourself shivering from the #cold inside a tattered #tent so you go to light a fire to make a hot drink that might warm you, and in the process you imagine all the horrific scenarios—such as a sudden blaze ignited by the wind, devouring everything around you (and this is not a #fictional story; it actually happened).
    Then you discover that it is your soul that is cold, not just your limbs, and that nothing can warm it...

    Sara, key character in "A New Faith", grew up in a #refugee #camp in #Sudan . Then she gets an opportunity to #migrate to Sequoia, a #fictional #city, for #climate #refugees .

    The plot is animated by her actions when her life intersects with someone from her past. But actions have consequences and the implications for Sequoia are existential.

  13. Seems the FBI is not yet ready to take in surrendering forces from fictional terrorist organizations. No word on whether or not they could take surrendering Nazgul, Decepticons or Cobra from GI Joe either.

  15. 🚀🎨 Switzerland's latest attempt at culture: a #shrine to a #fictional child who talks to #foxes. 🤦‍♂️ Because nothing screams "sophistication" like dedicating an entire building to a #storybook from the 1940s. 📚🦊

  18. Diabolus Ex Machina

    I read this personal experience with #ChatGPT and I found it very creepy.

    If this wasn't labeled as #LLM or #AI, if this wasn't made by #OpenAI, we will have many people screaming about another scandal.

    Billion of 💰💰💰 infused into a product that produces verisimilar human-type interaction without any criteria. Eventually all these LLM/AI are #fictional #bots that anybody involved into this huge #scam want selling you as #revolutionary and #human #progress.

    It looks like a giant #fraud instead; a new #panacea that doesn't solve anything, has ridiculous cost; doesn't work as expected. Investors threw in there too much money to let it fail, but a fraud is still a fraud...

  20. Bola Edwards is Promoting African #Heritage for Children Through Her #Fictional Character “Grandma Wura”

    #Bola #Edwards’ living room has been transformed into a giant stage. Large #styrofoam #books stand tall while an oversized pencil crafted from plywood balances on a brown wall. The opposite wall is a fuchsia pink. The space looks like a classroom from a child’s whimsical #imagination.

    In the middle of the room stands an armchair upholstered in the swirling patterns of African textiles. It is here, at the centre of things, that the fictional grandmother character “Grandma Wura” comes to life, sharing stories with young African minds around the globe.

    Ever since the character’s debut in 2015, Grandma Wura has been integral to Edwards’ work with her company, Proud African #Roots.

    She founded the #creative #arts company with her husband, Patrick, in 2013, a year after leaving her corporate job. Their mission was to raise a new #generation of African leaders by blending African arts and storytelling with tangible lessons on values and leadership. Their strategy was multifaceted – leveraging stories, #music, and drama to #educate their young audience.
