June is going to be a fun month publication-wise:

- Got a story in The Muse Within Us by @raconteur_press, releasing 6/5.
- Got a story in Flames of Salvation by @BayonetBooks, later in the month.

Links once I've got 'em.

@noahbradley Not always; I keep a copy of Skyline Predator in my binder just for the sheer aura of the art.

@ShitpostRock I feel like 40k wins all of these sorts of comparisons by default. Sorry, Normandy. I love you, but you can't kill planets.

@georgfelis @mcahogarth @raconteur_press That deadline says 2027, friend.

@mcahogarth @raconteur_press I will happily come up with a submission just to thumb my nose at GW, my love of their IP notwithstanding. 😝

Okay, let’s do novels now. Make a novel smaller. I’ll go first:

Since X seems to be awash with videos of hysterical women crying and smashing up their own homes, here's a puppy just enjoying life instead.

Cuz we know too much, that's why.

Be honest,

Why is every software engineer’s backup plan always farming?

@mcahogarth Butcher gets so many points for Michael Carpenter. Single best example of a Catholic character I can think of. But a less skilled or wise author would EASILY have made him a Lawful Stupid Paladin pastiche and moved on without a second thought.

Pixar head Pete Docter says a ‘RATATOUILLE’ sequel is always possible.

“We’re always exploring to see what we can do with these characters.”

@ShamashAran AI makes it stupid easy to set up a Nextcloud server. Buy a Raspberry Pi and a hard drive and own your own backups. There are so few excuses these days.

Remember to treat your body like a data center.

Consume as much literature and water as possible.

Wonder how long it'll take for the internet to decode and break this.

I'm guessing nine seconds.

Anthropic says new Claude models will embed invisible watermarks in all generated text, everywhere Claude is offered.

The watermark is part of the text, it isn't metadata: "it will travel with the text when it's copied and pasted elsewhere, and may persist through some editing."

This starts with models launched on or after August 2, 2026, under an EU AI Act code Anthropic signed. Anthropic is still working on adding it to current models. The rollout is worldwide.
