Why is a toddler President? 🤷‍♂️🤦

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · yesterday

President Trump has lashed out at U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro after she dropped vandalism cases and blamed damage at the Reflecting Pool on rushed and flawed work. The pool’s problems are sparking tirades from Trump inside the White House.

I wish they put the same energy into feeding people as they do in not feeding people. 😕

Opinion: Mamdani's idea may sound appealing, but it's NYC taxpayers who will take the hit, subsidizing discounts they may never even use.

We need to normalize chopping liars in the throat with a side hand... 🙄

I've got a few #indie #sci-fi short stories out (...a novel, too!), but this one seems to be the most popular. Figured I'd share it again. Full story available on Amazon, KOBO, B&N, and Google Books!!! 💙📚 🖤 #writing #booksky

Making It

Success is often a numbers game…unfortunately, that number is pretty damn high. Let’s talk about it.

Took a walk to get coffee this morning and heard a homeless guy say, "I'm enigmatic like a daylight moon." Currently mourning the fact that I'll never write anything so beautiful. 😖😅

I'm starting to think Sam Altman's lived a very lonely life... which would be sad, if he wasn't actively making it everyone's problem.

Good... I hope they sue for emotional distress and defamation.

CNN@cnn.com · 5d ago

The Justice Department is admitting that a $14 million renovation on the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool in Washington, DC, was flawed, and is dropping the criminal case against a former Olympian that accused him of damaging the pool, according to a new court filing. https://cnn.it/3RJJnwj

This seems uncomplicated to me. Someone established a goal and commissioned a process that resulted in a criminal act. Agency always traces back to the font of human decision-making at the entry point to any process, including automated ones. Layers of automation may obscure, but not obviate, agency

If I go on a hacking spree, it’s clearly covered under a variety of civil and criminal laws. If a robot does due to the negligence and incompetence of a person or company? That’s a little more complicated (for now), @lhn.bsky.social reports:

Nothing to see here, folks--just another COMPLETELY AVOIDABLE Trumpian mess. The Iran nuclear issue was basically settled, but "Obama did it, so NOoOoOoOoO!!!" Fkin clown car ass admin. 🤦😒

There is no humane way to run a "detention facility" (See: concentration camp...) It comes down to this and worse EVERY DAMN TIME.

"A new analysis of Black voters in the South indicates that Republican attempts to dilute their political power is driving them to the polls in larger numbers and shifting their counties further left."

This is VERY bad. Congressional investigation immediately. They’re trying to use Palantir to figure out who you voted for. 0% chance this ends well. Stop it ASAP.

In an alternate universe, those Disney+ shows never existed, and we got this new Blade trilogy instead... MUCH BETTER timeline, IMO. 🤷‍♂️

Culture Crave 🍿@culturecrave.co · 5d ago

Mahershala Ali says he’s moved on from ‘Blade’ “I have moved on … I'm good … you had me under contract … if they wanted to do the movie, we would've done the movie. So we're not doing the movie … They didn't want to do it, so they should answer that question” (via GQ Magazine)

It’s a wrap on Marvel’s ‘Blade’ starring two-time Oscar winner, Mahershala Ali. If you were excited to see ‘Blade.’ Redirect your support to Bassam Tariq’s ‘Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother.’ In theaters, October 9th! Support the Black stories that are being told!

The universe has a way of teaching us the same lesson over and over, until we learn and do something about it. 😕

The two worst people on the planet working together would make a great horror movie, but also a greatly horrible reality.

A willingness to critique does not correlate with an ability to create... I spent 45 minutes explaining that to a knucklehead who LOVES YouTube "critics." 😒

Writers, sweet Baby Cthulhu, don't knock yourself out preemptively trying to prove you didn't use AI. The burden of proof is on the person who accuses you. I have a hearty 'fuck you' waiting for the first person who suggests it about my writing. My longhand first drafts are for me alone.
