John Scalzi@scalzi.com · 6d agoJust as an FYI I will be entirely absent from social media on Wednesday on account of 1. Colonoscopy; 2. Recovering from colonoscopy; 3. Posting on social media with judgement-impairing drugs in one's system is a really not great idea. I'll spend the day watching unchallenging television instead.
For ##bannedbookweek I have decided to read Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. I think I read it over two decades ago and have since forgotten most of it. It has been on my #TBR pile for awhile now and so I found it fitting to read it for Banned Book Week. What banned book are you reading this week?
Stopped into Nexus in Reykjavik and signed a bunch of my books. If you're in Iceland go visit them. Great shop.
Banned Books Week starts today! This year’s theme is: #LetBooksBe What do you think books should be? Share your answer in the comments: ✨ Let Books Be Free 🎉 Let Books Be Fun 🌎 Let Books Be Diverse 💡 Let Books Be Thought-Provoking ❤️ Let Books Be Themselves
It is #BannedBooksWeek & I haven't planned what my banned book to #read this week will be. Reply to suggest which book I should pick: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin The Book Thief by Markus Zuzak Holes by Louis Sachar

I wanted to give you all a comprehensive voting guide for the upcoming midterm elections. Do NOT vote for ANY republicans. Do NOT vote for anything backed by republicans. You're welcome
The U.S. owes $40 trillion in debt. Everyone has an opinion about why. But there’s one question you almost never hear asked: Who’s actually getting paid?
A teacher should be able to afford a home in the richest, most powerful country in the world.
Idea: no corporate welfare, subsidies, or government contracts for corporations whose employees need to rely on government assistance because of low wages.

If you managed to stomach the sky-high price of a ticket to a game today, you probably noticed the price-gouging didn’t stop at the stadium entrance. Concessions prices can be double or even triple what they cost just across the street. But there’s a way to crack down.
I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽♀️
It’s easy to see why the AI companies wanted to hide this from the public. The statements are some of the most damning indictments of the ways LLMs were trained, how they work, and the immediate threat they pose to human labor. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...
I only just got to this but calling #AssortedCrisisEvents by @denizcamp.bsky.social and @ericxyz.bsky.social "brilliant" is an understatement 2 of these stories genuinely made me tear up as they were so goddamn beautiful & touching & human if you haven't read this , run, don't walk, to pick it up
I’ve shared this before, but it bears repeating. A lot.
Every artist sometimes has the problem of not distinguishing between what passes for everyday normality and creativity-- which is also everyday, and not exceptional. It's a well-known fact that the artist who sits around waiting for "inspiration" dies in the waiting. --Carlos Fuentes #SundaySentence
Just sitting down to a nice meal of Extra Firm air fried tofu with sliced 🥑 on top with some Bragg Liquid Aminos and sesame seeds. Plus some Seasoned chopped potatoes covered in Daiya cheeze. #vegansky
