I like apples. I post photos. I dig birds. I write books. The next book is THE STAIRCASE IN THE WOODS, April 2025. Yes, I'm cringe. What do you want from me, I'm a 48-year-old dad and my brain is a mouse-eaten shoebox.
Professional writer organizations should not send out pro-AI propaganda in the form of tantrum-having "essays" to their members, and I don't think that's controversial.
Regarding The Pro-AI Tantrum In The HWA Newsletter
Today I, and every other HWA member, received the HWA newsletter in our inboxes. In that newsletter was an essay (“essay”) of pro-AI propaganda that made a number of specious points in …

This screed is so misguided and full of weird, bad ideas. It's got that vibe of "I didn't really think this through and actually don't even understand the subject much, but I want to yell about it anyway." Which is fine for Gen Pop internet, but like, maybe keep it off the HWA newsletter, wtf.
Holly Lyn Walrath@hollylynwalrath.bsky.social · 16h agoThere is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.
You won't regret clicking on this beautifully told story by @lsommer.bsky.social about the Pacific Ocean and how the Trump regime is opening some marine monuments to commercial fishing.
These are some of the last pristine ocean ecosystems. Now, they're losing protections
The largest conservation areas in the U.S. are in the Pacific Ocean, where tiny islands are epicenters of biodiversity. The Trump administration is now opening their waters to commercial fishing, spar...

LOL. Abdul El-Sayed WON the Democratic Primary in Michigan despite being outspent 10-1! Amazing gaslighting here.
Politico@politico.com · 9h agoProgressives didn’t get the big election night they wanted
🚨🚨 Abdul El Sayed wins the Democratic Senate primary in Michigan, NBC News projects. He defeats Haley Stevens.
My answer is LOL ROFL (dickbrain) The terminally AI-pilled can't even *imagine* some people have *never* asked stochastic parrots to cheat at their job for them.
The premise behind One Night Only is so ridiculous to the point it makes me angry

Pilots are notified of jamming through a NOTAM. The pilots knew about the jamming before they took off and should have planned for it. They could also ask for the jamming to be turned off, which they did, and which the military did. They then said it could be turned back on and flew into a mountain.

Jeff Bachtel@jeffbach.bsky.social · 6d agoI watched Juan’s video and I’m a private pilot that’s flown out of an airport part 135 operators use and I’m gonna drop a hurtful interpretation. The crew decided to do a “visual” approach when GPS came back, and probably never had runway in sight

🤯 Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news. Here's the whole thing:

It’s Amy Coney Barrett all over again. Collins, facing reelection, will vote no on an anti-abortion nominee who gets confirmed anyway
Alice Miranda Ollstein@alicemiranda.bsky.social · 19h agoBREAKING: Susan Collins cited our report on Blanche's promise on a private call with religious activists to restrict abortion pills in announcing today she will not vote to confirm him. www.newscentermaine.com/article/news...
Todd Blanche made more promises during a private call that a faith group inexplicably uploaded to YouTube. Expect to see this story cited in lawsuits against the FDA when it ends telemedicine of mifepristone for no reason other than pills by mail make anti-abortion groups very mad
Josh Gerstein@joshgerstein.bsky.social · 2d agoNEW: Amid AG confirmation battle, Todd Blanche assured anti-abortion activists that he's working to make Dobbs 'permanent in every single state.' Admin will act 'soon' to limit mail-order abortion drugs. w/ @alicemiranda.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2026/08...
I mean what the fuck even is this thing. It clearly contains monster bacon despite the sign not saying bacon. I'd be tempted to go in there and demand both the monster bacon and the weird braided egg tire they put on top of it.
Imagine thinking so little of yourself that you just let this half sentient rotten potato talk to you like this. I don't care if he's president, have some self respect.

Our thoroughly corrupt electoral system.
Matthew Belloni is full of baloney because I work in this damn industry and we've been forbidden from using it for anything other than writing emails.
Ken Tremendous@kentremendous.bsky.social · 22h agoWriting fiction in any genre should be a purely human exercise. If you use AI to generate *any* dialog, story ideas, character shapes, *anything* creative, you're betraying the very concept of artistic expression. This is a bright flashing red line for me. www.wired.com/story/the-bi...
Incredible nonsense from John Cornyn. True, the harm to Epstein’s victims can’t be remedied by a “no” vote. But why should Blanche’s corrupt cover-up of the Epstein files—in violation of a Congressional mandate(!)—be rewarded by “yes”? Can’t get any more craven than this.
