Good morning. The President of the United States was in the middle of the most serious child sex trafficking ring of the last quarter century. He is referenced not a dozen times in the case files. Not 100 times. Not 1,000 times. He’s referenced 38,000 times.
Thanks to the editors at The Untelling including my work in the latest issue. It’s a beautifully made journal!
Hmmm. Lit journal snidely or flat out doesn't respond to submits, or follow-up queries, loses grant funding, then asks for donations. Um, no. Sour grapes? Nah. I've published plenty. It's more about treatment people. Rejection? Sure! Totally fine. Rude? No. So, boo hoo Texas lit mag. And FDT
The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts. Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.
What the United States did in Venezuela is prohibited under international law, which bars the use of force as an instrument of national policy.
I can se that I’m in peak “Between Christmas and New Year’s” because I’m all HEY! Let’s sharpen every knife we own in one session!
GenAI truly is the asbestos poisoning our collectively shared resources and infrastructure.
Andrew Heiss@andrew.heiss.phd · 9mo agoGrading and googling hallucinated citations, as one does nowadays, and now that LLMs have been around for a while, I've discovered new horrors: hallucinated journals are now appearing in Google Scholar with dozens of citations bc so many people are citing these fake things

I work in marketing so it totally tracks that I don't have an author website of my own. But for those interested, more info on my work and access to it is on chillsubs: www.chillsubs.com/profile/gabr...

There was an incredible turnout across small-town USA! Many events weren’t even on our radar. Our coalition initially tracked around 3,000 events, but the number has now surged past 4,000 and counting.
Quiet house, cocktail, good book—does it get much better?

It must surely be an unfortunate day to be someone who incessantly obsessed over crowd size.
Many thanks to the folks at Eclectica for including two of my poems in the January/February issue—Halloween and folk songs get some attention here. www.eclectica.org/v29n1/welsch...

Yeah he’s so afraid of black he’s putting the global economy in the red.
Barlow Adams@barlowadams.bsky.social · last yr.Looking for a new job in this bumblefuck, tyrant-lite economy is not fun. The market is flooded with qualified candidates who were fired for no reason, and every company is afraid the president will make ink illegal in the coming month because it’s black.
We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again
