Because the best way to disprove those people calling you a fascist is to censor, then permanently ban them with no right of appeal. Free speech absolutism indeed. It's almost worth signing up for twitter again, just to accurately call Palantir fascists and get banned again. Almost, but not quite

It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

I'm sure this means companies will pause to reevaluate their AI-first strategies since they're not cost-effective, and they were never trying to simply replace human workers, right? Right?? [insert cricket sounds]

It took me getting norovirus at weekend to force my body to stop for 3 days and get fully charged on sleep for the first time in years. Less than 48 hours later, that genocidal fuckwit in the whitehouse has me wide awake at 1am. There's clearly far more pressing reasons to despise him, but still

I think one of the reasons why Artemis II had us all so captivated was that it was one of those times where we feel on such a visceral level what Carl Sagan got across in his Pale Blue Dot monologue: that we are simultaneously tiny and precious and we need each other youtu.be/wupToqz1e2g?...

One of the things They don't tell you is that a lot of being creative involves wondering whether or not you're screaming into the void. And a lot more of it is realising that as long as you're screaming, that's the point. And a lot of the rest of it is working out if you're singing or screaming

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

I’m constantly astounded at the sheer level of artistic production coming out of Iceland. Novels, movies, music. Amazing.
