Guys...I think it might be starting - #aicrash #bubble #southkoreastockmarket

Premiere Smith’s illegitimate attempt to end run the system after the system failed to produce her desired chaos is a master class in ratfucking. Here’s how the question is structured: Should Alberta stay in Canada? Yes - Alberta should leave No - Alberta should stay

Can we talk about stuff like this Aurenbooks reading light? Not just about how inconvenient it would actually be - it's one size, annoying to have to reset it every page flip - simply use one of many reading lights available for a much lower cost than it's $110 cost ($55 on SALE!) (1/4)

Conservatism is about creating a bubble, a frictionless existence wherein your in-group is the centre of the universe and you allow yourself to ignore everything outside of it.

Annnnnnnd the Alberta RCMP is investigating. Holy shit

The separatists in Alberta apparently published a searchable database with the private information — including names and addresses — of almost three million people in Alberta. Holy fucking shit. For context, the population of Alberta is just over 5 million people. Here's what we know:

After reading Roadside Picnic...Billionaires read it wanting to be Vulture Burbridge while the rest of us would just be happy to be Dick Noonan. But the Billionaires are just Burbridges failed Stalkers, in the end. #sciencefiction #scifi

Hollywood...I'm available. Recent roles....T-Rex defeated in an epic fight with a bunny rabbit. I'll await my Oscar, Academy.

A Friend of mine just had a banger of an idea: Jurassic Parks and Recreation. Do it, Spielberg, don't be a coward.

I'm 15 or so years late, but I get to read The Leftovers before I watch the show, and this little book snob couldn't be happier for the journey I'm starting. #reading #theleftovers

Facebook kindly reminded me that 19 years ago today, I posted photos of myself as a child to an album. This ended up being 10 years TO THE DAY before my first kiddo came into the world. I'm appalled that social media has been a part of our lives for 20 years now. But...am I a prophet? #weird

Another rejection, #writingcommunity. They come and go. Question: What do you do (if anything) to your project after rejection? Do you give another edit? Change your cover letter? Or do you leave it all alone?

It's #blackhistorymonth. Read Octavia Butler, Walter Rodney, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Nnedi Okorafor. Watch Sinners again. Watch, read, and listen to Black art. White people: understanding that Black art is art from your fellow human beings is a path to empathy and our collective future.

don't mind me, just finding lots of bread crumbs showing Epstein and the League of Pederasts were a driving force in pushing transphobic hate. This email was sent in October 2014, at the start of the current anti trans political campaign and astroturphing.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

For no reason, here's some recommended reading: Coffeeland - Augustine Sedgewick How Europe Underdeveloped Africa - Walter Rodney The Parable of the Sower - Octavia Butler None of this is new #booksky #minnesota

Watched "2010" for the first time. Surprised how much political tensions drove the story, given politics were largely absent in 2001. Smart move, really. While it doesn't have the same impact as Kubrick's film, it works as a sequel despite a slightly different tone & some dodgy early CGI. #Filmsky

Look, it's been hard for me to figure out how to talk about the difference between healthy masculinity and bullshit, weak, fear-based control fantasies, but BOY HAS THIS WEEK MADE EVERYTHING MORE CLEAR.

ted cruz… welcome to the resistance

Still gotta see "Bone Temple", but honestly, it's "Send Help" that has me hankering for the theatre. #Filmsky #horror

This and games - #enshittification and desperation, this just reeks of "please don't unsubscribe, look how fun we are, we have everything you want." Except what we want. #netflix

This exactly why I tell people to fight misogyny and child abuse if they want to fight authoritarianism. Those are pillars of fascism that so many people think are “normal” parts of a “democratic” society. News flash: they have no place in a democratic society.

Watching these videos of ICE attacking children, I can’t help but think about how many of these men first practiced their violence in their own homes. Domestic violence teaches our oppressors to dehumanize the most vulnerable among us.

This is, hands down, one of the best deconstructions of #Andor yet. As much history lesson, behind the scenes, and analysis. I'd chalk this up to required viewing. @parkesharman.bsky.social youtu.be/6HLS_SQbWR4?...

No real surprises with these nominations (except F1 getting a best picture nod). Hope #Sinners does well, but I feel it's One Battle After Another's year, and would love to see Rose Byrne win. #Oscars #OscarNominations www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

'Sinners' leads the nominees with a record-breaking 16 mentions.

God, I hate coming up with titles. Sometimes it's easy, but when it's not.... Staring at the story you've written with the clunky title, wracking your brain for something better. Anyway, subbed my time-travel thriller, hoping "Thread Vector" appeals. #writingcommunity #scififantasy #writing

Some solid videos on #Andor pop up from @jessiegender.bsky.social & others got me thinking about the right-wing reactionaries again. The core of this is that the right fails to understand the idea of "audiences" and assume THEY are the only audience, but also that maturity just isn't their thing...

#CTVNews are fucking cowards

I’m devastated, but I’m also angry. I’m angry because this is an attack on press freedom. If opportunities can be stripped from journalists simply because enough people repeat the same bad-faith narrative, how can anyone withstand the career impact of doing work that matters?
