Just something to think about the next time you use Chap GPT.

Just finished The Worm and His Kings by @haileypiperfights.bsky.social At no point could I guess what was going to happen next. Absolutely unhinged in the best way.

Is it just me, or are the end credit scores of Star Trek: TNG and DS9 both very meditative?

Gonna need my fellow whites to bring that anti-P Diddy energy over to Neil Gaiman.

Rest in peace, lil' guy. I don't remember exactly when I bought you, but I know I've been making novel notes with you for probably 20 years. You owe me nothing.

It's wild to think that the pastor I was under for most of my childhood was reading and recommending the same books as Jeffrey Epstein.

Neil Gaiman says he's innocent, but he has to say that. They don't call him a master of fiction for nothing.

Sometimes, I feel like we're just weeks away from people defending themselves in court with some form of "How was I supposed to know X was illegal? I don't even know what kind of prompt to use for ChatGPT to know I shouldn't do it???"

twitter must be dead dead cause someone posted a rat coin purse that would have 2019 twitter losing its collective mind and most of the top comments are bots saying random words or people not nearly amped enough about the rat coin purse

It's Black History Month, so you know what that means!

This shit hits like a sledgehammer right now. It's not even remotely an exaggeration.

We Are The Art - Brandon Sanderson's Keynote speech on what we, as writers, can do about AI copying our art. youtu.be/mb3uK-_QkOo?...

This is your yearly pre-Black History Month reminder that Augustine of Hippo was North African, but he wasn't Black. Don't use him to express your imperial theologies in a space reserved for the lived experiences of Black people.

Then there is a really weird text convo between Jeffrey and someone (her name has been redacted). I am assuming she is young. Epstein yells at her bc she was nice to a guy with a small dick but complained about her dad. So he sent her a James Dobson article to read.

I hate living in the Asshole Cinematic Universe. “So the King of Pedophiles got the 4chan guy to make the Nazi board and that’s why the host of Celebrity Apprentice was made immune to laws by the Tradcath Illuminati. This has something to do with video game journalism, maybe?” Fuck off.

Union workers solved the trolley problem, you're welcome

Started my new WIP today. It's a superhero story, which is something I've been wanting to write for a while. Anyway, it's at 508 words. #amwriting #superheroes

People shit on Wesley Crusher, but I'll take him and his various Star Fleet sequential entrance exams over a Goblet of Whatever any day.

Romans 13:3 is just 6-7 for white evangelicals.

"Jeremy, why do you want so badly to make a career out of writing? Fame?" "No." "Fortune?" "No." "Freedom to do what you want with your time?" "No." "Then what?" "I just don't think enough published authors go on Hot Ones and I'd like to change that."

if only there was a term for armed agents of the state who remain anonymous and who you're not allowed to name. police whose identities are secret. give me time, i'll come up with something

Bandcamp is great and Bandcamp Friday is coming, and you can own your music

Real recognizes real.

i just want everyone to know that if you get an email claiming to be me saying that I think your book is great that is fake. It's AI. if it's actually me then I'm yelling about it on bluesky trying to get OTHER PEOPLE to buy it. or i wrote a newsletter email. but talk to you directly? That's a bot

Wawa in the streets. Wylin' in the Sheetz.

Still disappointed that "alleged" doesn't mean "with legs"

You don't understand. I paused A DEWALT advertisement to watch the trailer on my phone.

That new documentary Melania is *NOT* about Melania the Elder, patron of the fourth-century monk Pelagius and I am. Just. SO. ANGRY.

In real life, it’s just good to meet a wide variety people and have them meet you, and have real conversations where you might change their mind. But online, you’re just being influenced. It’s not a two way conversation.

ah, here, see—a previous tenant put a marble on the floor to check if the apartment was level, but instead of rolling to the other side of the room it became a fixed point in space around which the entire universe rotates. yeah, the white ball, there. the landlord must’ve painted

So, tonight's reflection has led me to the conclusion that I have written a character that would absolutely fight a god, but would not send back soup that was delivered cold. I do not know if this makes her a complex and layered character or me kind of strange, but I love her anyway 😂

Friends, go write the books that will be the change.

The Pocahontas and John smith verse from "Fever" takes on new meaning when you consider the English brought small pox to America.

I wrote an update essay about The Bad Brain Bomb. I went through some terrifying burnout these last few months and I'm just now getting my ability to *imagine things* back. www.patreon.com/posts/bad-br...

Goo morning, monsters. You are as vital as the snap of a twig in the dark.

I think a meaningful anti-AI step, especially for self-pubbed authors, beyond opening with a guarantee that no AI was used in the creation of our novels, would be to include a few pages in the back showing our process. Scans of a notebook page, screenshots of partial outlines (no spoilers), etc.

Conservatives respond to new Star Trek series in the same way I respond to a brand new, out-of-the-pack toothbrush. "Ew. I don't like it. It feels wrong. They keep changing things." And it's the same damn toothbrush I bought last time.

Batman: "Put him down. He deserves a fair trial." ICE officer: "Go away." Riddler: "Tell me, how much does a polar bear weigh?" ICE: "What???" *POW* Riddler: "Just enough to break the ICE."

My debut novel is currently funding on Inkshares. I’m at nearly 25% of my goal, and if I hit 750 pre-orders, the book will be published. Read a preview, pre-order if you can, and repost to help me spread the word! #art #writing #booksky #writingcommunity www.inkshares.com/books/the-la...

Roses are red AI pretends to know best

It is a giant illegal plagiarism machine monetizing all of our intellectual property, & like every tech/finance grift before it, the business model is built on breaking the law & malfeasance. And the rush of university leaders & administrators to embed it in every aspect of our work is shameful.

If 2026 Facebook is already teaching me anything, it's that the most voluntarily uneducated people will see posts that criticize them and heartily like and agree, thinking they're about someone else.

maybe this makes me weird but when someone who irritates me goes out into the world and does a good thing, I find that to be a good thing if everyone i found annoying was standing up to fight this, the enemy would have no chance at all

No mothafucka next question

Sometimes, when I finish a novel's second draft, I word-search every use of "was" to see if there's not a better, more active choice. I'm 207 pages of 413 into that fun little adventure. #amwriting

I don’t have a huge platform or anything, but I want to use whatever influence I do have to share this. What’s happening is frightening and unconstitutional. Know your rights and protections. www.reddit.com/r/stateofMN/...
