Trying to buy an ebook version of The Mean Ones by Tatiana Schlote-Bonne but apparently this is not doable? Why is everything tech getting so much worse??!

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

Trump wanting to check people’s social media history before they go to the states? Consider this a message that would get me banned … speaking of going to hell in a hand basket!

Is there not a single way to make Password systems that do not put you in a stupefied rage every two weeks or so?

My twitch recap is even weirder than my Spotify recap this year (Yes, I have Twitch on ALL the time): Shoutout to @duncstar.bsky.social - So many hours while I work! Thanks! static-cdn.jtvnw.net/recap-sharea...

Listening to a podcast (Já ok!) and hearing that Halldór Laxness said that in heaven you probably talk Swedish with a Finnish accent and can’t agree more. He also wrote that Danish came out of the hole in Hell situated in Iceland, so he must be right…? 🇮🇸

Was just reminded of the 80s classic HAWK THE SLAYER - they don’t make films like that anymore 😋

Sleep is difficult these days. Just had a work session and it’s not even 5 yet. Not right. Will read now. #insomnia

Hello Brighton

I tested AI and the outcome was scarier than I expected open.substack.com/pub/eyglo/p/...

wikipedia's data shows that AI is siphoning traffic away from the site, which is a danger to its sustainability. ironically Wikipedia is more important than ever to users who want reliable information instead of slop, and to AI companies that need it for training data www.404media.co/wikipedia-sa...

So is it reasonable that if you don't allow browsers/companies to feed you personalised ads you get constant "dating" related ads directed at men who are "lonely"? Tired of technology.

What are some of your favourite podcasts? I need recommendations.. 😊

Just a kindly reminder that the story that should-be-science-fiction-but-soon-won't be, named Cautionary Pulses is available in the new Interzone, written by me and @ashleystokes.bsky.social. shop.interzone.press/b/E76yw?fbcl...

I have a dystopian love story in the new Interzone, that I co-wrote with @ashleystokes.bluesky.com, about how tech-culture can go horribly wrong! shop.interzone.press/b/E76yw

I have another Chestnut out. This time it's a homage to Dark Souls III though you do not need to know the game to enjoy this I think. I hope you enjoy! open.substack.com/pub/eyglo/p/...
