Posted fic for the first time in four months! The power of a good deadline!

A lot of women find this out the hard way. "Men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them."

This article is going to turn me into the Joker. Literary style is not a puzzle you solve to get a little information treat 😩😩😩

lol, 🤪 I need a title for a story. It’s fine. I finished a fic for the first time in three months (and beset by IRL drama). I am good

Posted before, but it seems more relevant and applicable by the day.

Agree. I will never understand the desperate wish of tech promoters and AI users to avoid doing the things that make us human. Writing is hard; that’s the point. Art is difficult to make & worth it. Reading can be a challenge; it’s how to learn. Why delegate these to soulless AI? To do what instead?

Yeah I usually hate the old “capitalists want to charge you to breathe the air” stuff but damn this really feels like they want to take books away and charge to have a computer read for us.

As usual in these cases, one man's personal ambition, amorality, and damaging family dynamics mean that thousands must die. As with Putin. As with Trump. As with RFK jnr As with any dictator you care to mention. There has to be a better way than this.

Repost with Alt Text. ...bc yeah, THIS.

Excellent article from David Landy of TCD on their courageous decision to cease collaborations with Israeli universities and other institutions. Would love to see my university, TU Dublin, following suit.

I'll say it over and over. I do not believe in gate keeping. I do not believe in pulling up the ladder. I believe in kicking the wall down like the Kool-Aid man, and making room as I go for those who come next. Just because it was hard for me, doesn't mean it has to be hard for anyone else.

🥗 THIS! ⤵️

Gaza: the grim reality of genocide The first comprehensive analysis of how Israel's war on Gaza will cause suffering for generations to come. A catalogue of the physical, mental & societal damage. Please have a read. It’s important. 👇 northeastbylines.co.uk/news/world-n...

There is no justification whatsoever for the US or UK to provide any support, material or diplomatic, for Israel's attack on Iran. It is a war of aggression, clearly contrary to international law.

I literally cannot remember the last time I agreed with a Daily Express front page. Terribly strange feeling.

OMFG, the HPV vaccine 😩 Having the nation's public health now led by the world's most dangerous, most extreme, & most notorious anti-vaxxer, one who has made a fortune peddling disgusting anti-vaccine lies, is going to get many people killed www.theatlantic.com/health/archi...

Who do I contact at Bluesky regarding Account hacking and trying to make this all porn? Leave my account alone, please.

I have changed this password so many times and this account keeps being hacked into. Can anyone advise me who to contact? Or else I will just delete the account and have one less social media to deal with.

Nashuri prompt. Quote by Richard Silken. From fic to filk you know the drill

We have discovered a planet. It is steel blue, with poor seas. It is nearer than tomorrow. I want to find joy there.

There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

I wonder if the rich fellas who are currently planning on living forever via youthful blood and the like, have contingency plans that will sustain them through WW3 once their money looks attractive to someone trying to pay for that.

Big, beautiful metaphor

Adriana Smith did not give birth to a baby. She was used as an incubator, cut open, and a baby was taken out of her lifeless body. A Black woman was used as a science experiment.

ok i haven't seen anyone mention my biggest problem with this piece, which is why are so many guys writing history books when they can hardly be bothered to read them???? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/m...

it is evident that the networks learned not a god damn thing from Iraq other than “that was awesome, let’s do it again”

Dangerous times we live in, with drive by education.

I am a sometimes software developer and my main objection to AI is that figuring out how to do something is the most rewarding part of the task. I am not interested in having a crib sheet for life.

i just find this so bizarre. searching through texts and doing the reading for myself is how i actually think through ideas! trying to put together a sentence is how i figure out what i actually want to say!

Uncanny how these random global weather events just seem to be getting crazier at an accelerating rate. Whatever can it possibly be?

The stupidest people in the world elected the stupidest man in the world to deal with a problem that has confounded the smartest thinkers. I’m not filled with enthusiasm.

And yet the world just scrolls on by.

If you're not anti-racist, you're pro-racism. It's that simple.

People, seriously, will you PLEASE knock it off with the AI/LLM usage. You are causing actual droughts, and for what? Bullshit and slop. It’s embarrassing. You are embarrassing.

Stifle the eugenicist inside your head. It’s killing people. Maybe even you.

This is disastrous on so many levels. #OpenAI isn’t even ‘professional grade’. What does ‘military grade AI’ even mean? And why is the US government contracting this out to a private company? 🤦‍♂️ #Trumpland #AIEthics

For a lot of relatively comfortable Americans, electing an emotionally incontinent imbecile was a bit of entertainment. A game. Good sport, owning those libs. I hope they’re duly entertained.

FIFA now treating the US as akin to Qatar and Russia: hosts whose local politics must be catered too even if it means abandoning prior stated goals. One difference is that much of the institutional racism and saber rattling by the US is directed at the other two co-hosts: Mexico and Canada.
