They’re turning the entire federal internet apparatus into a galaxy of phishing sites that are controlled by the president and do not adhere to any federal privacy or disclosure rules.

This is seriously fucked. Like for starters they’re using commercial web analytics that are in no way in line with federal privacy disclosure requirements…

I sincerely beseech you to read this. It is terrifying and important. Repost it, get the word out. Tag media like @npr.org & @nytimes.com @wsj.com and whoever because this is absolutely something that needs to be investigated & reported on ASAP The headline isn't the half of it. READ IT ⬇️⬇️⬇️

RE: NATIONAL DESIGN STUDIOS @lujan.senate.gov @heinrich.senate.gov @repstansbury.bsky.social @npr.org @nytimes.com @wsj.com Please look into National Design Studios and what they are doing with public data to siphon it to the executive branch.

In some countries, when mothers check out of the hospital after giving birth, they get a government check instead of a bill. They also get things like free car seats. Finnish baby boxes are famous and help reduce infant mortality: www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

Honored that my film BitterSweet won Best Narrative Feature at the 2026 Teleos Film Festival. This was officially our final festival so it's nice to wrap it up with a win. Grateful to everyone who supported us. More stories coming. BitterSweet is now streaming. #FilmSky #IndieFilmSky

The debates about AI, here and on Linked are infuriating considering it's all stolen material. But I thought this was also a good response to the whole thing.

who are the best anti-capitalist SF writers writing today?

The great thing is the more attention these incidents get the more likely they are to spread and be mimicked, commencement/graduation speeches this year have the potential to do the funniest thing

The Guardian, The Atlantic, Vox, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, Vanity Fair, New Yorker, & Wired are just a few of the media outlets that have struck deals with OpenAI—in some cases, for OpenAI to train AI on their articles. I write about this deplorable situation here:

M: I made bilions selling software that lets people go on the internet. E: Great. Thanks. Good on you. M: Now I have some ideas to share about the future of civilization. E: Huh. Cool, I guess. Have you run them by anybody? M: You're not listening! I sold software so people can go on the internet!

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

I'd like a Frankenstein movie where the monster says, "Fuck it. Just call me 'Frankenstein.' It'll make everything easier."

We have a winner. Could not be more grateful to @mallweasel.bsky.social. $1550 to The Trevor Project, one of the best resources of LGBTQ+ youth in crisis. Congrats to @mallweasel.bsky.social, & congrats to everybody on Bluesky who amplified this. These are tough times, but we did something good.

We are children.

1. Flip the Senate this year 2. Block all GOP SCOTUS nominations 3. Hold the Senate and elect a Dem POTUS in 2028 4. Kill the filibuster 5. Pass HR1 6. Pass 18 year term limits on SCOTUS 7. Fill the 5 new vacancies with liberal justices 8. Have nice things

Just a periodic reminder that the #ScriptSky+ feed is what WE make of it, so don't always sit back and wait for someone else to pop the popcorn: Ask questions, share your work or inspiration, celebrate wins, and stay curious & kind! Talking about writing and being a writer helps fight the dark ✨️

May I make a citizen's arrest, please.

Pete Hegseth STILL has not released any findings from the Pentagon’s “investigation” of the girls school bombing, and since he only calls on right-wing hacks at his “press conferences” since he’s afraid of real journalists, he never gets asked about it.

I've either fallen into a deep pit of despair or I'm ready for lunch.

I just say @delgrosso.bsky.social say elsewhere that we're living in an adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel as directed by Mel Brooks, and that is the most accurate description of what the present feels like that I've seen so far.
