There we all are.

Very good question.

Great story

This is catastrophic.

NEW: Since Donald Trump waged war on Iran, Americans have paid over $8 BILLION MORE for gas.

NEW: We just joined more than 200 organizations condemning President Trump’s dangerous threats to commit war crimes and grave atrocities in Iran. Our leaders must follow the Constitution and international law and urgently act to stop any targeting of civilians by this administration.

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Jenny Holzer, Untitled ("In a Dream..."), from The Survival Series, 1983–85

Okay, fine! You owned me! Now, back down!

Done!

Giving this place another try.

America is at a crossroads. It’s time for Donald Trump to be removed from the Presidency. Period. We need Republicans in Congress and the Cabinet to stand up and act immediately—human lives are on the line.

Speaker Johnson, we are calling on you to bring the House back to DC IMMEDIATELY! The Cabinet needs to invoke the 25th Amendment. But Congress can’t just sit on its hands and wait for that to happen when the President is threatening to commit war crimes TONIGHT.

Struggling with the work/WW3 balance.

This is not foreign policy, it’s a deranged mad man threatening to wipe out an entire country. It's past time. The 25th Amendment must be invoked.

I vow to go the whole day without posting anything that will get me fired, arrested, or hurt future paid writing opportunities. So help me God. #scriptsky

I haven't gotten to the New Yorker piece on Sam Altman yet, but it is actually insane how everyone is pretending not to see this story in the meantime... www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

You need to be very sure about telling a co-worker that they have a nice singing voice because you will have unleashed a monster.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

More generally, the more you give any tool more basic than a pen and piece of paper a role in your writing, you are allowing in constraints and precepts not from you. The effect of that ranges from the small (Word) to the medium (Scrivener) to the large (generative AI).

ICE agents had their training hours reduced from 580 to 340. Meanwhile, Louisiana has proposed legislation to raise mandatory training hours from 500 to 600 ... IF YOU WANT TO BRAID HAIR. We are living in the stupidest timeline.

Meanwhile Prof Tim Snyder is also issuing warnings about the same.

Quick question: Is trump okay? Something seems off.

Was just reminded that today, April 4, was the day Winston Smith committed his first thoughtcrime in 1984. In unrelated news, I'll be at Full Moon Tattoo & Horror Festival all day today tabling with Ellezor (starting at 11 a.m. Central)! If you're in the Nashville area, come on out and see us.

I'm just as shocked as the rest of you to see a right-wing company have no regard for employee safety, and to frame their own greed as ideological virtue.

We don't need more research to understand what microplastics are doing once they're in our bodies, we need policies that stop them from getting them there in the first place.

I may not be able to write a sellable screenplay, but I can grow a beard, so I'm a-gonna lean into that. #scriptsky

On the brighter side, I have a really good feeling about 2071.

The most insulting part of that Guardian opinion piece was the implication that I'm lying when I say that I don't use ai. Go suck an egg, Stephen.

Almost every sentence of this piece contains an easily refuted fallacy and its cynicism is heartbreaking.

Writing is the act of stress-testing an original idea. Without the writing, all you have is innocuous vapor. #scriptsky
