Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Tonight, I was one of more than 200 people who gathered on Chicago’s North Side to mourn Renee Nicole Good. Several people asked me to publish my remarks from the vigil, so I’m sharing them here.

@mcbride.house.gov is right. It’s hard enough being a kid — and politicians don’t need to make it harder. Thank you, Congresswoman, for speaking out against the cruel Republican attacks on health care for trans youth.

Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :) The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used > neal.fun/size-of-life/

Superb. One edit particularly drops out to me as a bit of truly sparkling dialogue: the left is the first draft, the second the shooting script by Stoppard

Someone (this company) didn’t read Little Eyes bookshop.org/p/books/litt...

Apparently Bluesky is seeing an influx of new users. Welcome! If you're interested in science, journalism, and/or science writing, here are a bunch of folks worth following. go.bsky.app/7Z8u31b

TWO YEARS OF OTHERSIDE! Thank you, everyone, for all your support (and for bearing with all of the posts, sorry, we’re just so excited!). The last four days have been… surreal. Not to sound like a hopeless sap, but it means a lot to see all this support for queer art right now. Thank you, thank you.

Starting next week! I’m teaching a six-week asynchronous class on editing science writing for the public: community.the-efa.org/event/effect...

spotted at Logan airport. i hope they are equally enthusiastic about fermions

Want to know how the Stage 2 process works at CoW? At this point, stories have been read and recommended by multiple readers. Sometimes everyone loves them at Stage 1, sometimes opinions are more mixed, but if any of the team indicate they see something special, it usually goes up. 1/X

This advice probably helps in any form of storytelling.

Another Hugo Award has successfully passed through the airport after a thorough inspection.

Best session title of WorldCon

An update from us here at PBS 💙

This. We see a lot of stories with beautiful prose, but sometimes they fall flat because they just don’t grab us in the horror feels. And conversely, sometimes we see less-than-perfect writing which DOES grab us, and sometimes we opt to work with those people…

A reason to read @thomasha.bsky.social today…

The motion to add poetry to the Hugo Awards has passed. Thank you to everyone who has shown support, discussed this award, sat through business meetings, and nominated/voted in the Hugo Awards. This is a huge, huge deal to poets. I am actually a bit teary. <3 #poetryhugo poetryhugo.com

Good advice for anyone submitting short fiction to SFF publications (including @smallwondersmag.com)!

Today is the 5 year anniversary to when I slowly started losing my mind during the pandemic and began dressing up as works of art. As my Twitter account has long been abandoned, why not make a thread of my madness on BlueSky? This was “The Maid” by Wilhelm August Lebrecht Amberg, from 1862

I'm teaching my six-week asynchronous science editing class through @efafreelancers.bsky.social again!

As promised, in light of the WaPo report of Everglades camp detainees being swarmed by mosquitoes in the shower and unable to sleep at night due to being bitten, I want to briefly address concentration camp history and mosquitoes. I won't be comprehensive but will give a few examples. [1/17]

you've heard about the college kids who can't do anything without ChatGPT's help—but what about the students who oppose generative A.I. for myriad reasons and refuse to rely on it as a shortcut? well, I found and spoke with a few of them here: slate.com/life/2025/07...

Feels like something created to anger me specifically. This is not real. This is not how physics works, this is not how LLMs work, this is not how anything works. This is just tech billionaires deluding themselves.

"These technocrats are constantly high on a drug called billions of dollars, and the human brain was not built to deal with that." I had a lovely time talking with @rollingstone.com about Musk, Bezos, the rest of the tech billionaire clowns, & the *true* name of my new book MORE EVERYTHING FOREVER:

The whole premise of internet publishing — that you could reach audiences far and wide — is starting to crumble: nymag.com/intelligence...

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

People want to substitute "Auschwitz" for "Alcatraz" to emphasize how bad this is. But this crisis in Florida is far from the universe of Auschwitz, where more than a million were murdered. Instead of equating them, I'd say we should act now to stop the future from getting any closer to the past.

Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.

Have you been having conversations about using #AI tools in your school? You might find this short webinar useful. youtu.be/BuFIyL74SKw

“Tens of thousands have gathered for the Budapest Pride march, defying Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban's legal threats against LGBTQ rights activists.” Solidarity with everyone marching at Budapest Pride today. It’s beautiful to see so many people resisting authoritarian politics. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

The meeting overall was packed with anti-vaccine talking points and arguments from new panel members, confirming public health experts' fears that the once-revered panel is now critically corrupted.

More to come later today but here is a first look at what just a few hours of observing with the world’s largest camera can do. 🔭 edition.cnn.com/2025/06/23/s...

A dream come true to talk about my book Empire of AI on PBS NewsHour. I discuss OpenAI, Sam Altman, & why we do not have to accept the extraordinary harms of the current trajectory of AI development. Thank you Ali Rogan for having me! Order my book: empireofai.com. www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

Some people get into journalism because they’re skeptical of power, and others do so because they’re impressed by it. Moments like this are clarifying with respect to who’s who.

"Are we here to provide comfort to the inert? Are we here to reassure people that experiencing a positive feeling is the end of their work? Do our stories exist to pacify an audience that’s on the verge of taking action by telling them they’ve already done enough?" 🔥

We are having more fun than the fascists.
