JONATHAN ROSS THREAD: 🧵 I think a certain # of women have seen the video from Ross’s cellphone showing the taunts that led to Renee’s murder. And we feel in our bones that we’ve left immigration officer territory and entered domestic violence territory very quickly. Here’s why: 👇🧵

losing my mind at the "she should have followed directions" people really? really? you're cool with "if you don't follow directions, they get to kill you"? that seems like a good state of affairs to you? that seems like how law enforcement ought to work: instant obeisance or death?

I just finished Gifted & Talented by @olivieblake.bsky.social and I don’t care if it’s January, I’m declaring it my favorite book of the year.

Introduce yourself as what almost killed you: Hello, I’m Tessa Novak and her clinical depression.

I am in the WORST mood. That is all.

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet. I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait. www.theverge.com/news/826902/...

I mean...he's been on a mission from God for decades!

A clarification

The kerning on this is giving me hives.

Tail end of a migraine & tying very hard to stay awake until the kid gets picked up. It is surprisingly difficult, especially since she is monologuing about a Roblox game.

The thread I’m hanging on by is attached to another, equally fraying thread. It’s threads all the way down.

I just had to call a cab. On the phone. Like it was the olden days. #awsoutage

I’m so fcking bummed that I couldn’t go to the protest but Portland, you did me proud.

Before you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves. One for practice and the other one is the "main" grave.

Grammar comes from the same root as glamor; "gramarie" is an old word for magic. Therefore if you know how to write properly, you are a witch.

Writers! How are we feeling about Substack? Are there any good alternatives? #writers

I got screwed over by HRSN and now I’m getting evicted. Can you help that not happen? Anything y’all can do, including sharing, would be amazing. gofund.me/e266399a

Been on hold with HRSN for an hour. There are still 30 callers ahead of me. Sigh.

First impression of the "liquid glass" in the iOS 26 developer beta: I hate it. Second impression will have to wait until I've messed with it for a while. #ios26

Holy crap.

Anyway I just exported all the snippets of things I had in Ulysses & it came to 666 pages in total.

Authors, are we cross-posting with BookThreads, or is that not the done thing? I MISS OLD TWITTER.

The reason generative AI is so popular with wannabe creatives is best illustrated by something every pro writer has encountered: getting pitched an idea by someone saying "You write it and we'll split the profits!" because they think the idea is what has value, not the writing. The opposite is true.

Oh this is BULLSH*T.

When it comes to shoes, red is a neutral.

Good metaphor

Cory Booker is amazing. I’m staggered by his eloquence after almost 25 hours. I’m feeling something that feels suspiciously like patriotism in my shriveled little heart.

The fact that I have a fever explains many things. Mostly that I have a fever.

The Greenland thing is so bananas. Cartoon-level bananas. Then again, that can be said of pretty much everything from this administration.

BARRELING* through my to-do list *checked off two things, shut up

Making chicken stock in the Instant Pot. Apparently all it takes to turn me into a depression-era homemaker is a government coup.

"It's almost impossible to believe he exists. It's as if you took everything that was bad about America, scraped it off the floor, put it in an old hot dog skin & taught it to make noises with its mouth" #PRESIDEMENTIA

No socks is the right way to go here; socks, even trouser socks, would ruin the clean lines of the shackles. I assume the menswear guy is writing a thorough essay on this and i’ll defer to him but this look is breezy as hell
