So I just finished The Raven Scholar. Let’s just say I am the dissenting voice on this one. Big yikes. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/8b73...

“Your trust in me,” the bot added, “has unlocked this reality.” Yet another story of a tech worker this time, tricked by Meta glasses' AI into believing that he was having some kind of divine revelation, isolating him from his family and friends. These are technologies of abuse and control.

This is an absolute horror show. And people are saying children should be using this in schools??? Fuck AI and fuck the billionaires who are so invested in profiting off other people’s pain

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Abolish ICE. A little journal comic from South Minneapolis. #iceoutmpls #iceoutcomics #iceoutofmpls

This tota disconnect - acknowledging that AI causes real harms and then dismissing them bc it can also do this silly little thing that you can already do yourself and better - is the same brain rot that is infecting the pro-AI in schools weirdos.

ICE agents are just evil both as individuals and collectively. This shit is just fun for them they love hurting people Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Up here they’re called Starlight Tours. This is an evil act.

Dropkick Murphys are releasing a new song called "Citizen I.C.E." The lyrics go: "Too scared to join the military/ Too dumb to be a cop." consequence.net/2026/01/drop...

Book: haha, you’re so silly, reader, you never even thought that the murderer was invisible and could also walk through walls! Me: yes, because you never established that either of those two things were even possible. I’m so mad at this book. (This is analogy, not a spoiler, don’t worry)

Been wondering why my preorder list is smaller than normal. This is so bleak and also not surprising.

In that weird place of reading a book everybody seems to love and finding it… fine? I guess? There are flashes of brilliance but it’s also broken up by intensely frustrating passages. If it hadn’t been a gift, I’d DNF

“Calculators expanded reasoning; the printing press spread knowledge. ChatGPT, by contrast, doesn’t extend cognition—it automates it, turning thinking itself into a service. Rather than democratizing learning, it privatizes the act of thinking under corporate control.” AI corrupts our learning.

This articulates so much of what I’m thinking/worrying about

i wrote about dissociation, reading as comfort, vice and self obliteration during times of horror, and also about reading exclusively about gay love for like. a year buttondown.com/theswordandt...

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI

Know your street-level fascists

The murder of Renee Good by ICE is an atrocity that must face justice. Thankfully, accurate and clear video footage shows that this was a cold-blooded murder. This iteration of the print pays homage to that.

Charge Jonathan Ross with murder. Arrest Jonathan Ross for murder. Prosecute Jonathan Ross for murder.

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Bravest motherfuckers you've ever seen. They just saw a neighbor get murdered and still out there. Maybe let's see some local officials with the power to arrest show as much backbone as these voters PAYING YOUR FUCKING SALARY

Oh HELL yeah! Now I just have to patiently wait for April!

Ohhhh myyyyuy godddddddd this is amazing. Nonbinary protagonist!!! I don’t seen enough of us out there - I want to cry I’m so happy

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

*high-pitched incoherent screaming* I mean… Yes, this is a thing I am looking forward to a perfectly normal amount.

Love this. And probably a good reason why some books meeting popular tropes don’t land

When you read 138 books in a year, the StoryGraph wrap up graphic becomes awkward to share… Most-read author is @kjcharleswriter.com who wrote two characters I really saw myself in (Zeb’s ADHD in All Of Us Murderers and Pen’s gender in An Unsuitable Heir)

bye 2025👋

as promised: I'm back and I have Opinions fozmeadows.substack.com/p/against-ai

Apparently I'm doing this -- my open letter to that open latter about AI in writing and publishing. I emerged from Hibernation Week to write it, so god only knows how much sense it makes. But at least a human wrote it, so that's nice. Bonus: picture of my "cat," sweet baby Boomba.

New Illustration: "We Beat 'Em Before..." Taken from a British WW2 poster, the original features a WW1 German soldier at the top. I just swapped it for the Nazi soldier it had at the bottom.

Well done Skate Canada (a sentence I really never expected to type…) It’s stopped holding events in Alberta due to the anti-trans laws there www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

> Amazon's response to the flooding has been to write people up who are late and to refuse to let people leave who live in evacuation areas. Seems like letting an entire warehouse die in a tornado wasn't a learning experience.

At what point do you pull the escape hatch on a book? So tired of enjoying a book and then, boom! Surprise random fatphobia! Do I bail or keep going? (I’m aware this is not exclusive to fatphobia, just the one I’ve seen multiple times in rapid succession most recently.)

- speeds up climate change x100 but hey, you can get to see yourself as a ghibli character!

The sheer contempt they (and all the AI cheerleaders) have for artists is horrifying

"You shouldn't make art for the money" buddy I'll take it one step further and say we shouldn't have to labor for capital at all but in the meantime pay an artist

"I'm not in denial, I'm in open rebellion" damn that quote goes hard

Tapping the sign

"video game mechanics?" Actually, they're called developers.

You will be visited by three spirits

A) this is spectacularly crap b) this... doesn't sound like it saved much time or money in the end? c)

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to Sigur Rós Interpol Garbage Mediæval Bæbes Matthew Good Band

Re: previous post - People who steal art of any kind are assholes, full stop. If *you* deserve to be paid for your labor, so do I - and so does everybody else; this means writers, visual artists, musicians, and every other category of People Who Make Things.

I’m fucking tired of having to go under the hood and re-tool my entire life every two months just to get rid of AI features nobody asked for.
