FINISHED READING: A detective novel, THE ZEBRA-STRIPED HEARSE, by Ross MacDonald. A strong entry in his Lew Archer series. 💙📚 #booksky ⚡️📚

Has anyone in the White House press corps asked Trump about this?

I get a kick out of dipshits seeing news stories about Pride Month events, commenting stupid stuff and complaining about how much Pride Month stuff they see on Facebook, and thus feeding the algorithm that keeps showing them Pride Month content. It’s adorable.

Starting to think half the “people” responding to posts about writing here are AI chatbots …

Writers, the best way to distract yourself from glacially slow response times from publishers is to write something else after submitting. #writingcommunity #writerlife #amwriting

-From Quarks to Quasars 1/ Fired government scientists just launched a new site to keep climate data public.The site is called Climate.us & it was created by former staffers behind Climate.gov, the NOAA-run website long used by many for trusted climate information."

Maine just became the first U.S. state to pass a moratorium on hyperscale data centers.

Gonna make lunch in a bit, then send a short story off to a magazine. Wish me luck! #writingcommunity #writerlife #amwriting

Well, this sucks.

President Trump is 100% responsible for starting the illegal and unconstitutional Iran war. Congressional Republicans are responsible for allowing it to continue and REFUSING to do nothing about it.

I absolutely do not have to respect this goddamned president…

We couldn’t even get a decent amount of Rs to impeach Trump after he led an insurrection and was basically powerless. God what a broken awful group of humans.

The Justice Department has been ordered to either unredact names of “potential co-conspirators” mentioned in certain Epstein files by next Thursday.

The founders, in the Treaty of Tripoli -- begun under Washington, signed by Adams, ratified by a Senate filled with other crafters of the Constitution -- said "the Government of the United States of America is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion." Tom Emmer is a dumb-as-dirt bigot.

Miller is a lying piece of shit. Even Ohio’s Republican governor — Mike DeWine, whom I hate — says the Haitians have been a boon to Ohio. Miller is a racist fuckwad.

Mike Johnson sucks really, really hard.

This man will go down in history as one of the biggest obsequious Trump Toadies. This is total bullshit.

NOW READING: A hard-boiled gem to erase the stench of trying to read Mickey Spillane from my mind. THE ZEBRA-STRIPED HEARSE, by the very talented Ross MacDonald. 💙📚 #booksky ⚡️📚

Big Tech's data centers are spiking energy costs for households across our country.   If a trillion-dollar corporation wants to build a data center, the American people shouldn't have to pay for it.   My Power for the People Act would make sure that Big Tech pays, not consumers.

Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, have a good look at the world around you, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important ❤️

I wonder if they ever get tired of saying this kind of ridiculous shit.

If any court thinks this case is not ripe for adjudication, think again. Story: buff.ly/YEXqD0C

Wow, he’s talking about the President of the United States….

Owners and operators of ~400 newspapers are suing OpenAI and Microsoft for scraping their content to build products like ChatGPT and Copilot without permission or compensation. news.bloomberglaw.com/litigat...

PRO TIP: Always take a book when you’re in a waiting room. 💙📚 #booksky ⚡️📚

I’ve been treating them like flat-earthers for a long, long time.

the official position of the Supreme Court is that racism does not exist except when any step whatsoever is taken to combat racism

You know if a man of that status is lying to you, we have much bigger issues to contend with.

53 years ago today, 6/25/73 With 85 million households watching on TV, former WH counsel John Dean reads his explosive 60,000 word opening statement which implicates Nixon, himself & other top WH officials in a coverup of Watergate & more. Nixon resigns 13 months later. Telling the truth matters.

I do not want audiobooks narrated by AI-generated audioclones of Oscar-winners.

I tried to read I, THE JURY, by Mickey Spillane. I write detective novels, I know the Mike Hammer books are hugely popular, but … no. Jesus Christ, no. 💙📚 #booksky ⚡️📚

Let me be explicit. The massive heat waves we're seeing around the world more extreme and frequent due to human-caused #climatechange. And these heat waves are going to continue to worsen because of our failure to reduce carbon pollution. Just one of the many costs of #climate change.

I just sent this out to Democracy Docket premium members, but in light of the Postmasters comments this morning threatening voting by mail, I felt it is urgent to post it online for everyone. Please read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/mail...

President Trump just refused to sign a bipartisan housing affordability bill unless Congress passes the SAVE Act, which would make it significantly harder for millions of people to vote. Tell Congress to hold the line and protect our voting rights.

My Odyssey and Iliad translations are available as audiobooks, read/ performed by very talented real people: Claire Danes and Audra MacDonald. They do a much better job than the robots! www.audible.com/pd/The-Iliad...

The man pardoned 1,500 insurrectionists in one fell swoop and nobody did anything He started a war with one nation and kidnapped the leader of another and nobody did anything He literally tore down a third of the White House and nobody did anything What else will our leaders do nothing about?

“Scientists should stop trying to be neutral and instead embrace their values,”says a group of top climate scientists, including @katharinehayhoe.com. The neutrality myth is harming the reputation of science right when we need it most.” #ClimateCrisis Science isn’t neutral. It’s science.

The book HUMAN NATURE, by @drkatemarvel.bsky.social, is a great example of communicating science on climate change while demonstrating the impact on humans. #booksky

Genndy Tartakovsky doing a Conan animated series?! YES PLEASE!!! Tartakovsky’s Primal animated series was some of the best sword & sorcery fiction ever produced, in any medium. That fact bodes well for this Conan series. #swordandsorcery #genndytartakovsky #conanthebarbarian #fantasy #dailynerdfix

101 former judges have asked New York disciplinary authorities to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, alleging ethics violations tied to his conduct at DOJ. My latest: open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

FINISHED READING: A very strong witch novel, THE BEWITCHING, by @silviamg.bsky.social … slow burn, with three intertwined stories all coming together by the end. Very well done! 💙📚 #booksky 🩸📚

Europe is currently experiencing an unprecedented heat wave. The US government is paying companies to stop plans for wind farms. Tech companies are building mountains of energy-sucking data centers. This is unsustainable, literally www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

I am reading THE BEWITCHING by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, and I just got to a reference to “P. Jessup’s Java Hut” and thought, “What a cool thing!” Am I right,? @pauljessup.com ?

Hey, #booksky … this sounds interesting!
