Extremely happy to have a pair of poems published on @bullshitlit.bsky.social this morning! Love that outlet and love that now I get to say “bullshit” in my bylines. See em at www.bullshitlit.com/blog/cschrei...

Wow, THIS is how you box set. One of my all-time favorite albums, absolutely beautiful artwork and and book full of essays and memoirs from the recording. Cannot wait to dive into all of this.

Well ... looks like I'm saying goodbye to Airmail.

Very happy that my first published poem is in the most excellent @whaleroadreview.bsky.social. I'm also very happy that this is my first published poem. It's called "Running Hot," and you can now read it online: www.whaleroadreview.com/schreiner/

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

Though I will say, this is the second consecutive trip to @moviemadness.org where someone had checked out the two classic screwball comedies I was looking for (Easy Living and Ball of Fire). WHO ARE YOU, FELLOW SCREWBALL FAN?!?

It’s a Hepburn and Grant weekend at @moviemadness.org

Really enjoying the discussion and comments on this post so far.

Really enjoyed this this morning.

Are you the person who rented the blu-ray of Palm Beach Story from @moviemadness.org the same weekend I was planning on grabbing it? I feel like we should be friends.

Another Modern Hiker Newsletter is en route to your inbox. I hope you got your America the Beautiful pass early ... but if not, the internet will help you keep that calm you're aiming for when you're out using it. Also, updates on desert wildflowers, SoCal waterfalls, a lawn swap, and lots more.

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Handing back student work that’s been written by ChatGPT with a 0 followed by the comment “This essay will never stand in authentic wonder before the Beauty of God’s creation.”

If only Leonardo were alive to see how they've put Mona Lisa in a pond.

I really need this checkbox option in more areas of my life.

Ok let’s calm down, @nytimes.com recipes

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

Being Sleepytime Bear for Halloween was a true delight.

Hell yeah! My first *published* poem will be out in the wild soon! Watch for it at @whaleroadreview.bsky.social!

It seem insane for a US Senator to say we've all been subjected to "a relentless bombardment of Marxist propaganda." But what he means by this is 1) there was a Burger King ad with an interracial couple and 2) Star Wars Episodes VII-IX had a female lead.

The new OpenAI creative writing bot's "short story" has the phrase "democracy of ghosts". It's the sort of phrase that would make me stop and admire it, if I were reading a human author - which, it turns out, I was, because it's from Nabokov's 1957 novel "Pnin". www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

My third time seeing @thehandsomefamily.bsky.social - I remembered they were great live but I forgot just HOW great.

Cannot WAIT to see @thehandsomefamily.bsky.social — Rennie Sparks is one of my all-time favorite lyricists and Brett and the band are unbelievably fun live

Take up some “useless” hobbies. Learn things for the sake of learning them. Be an unabashed generalist.

You really can’t beat Raymond Chandler for similes and descriptions. Even if you go into these books thinking you know what hardboiled sounds like, he will consistently surprise you:

Quit buying shit, write poems, live más

The market would kill us all to increase profits.

The firing of National Park Rangers and the implications for park visitor safety and land use/misuse has me incandescent with rage. These tech fascist motherfuckers are taking a sledgehammer to the things we love; because they’re empty inside and all they can do is break things.

WikiTok is amazing www.wikitok.io

I wrote a big ol newsletter this time … oh and I also shared a poem!

Oh so we're BONED boned, got it.

NEW — I spoke to a staffer at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) about DOJ's threat to pull funding if the org didn't comply with Trump's DEI executive order, and how org leadership rolled over. "Rather than fight back, we chose to sacrifice trans children," they said.

This is a great combination of corporate-speak nonsense and #enshittification from @disneyplushelp.bsky.social

"February, month of despair, with a skewered heart in the centre. I think dire thoughts, and lust for French fries"

I for one am here for Kara Swisher’s ongoing, savage, and justly deserved emasculation of these dweebs.

Meta allegedly torrented 81TB of pirated books to train its dumb AI. And they KNEW it was illegal (and morally wrong) so they tried to conceal the seeding on off-site servers. TECHBROS RUIN EVERYTHING.

It's appropriate that this sentiment comes after the industry realized that they haven't done anything useful in 20 years so they descended into mass psychosis over tech that does nothing but purports to do everything

Finished this last night - one of the loveliest and most moving pieces of fiction I have read in a long time. www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

A teen DOGE staffer recently given access to government systems worked at a startup known for hiring convicted hackers. Someone using a Telegram handle associated with him also solicited a cyberattack-for-hire service in 2022. All raising questions about his vetting. www.wired.com/story/edward...

(1/X) We're finally seeing signs that Democrats are starting to see how much people hate Elon Musk. Jared Golden (second whitest House seat in the country) is getting inundated with calls complaining about a "weirdo billionaire" running the country....

That people now see the typical person Silicon Valley has produced through decades long juvenilizing and coddling of young men and the persistent sidelining of women is an important thing except it’s also too late. These toxic adult toddlers are grown and cloning more.
