good heavens, it's really the 19th of March already? froonium.com?p=9652

Boat trip up the Cuyahoga River, way back when Cleveland still had steel mills. All I remember is suds, a half-sunken abandoned car, and a horrible smell. At least the river wasn't on fire that day.

The 1st iteration of HireHumanArtists.com is here. It's currently just a spreadsheet directory of visual artists who've pledged to never use AI in their works. Use the pre-made filters to find what you want or make your own. Please share with authors & anyone else looking for art!

Time to remind folks again. Let's have more directors put bigger budgets, bigger concepts and faith in female cinematographers. bsky.app/profile/cybe...

So called "writing software" that uses "AI" disrespects both the craft and art of writing and writers themselves in a way that is entirely without precedent or peer.

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

I’ve got a gorgeous leather Aeryn Sun coats that wants a home.

Challenge for those who are very confident that Muppets have no souls: Explain how human consciousness works.

To our further astonishment, FOXY IS 21 and continues to be an energetic and affectionate pain in the butt. She's less than thrilled with the daily subcutaneous doses of Lactated Ringer's we inflict upon her, but it's WORKING; she's TWENTY-ONE! #Caturday

This is right. And people hate to hear it, but Joe Biden’s single most important task was to Trump-proof the US. His task was to destroy the Republican Party to punish them for Trump, salt the earth over them, and implement big structural reforms to stop future R minority extremism. And he failed.

I do not like this gen AI I do not like what it implies I do not want it in my art I do not think it makes you smart I do not want it in my games I do not like its goals and aims I do not want it in my books I do not like the way it looks I do not like it, I don't care I do not want it anywhere

Now that he’s started a war, I’ve completely forgotten that he’s a pedophile.

Glad someone did this so I don't gotta. 🥂

A really nice fountain pen.

My answer is always the same.

many writers are good enough for me to pay them; no one is a good enough writer to get me to download the substack app

I guess my three main questions for a 2028 Dem presidential candidate would be -Will you abolish ICE and prosecute everyone involved -Will you prosecute Musk and the DOGE boys -Will you expand SCOTUS with the aim of neutralizing all Roberts-era jurisprudence

Today @lataco.bsky.social launched a fundraiser to help me start their investigative news desk. We're hoping to raise $25k to help pay for lab tests, analyze ICE data that the Daily Memo's been compiling + work with more freelancers. Been dreaming of this for years! givebutter.com/la-taco-inve...

This is my new favorite Farscape review. 💗

Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.

Happiness is a Warm Blanket, Charlie Brown (2026)

Been a while since I posted, but today being #CROSS premiere day, I gotta share this.... (1/)

“Who is buying ‘Melania’ tickets?”

Scapers, if you will: a warm welcome to a new arrival!

There are worse ways to spend a Saturday afternoon than hearing some pianer moosic at Disney Hall.

The Super Bowl is chock full of AI ads and, from the bottom of my heart, I hope every single company humoring this shit goes bankrupt in glorious fashion, and that the marketing firms responsible for pitching this fuck-awful slop spends the rest of their miserable days fighting off lawsuits.

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Ida Lupino directing THE TWILIGHT ZONE in 1963. Not like a boss, but an actual boss. #BOTD #TVSky

RFK, jr. is the worst person you ever met at a party in california, patel is the worst guy you ever encountered at the gym, bondi is the worst person you ever met at church, bessent is the worst person you have ever met at a conference, all these people are the worst versions of every stereotype

When I showed this panel to the extremely mainstream audience for the Berryman Award ceremony, there were audible gasps from the side of the room with the Washington Post table.

Thus, in sum, furthermore FUCK NEIL GAIMAN INTO THE SUN Thank you for your attention to this matter.

All the stars are here: Brantley Gilbert, Brice Bradley, Gabby Babby, Bibb Glibsy, Slab Gabbert, Brice Bryce,

Just one more thing the miserable idiot took over, slapped his name on, and drove out of business in record time.

Can’t believe they released the Epstein files to cover up for the Melania movie.

Bookshop.org is SIX today. 🥳 In these six years, we’ve raised over $44 MILLION for local bookstores—and we have all of YOU to thank for that. Thank you for loving and supporting indie bookstores as much as we do.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

If you’re a sitting member of Congress and not reacting to this speech by calling for immediate impeachment, removal and conviction, why are we paying you?

Whatever my uni declares, I am not going to engage with AI. I am not going to use AI or teach students to use it. I am going to continue to explain to students why it is harmful. Absolutely absurd to allow this anti-intellectual, environmentally devastating technology into the university at all.

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead. It's a Barbie Yaga Malibu Dream Hut. No regrets. Can't defeat fascism without joy.

Cheryl's Japanese quince has been schlepped out to Arcadia and installed in the tokonoma, and it's all set to receive visitors at the Baikoen #Bonsai "Winter Silhouettes" show at the Los Angeles County Arboretum this weekend!

A lot of people don't know that Nobel laureates get two medals. A real gold one usually kept in a safe deposit box and a gold plated duplicate for public display. She gave him the dupe
