Another short story finished! Some science fiction in a noir style, first person narrative wherein a journey realizes he has been asked a lot to write about dead people—very, very rich dead people. It’s called “Fata Macchina” (playing off the nautical illusion, fata morgana)

Excellent reporting here by @raphae.li about a hacker who breached an FBI server, apparently without knowing it was the FBI, and accessed the Epstein files. The hacker allegedly threatened to report the server's owner TO THE FBI bc of disgust over CSAM on the server, www.reuters.com/world/us/for...

Love that AI, a thing we hate and don’t want, steals everything, ruins everything, shittifies everything. Drinks our water, plagiarizes our art, pisses all over our information fidelity, drives kids to suicide, serves the right-wing, and fucks up our devices and services. Good job, techbros!

After a month of buildup, may I present... The Queersar not an award 2020! 10 (+1) great queer SFF novels. V good year for queer SFF; I found it *really* hard to narrow down to 10. But happy with what's on here & more convinced there *is* a gap in the award landscape for books like these.

Matt is one of the best of us. Buy some books from him, friends.

BREAKING: U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained three U.S. citizens and three Green Card holders, including an Evanston resident, at O'Hare Thrusday afternoon At least one, an Evanston woman, is currently being held at Broadview's ICE facility, her sister told me

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own. Jokes on them...it was still linked to my events spreadsheet, and now their website looks like this 😉

Working on a Sci-Fi noir short story before digging into editing the novel… Here’s a tasty line, leaning into noir style. “The Oxford Hotel was, to use a classic descriptor, swank in that old-money meets old-west kind of way.”

Unbelievable that we have to watch for things like this now.

Why do I feel like Noem was given this new ad hoc position (Envoy to the Shield of the Americas?!?) to ensure that she wouldn’t do an MTG and start airing the administration’s dirty laundry?

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin.bsky.social launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets." Her opening essay is worth every second of your time: www.thekeymagazine.com/p/western-jo...

This ICE detention center is the largest in the country and has become notorious for rampant physical abuse, medical neglect, and death. We won't let up the pressure until it's shut down for good.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Is a Senator who interferes with Capitol Police to break the bones of a Marine Corps veteran who's staging a protest subject to arrest for battery, or does that somehow fall under the Senator's constitutional privilege?

This one from before Covid when I was training for the stage will always be a favorite.

Do you think Trump's parents realized they had birthed the Antichrist and were just, like, cool with it?

I'm late Gen X and all I'm saying is Millennials got fucked harder than anyone else. They were raised on post 9/11 American media and government and it's just been an endless stream of shit. And I'm not even talking about the 09 collapse. The wars, watching guns shred schools, social media insanity

Their used to be a candy brand in the United States called Fanny Farmer. This must have been hysterical to the Brits.

A coworker said vote no on the Regional Transportation Tax - it gives “crime riders” free bus fare... Low-income and unhoused people trying to get to work, a doctor, maybe a shot at stability. Can’t have struggling people accessing transportation. That might lead to jobs. Services. The horror. 🙄

I'm seeing posts claiming that former-prince Andrew was arrested for engaging in pedophilia with Jeffrey Epstein. He was arrested for sharing confidential government intel with Epstein while serving as a British trade envoy. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Yup. That’s a nope for me as well.

JUST IN: Judge Provinzino in Minnesota has held a Justice Department attorney in civil contempt for violations of her order requiring the return of a released ICE detainee’s ID documents. He must pay $500 a day until the documents are returned.

You saw how it started. This is where it finished.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

So it begins!

Good. Can they sell this "A.i." blocking service? I bet they'd find a market.
