I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is. Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

David Lynch passed a year ago today. I hope we all can absorb just a little bit of the energy he put out in his lifetime.

as I pay my bare minimum payment for the stinking pile that are my student loans, I just think “damn why should I pay this when our government literally is using my tax money to terrorize its citizens”

NVidia chief creep says resistance and scorn for AI have done a lot of harm. Good. Nice confirmation it's working. Keep it up. Although the main thing is this stuff is harmful crap so the mind and body tend to revolt against it automatically.

my old job tried to put on a country rock music festival (parmalee was one of those bands contracted) and it sold so few tickets that it ended up being canceled and memory holed. we were left with boxes of branded t-shirts with a concert that never happened and couldn’t resell. anyway lol

your very existence is troubling, enraging, and distracting as hell for some of the shittiest people on earth so no, i’m afraid you may not kill yourself rn

when Karen Carpenter sang “rainy days and Mondays always get me down” I felt that…. god I wish she were still alive! Her and Natalie Wood

this is like the golden age of bozos

it’s so depressing to be a newcomer to BG3, a game I’ve dreamed of playing for years and finally got it, only for the Larian CEO to squander every ounce of goodwill nothing is “generative” about using the Big Plagiarism machine for art.

the fact that pharmacy coverage and health insurance are two separate things. bro I just want a flu shot and Covid booster without seeing a doctor that I don’t have 💀 it’s almost like this country wants people to die rather than get accessible preventative care. That would be so wild, huh.

i think american life would improve significantly and quickly if society was more encouraging of people to have Hobbies. the most perfect and serene state of mind that exists is when one is Doing one's Little Things

I quit Twitter about two years ago but it’s so embarrassing to have met the love of my life & built my writing career on that platform before it became the weird child porn ai slop app. can’t have anything nice can we

Castle in the Sky. The older I get, the more value I find in stories that don’t overextend into all the insane world building but gives you the world as it is.

poets found dead on arrival

Icymi, I have a new story in @vol1brooklyn.bsky.social it has nostalgia for childhood, sinister going ons, and places you can't return to

all this is both foolish and unnecessary

James and I finally watched Glass Onion tonight and man it feels even weirder knowing that the insert Elon Musk character’s fake company logo even looks like what X is now, knowing that Twitter is dead. Honestly Janelle Monae should just be in every movie???? Ever???
