So I’ve started Pride and Prejudice, and already I feel bad for Mrs Bennet.

Uninterested in leading a pile-on but no, AI does not “have access” to everything ever published. Not archival material, obviously, but not secondary material either. Nor across times nor languages. AI is not human knowledge personified. It’s exactly not that, in fact. It’s not even a search engine.

Welp there’s no unseeing this

Got a mysterious package today, contents tied in a black grocery bag. Daughter: What is it? Me: Maybe it's a severed head.

Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals. As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them. Go Knicks.

Once again: German universities were the envy of the world before the Nazis rose to power and took an ideological wrecking ball to the entire enterprise. If you want to know how long it took for German universities to recover… they haven’t.

There's a Seanbaby turn of phrase that has really stuck with me, "the kind of thing that makes Satan shuffle the papers on his desk and go 'shit, do I even have a form for that?'"

Core memory revisited today with new understanding. I'm 47. This shit never ends. 🤣

As a former Jones Beach Lifeguard, I urge everyone to read this.

DeTrumpification is as necessary a project to the US as DeNazification was to Germany. Everything removed from everywhere, including every person in the Trump party from every elected and appointed position of public trust, with all appropriate investigations, charges, and trials.

What is a dragon, anyway?

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

Trump officials tell Iran to ignore Trump’s tweets bc they’re performative bullshit. Meanwhile, our media back home…

“We often hear that our nation is broke. It is not. It’s our priorities that are poor. We can ensure every American has quality health care … That every young person who wants to go to college can go without debt. It is our leaders who simply choose not to do so.“

Hunkerousness [HUNG-ker-us-nes] (n.) - Old fogy-ism; political conservatism; an inexplicable opposition to compassion, kindness, progress, and equality.

What makes the Fox poll so brutal is it shows Trump tanking with core voter groups (working class whites, rural voters, even white men) and *also* with the 2024 constituencies he made inroads among. The Fox poll portrays extraordinary collapse: newrepublic.com/article/2108...

“Let them eat hate”

What you see in the Sun, is the Chicago skyline from the Indiana Dunes beach, across Lake Michigan. You can see it from 50 miles of distance due to a form of superior mirage, because the skyline is seen above where it's actually located. [📷 wesskywalker]

call your senators every day if you have to, this is so fucked reps.fyi

Only good people ask this question, and you can't be a good person if you're not asking this question regularly. To be good requires constant checks and realignments of your attitudes, thoughts and behavior with your moral compass.

I’m not sure why this isn’t being mentioned more, but: IRS policy for 50 years has been that the sitting president & VP get audited every year, in an effort to reassure the public they’re not corruptly abusing the office to enrich themselves.

Local librarian is having a tough day

“Look at the size of it”

I'm such a sucker for songs full of metaphors.

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

gonna be sporting and give tim a five minute head start

I’m sorry but “everyone is going to use AI to code their own apps” sounds like “everyone is going to learn HTML and code their own websites.“ like … have you met people? no they’re not

This post is for the writers in my feed. If you're attending a writing conference and planning to attend a romantasy panel, what topic(s) would be most helpful / interesting to you? (If you hate the word 'romantasy' or hate romantasy books in general, you do not need to @ me)

really insightful and horrifying stuff from @thefarce.org

Discovering there's a tier below "As Seen on TV"

The dog will knock pillows off the couch when she wants to sleep on the floor.

People who love to blithely throw around "just move" aren't taking the horror of this seriously. No one in this country should have to flee their home, their history, their family, their support system. Your rights should not begin & end at state lines in fucking 2026. This is an abomination.

Remember when Trump said what the hell do you have to lose? I do.

I just pissed myself... this is the movie he is mad that people are calling slop... I demand you watch with the sound on... it is so much worse than you think it is going to be...

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

A very shy maned wolf stopping for a visit at a monastery in Brazil for a bite to eat provided by monks. Because of their super long legs, they walk more like giraffes than typical canines. Maned wolves pose no threat to humans 🦊

I didn’t want to answer any reasonable questions.

Ahhh, our dog is so stupid. Bless his little heart.

fyi the jim crow language works. every time schumer or jeffries says it, the gop freaks out. it works.

Etsy seems to be back up, who wants a sparkling spiral? The blue has gone but purple and green still up for grabs: oishiny.etsy.com/listing/4479... #Handmade #ShopSmall #TreatYourself

I’m so thrilled to share the news that my new novel PENITENT will be published by @doubledaybooks.bsky.social, with Thomas Gebremedhin editing! Thanks as always to my agent Kirby Kim for his wise advice and for finding my book its best possible home. Coming Spring 2028! I can't wait.
