Watched Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz with the kids, both twenty years old, and they loved 'em.

Bad publishing news today, and my microwave blew up in the new house. Good times a rolling in.

It's ridiculous that people are out here spending all their time talking like the coal miners are the only blue collar workers out there when there are more solar installers than coal miners.

Moving into the new house. Got the important kitchen essentials set up.

It's very frustrating living in a country where the Republicans are given a free pass by the courts and by the media to do whatever deranged dangerous bugfuck batshit they want, but when Democrats make any change at all, the media hamstrings them and then the courts brain them with a cinder block.

Moved into a new house today and I am so very very tired.

These LLMs are a DDoS attack against art and literature and society needs to react accordingly.

Shout out to every FFXIV fan who one day reads this book I'm writing and knows exactly what's going on with the two girls who are just 'friends' going out to eat coffee biscuits.

You know what's fucking critical for kids learning? Not being hungry.

They cut school lunches and THIS is the bipartisan school funding bill they come up with? Fuck you.

*weeps in Bloodborne*

guys i’m so tired of all the winning

@mdrabbles.bsky.social you see all the fanfest stuff yet? Such as the overhauled jobs and actions to a brand new Evolved system, reworks on weeklies, removal of tomestones, etc?

I loathed The Great Gatsby so freaking much in high school.

In the past we had “Jim Crow“ laws. The next phase should be called “John Roberts” laws

For one last day, today, there's a 99-cent sale going on for A Lesson in Violence in the Kindle store. www.amazon.com/Lesson-Viole...

I was thinking I'm not gonna find anything in this list and then I see this...

We, the employees at Hachette Book Group, are proud to announce that we are unionizing with Washington-Baltimore NewsGuild-CWA Local 32035, of the AFL-CIO, in order to ensure better benefits, protections, and rights for workers as well as increased equity, transparency, and agency in the workplace.

Woman: “Do you know what time we’re boarding?” Me: “A quarter to 8” Guy behind me: “Actually it says 7:44” Who says social media isn’t real life? Today I’m flying JetBluesky

“The number one [takeaway] would be that just because the AI is saying, very convincingly, that it is seeing something, it doesn’t mean that it is actually seeing that.” Holy fucking shit, just use humans.

The art on this looks absolutely incredible.

You’d think!! But nope, the technical advisor for Bluesky dipped their phone into the pool to cool it off and then was surprised when it stopped working

It’s an honor to be blocked by the technical advisor who dipped their phone in a pool when it was overheating in order to cool it off and was surprised when it stopped working

I'd love to write a novelization of the story of the concept album The 'Bi-Frost Incident' by the Mechanisms: a found footage rock concept album featuring futuristic Norse gods VS Cthulhu.

My teenager was given a research assignment in science class requiring the usage of AI. For a report on climate change. For Earth Day. I'm going to become the joker.

The spam email bot people are getting passive aggressive now.

This is shit, unbelievable shit, and I feel confident in saying this is 100% a top down push, and nothing the actual editors working with the books want.

Me: I'm going to write a 100k word book, nice and snappy. *finishes 13 chapters at 40k words* *sees 26 more chapters in the outline* *does basic math* Me:

Where Are You?

Your Kindle's not obsolete, it just needs a jailbreak — and I'll show you how it's done You can transform your old Kindle — even a bricked device — into the ultimate open-source reader. Here's how. www.zdnet.com/article/your...

I have two kinds of titles. 1: titles I have before I've written a single chapter in the rough draft 2: option number 6 on a list of 10 I send to my publisher out of desperation they like one of them

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

Me, licking the chocolate batter off the mixing spoon despite knowing there's raw egg in it:

Genuinely feeling like Mamdani has finally figured out the thing the left has historically been The Worst at. The left needs to: (a) use government to do Good and Popular Things Normal: [✓] Mamdani: [✓] (b) TELL PEOPLE VERY LOUDLY AND MEMORABLY EVERY TIME IT DOES Normal: [ x ] Mamdani: [✓]

This is the good shit.

Off the back of the 'mantasy' daftness du jour, this is a fab wee state of the market perspective thread 👇🏽

I'm dying.

I so badly want to refer to 'gravity' particularly in my fight scenes but never feel right doing so from any of my characters' POVs and I haaaate it.

Putting aside Sam Altman just continuing to emit huge lies constantly, this is an amazing example of what I mean when I talk about how GenAI is replacing *extremely low energy* digital tasks with *WAY WAY HIGHER ENERGY* replacements that *do not even work* Why TF is anyone using ChatGPT as a timer!

(Is it clear that I have no idea how to function sanely under these conditions? Are you supposed to tweet through a potential nuclear war? Here, let me shill books with an asterisked "assuming there's still a functioning civilisation and world economy".)

My usage of Twitter throughout 2016 to 2020 was unhealthy. I deleted that account the morning after the recent election because I knew I couldn't go through through that again. My blocklist and mute word list all reflect that understanding. If Bluesky stops being good and fun for me, I'm gone.

On a walk today through my neighborhood and got passed by a guy driving a golf cart wearing a full body bunny outfit. Glad I knew it was Easter weekend, otherwise, that might have been weird.

Introduced the kiddos to Addams Family Values for movie night. That movie has aged like fine wine, still so good.

Oh. Okay. Cool. 🤣

In a rare self-promotion post, just a reminder that every month, among other things, I'm posting three or so chapters Astral Kingdom's second book, DAUGHTER OF DESTRUCTION, along with a lengthy conversational ramble about each chapter. www.patreon.com/posts/daught...

I appreciate the hesitation though

Tomorrow is my birthday, which means today I receive my annual "I just went onto labor" post from my mom (the labor lasted 29 hours, for which I am always reminded).
