There's going to be a Stonewall in Tennessee, just a matter of where and when...https://tennesseelookout.com/2026/02/12/tennessee-republicans-advance-bills-targeting-lgbtq-residents/

So my governor wants his own Gestapo with no oversight and no ability to see what they do... since the Felon-in-Chief has his own masked SS group, why not at the state level, right? share.google/a4zbdosQqxW2...

We have our first sellout! Will the creators (or their estates) of the characters get any compensation for their unwilling contribution of IP to the Plagiarism Machine (rhetorical question - answer is "NO") - thewaltdisneycompany.com/disney-opena...

I guarantee the GOP won't accept any responsibility for the death of the soldier, even though she'd still be alive if Trump wasn't determined to illegally swing his dick by sending US Troops against its own citizens.

Funny how Epstein is the most truthful person in the world until it's your guy in his emails...

"Give us your poor, your tired, your huddled masses yearning to be free.. then drag them out of their homes by anonymous masked Gestapo agents, toss them on a plane out of the country,put them in concentration camps. Then brag about how you're going to gas 'em like Hitler" -MAGA cultists, 2025

@headamame.bsky.social 2.1 files were released, so I updated mine with new colors and put on my custom leather strap lasered with my personal logo (critter42.com ). Filament used: all Polymaker - Purple, Lime Green and White ABS, Starlight Neptune, Starlight Pulsar and Silk Fire PLA for the cones

Um, how 'bout we stop comparing a vocal supporter of homophobia, transphobia, fascism, white supremacy and Christian Nationalism to one of the greatest Civil Rights leaders in history, hmm?

My custom veg-tanned leather strap for my @headamame.bsky.social headphones with my personal branding ( critter42.com). At some point I'm going to dye it purple and green

Starting the print for my next pair of Head(amame) headphones, this time for my wife! Thanks to Zee and Zed - @pezliz.bsky.social and @zombiehedgehog.com - and of course to @headamame.bsky.social for sponsoring Zee and Zed's individual stream and their monthly drawing! #headamame, #diyaudio

Fantastic Four: First Steps spoiler-free review - this film was a love letter to Jack Kirby from start to finish. And it was GLORIOUS for that.

Honest question - do you consider using Generative AI that meets the following criteria "unethical" and if so, why? 🧵 1) LLM was trained ONLY on sources that are a) public domain and/or b) licensed by the original creator with full knowledge for the express purpose of training Generative AI

Well, I guess the takeover of the government by the Executive Branch is complete. The Supremes proved with their shadow docket decisions this last week that they well and truly are the GOP's bitch.

Isn't shouting "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!" while you're preemptively bombing someone basically the same as shouting "You need to shut up" while beating the hell out of your wife even though she hasn't said a word?

Funny how the GOP will excoriate you for wearing a mask in public, except when you're kidnapping brown US citizens and throwing them out of the country...

When I wished for someone like Martin Sheen's president, I should have clarified I meant like the one he played on The West Wing, not the deranged one he played in The Dead Zone, which is what we wound up with.

If you want to know what Fascism is, on behalf of the Republican National Socialist Party of America, Speaker of the House Mike Johnson sums it up quite succinctly when asked about ordering US Marines to attack US citizens: "We have to be prepared to do what is necessary,"

Can the press quit calling this abomination the "Big, Beautiful Bill" even ironically and in quotes? As long as you continue to use the orangutan-in-chief's terminology you continue to legitimize it.

Vote was 215-214. Remember that Connolly, a Democrat, died less than a day ago.

So, hard-working, conscientious, brown "illegal aliens" bad (unless you lead a major drug cartel, then your family is allowed in without issue) Racist white nationalist "refugees" - good Does that sum it up?

So let me see if I've got this straight: - All of the good things are his doing - All of the bad things are Biden's fault - The Fifth Amendment, and really the entire Constitution, are optional and not his responsibility to uphold. That about sum up the interview?

Just got my signed, numbered edition of @scalzi.com 's latest book When the Moon Hits Your Eye, and the awesome folks at @inkstonebooks.bsky.social even offered to match the number of the copy of Starter Villain I got from them. I am SO IN LOVE with these Inkstone editions.

Am I the only one who occasionally prints a fidget toy or trinket to feel less guilty about having only printed parts for your next 3D printer for the last couple of weeks?

Hey! Remember that time when #3DBenchy welcomed all the variations - like as recently as 3 weeks ago? web.archive.org/web/20241217...

Thank you @jamesgunn.bsky.social, it's been nearly 40 years and I once again believe a man can fly...

@scottkurtz.bsky.social predicted the future over a decade ago: www.toonhoundstudios.com/comic/201312...?

Humble Bundle's book bundle for today is great if you need to fill in the gaps in your @scalzi.com collection: www.humblebundle.com/books/john-s...

Must be almost winter - I'm turning the detail up on my Steam Deck just so I can use the exhaust and heat sink to warm my hands

Today is my 1st BSKY anniversary :-D

I think George Orwell's head would explode if you could go back in time and tell him there'd be a show called Big Brother that is using Artificial Intelligence to manipulate people

The only downside of bsky I've found: Seeing the Kickstarters of all my favorite authors and author friends on here - and not being able to back 'em all! :-D

To the idiot currently ruining Warner Bros: We have enough LoTR movies right now, thank you. What we DON'T have, but would much prefer, is Coyote Vs. ACME #FreeWileE

Anyone else rely on certain cover artists when looking for new authors to read? In the 80s for me it was Darrell K Sweet and Larry Elmore. Nowadays it's @johnpicacio.bsky.social. I was looking for some new Urban fantasy and found Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.

Congrats to Susan Cooper for being named the 40th SFWA Grand Master! This is special to me because The Dark Is Rising Sequence is the series that inducted me into the world of SF/Fantasy literature at the age of 6 and the profound influence that has had on me for the last nearly 50 years.

Do you know how many people I had to blow to get a Bsky invite back in the day? (None. It was none, I just begged a lot until someone took pity on me...)

Gates are open. Time to unsling the Block hammer and be liberal with it

Those of us into funny/Demented music should avoid Spotify (and really any service that won't establish comedy music as it's own separate genre) in the future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tquJ...

Why Quora sucks #347: Found the question "How do writers feel about the death of the author?" The 1st two answers were about how the responders felt about specific authors' actual deaths. A shame, I'd love to hear @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com or @scalzi.com 's take on the topic for instance.

So I've been seeing all the coverage about Steamboat Willie entering the public domain and what the Mouse house will/can do about it, but almost nothing about how the cartoon is just a thinly veiled, animated minstrel show...

My Bsky this morning: @chuckwendig.bsky.social shenanigans, cat pictures, OMG @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com SAID GOOD OMENS RENEWED FOR S3!!!!! for the next 3 pages of posts and shares LOL

This @scalzi.com Humble Bundle is worth it for The Shadow War of the Night Dragons Book One: The Dead City alone - but you get all the other Scalzi goodness too! www.humblebundle.com/books/john-s...

Got my SECOND @scalzi.com signed (and numbered!) copy of Starter Villain. This time the UK edition with the stunning front cover - and printed edges! LOOK AT THEM!

So I give it about 3 weeks before we start playing "The Last of Us: The Home Game" arstechnica.com/space/2023/0... #
