Writers should never modify their own prose as a reaction to what stupid fucking generative AI is doing -- that shit stole from us, and it stole poorly, incompletely, and has none of our magic and zero of our humanity, our experience, our wonder and fear, and it never ever will. Fuck AI. You do you.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

doing the AMA thing on Reddit Wednesday, 1pm mountain. come one, come all. I really like these, because it always feel like a typing race, one where there's zero time to think, meaning, then, no time to lie, so they can turn into that Jon Hamm game show sketch (linked in reply). but hopefully not.

When I launched A Tribe Called Geek over a decade ago, I wanted to create a space where our Indigenerds could be celebrated and our contributions to geek culture and STEM recognized. Now, @redpopnews.bsky.social is the next chapter of that work and I need your help. johnniejae.com/stop-doomscr...

Stop asking billionaires questions, recording their answers and sharing their uninformed and/or racist and/or otherwise bigoted and nonsense ideas as journalism. It’s ridiculous. They are the most boring people. Oh wah I am a white man who has more money than I can spend and I’m so mad about it!

Amidst escalating fascism and horror, the books we have been reading for the Strength in Community Book Club have been a particular life line. These books point to nature and the wisdom of our ancestors as a guide, and hope, creativity and imagination as key tools in the dreaming of a new world.

Hi. If you know me, you know I don't often wade into industry discussion. But this response from MRM is fucked. Not only doubling down on a rights grab but lecturing writers about what scraps they should accept. The arrogance is off the charts. Talk about slamming your dick in a car door.
