Flock accessed cameras in a children's gymnastics room as a sale pitch demo. Despite being confronted by residents, the town decided to renew the contract anyway. @jasonkoebler.bsky.social breaks it down. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLR8...

If you're thinking about using gen-AI to "write" books, this 🧵 is for you. I’m a highly experienced editor who’s been in the biz a long time. Recently I’ve had manuscripts come to me where the author has used gen-AI – not for writing, I’ve been assured, but for “structuring” or "organising"

Honored to be chosen as a speaker at SWCC 2026 in Montreal (June 15-16), where I'll be speaking about Climate Change. More specifically, the role fiction, and the creators who create it, play in advancing understandings of the climate crisis. More info in the images below. #SWCC2026 #scicomm #clifi

When Bounty first released, ChatGPT had just come out, and I was asked about how close we were to truly conscious AI. I said “probably never.” The mask of conversational tone over LLMs has made the average person think these algorithms are much more complex and intelligent than they really are.

The 2025/26 NHL season was a hard fall for the Winnipeg Jets, and now Kevin Cheveldayoff and the Jets brass need to assess what to do next. Check out my blog on what a retool for the Jets could look like, with no major acquisitions required. #NHLJets www.jasonpchajekwriting.com/post/runway-...

Spent the weekend tearing into edits on Even Gods Need Thieves after another good chat with my editor. This is the fun part of the process, bouncing ideas off someone who knows how to get your brain humming. I’ve been blessed to have two editors who are all-stars at that! #BookSky💙📚

Mexico’s overwintering monarch population grew 64% this winter, with butterflies covering their largest area of forest since 2018. The recovery remains fragile, but suggests there’s been a positive impact from conservation efforts in the butterflies’ core habitat. buff.ly/XoPKQ9d #ShareGoodNewsToo

Had a great meeting with my editor last night regarding my self-pub project. The novel is in great shape and we settled on the name… Even Gods Need Thieves. A fantasy heist following a famed outlaw sent to steal a magic artefact from a magic university. So excited to share more on this. #BookSky💙📚

My fellow Canadian writers. This is a great literary event specifically for us! I've submitted to join, have you? #CanLit #BookSky💙📚

Dusted off the old hockey writer skills for this one. Check out my take on the PWHL Takeover Tour date in Winnipeg. A wonderful experience, a sign of things to come, and a solid game for both squads. #hockey #PWHL #womenshockey www.jasonpchajekwriting.com/post/a-welco...

The Manitoba budget ignored measures to boost local journalism that were recommended by an all-party committee of the legislature.

Ceremonial puckdrop here at Canada Life Centre. Only a few empty seats, and at the mention of both Kati Tabin and Jocelyne Larocque there was a louder pop than I’ve heard at Jets games.

Another stop in the surreal life of me, a spot in the pressbox for the PWHL Takeover Tour game in Winnipeg! #hockey #medialife

It looks like 2026 is going to be a big and busy year for me! Check out the latest blog post (I'm hoping to start using it a bit more moving forward) to get caught up with my conference/convention schedule, my upcoming projects, and even more! #BookSky💙📚 www.jasonpchajekwriting.com/post/update-...

A Price to Pay is with one editor, my fantasy heist novel is with another, and I’m stuck twiddling my thumbs without much writing to do. I don’t remember this feeling lol. Maybe it’s time to revive one of the projects I shelved a while back. #BookSky💙📚

NEW: On Polymarket, more than $5 million has been spent gambling on "Will the Iranian regime fall by June 30?" On Kalshi, a competing prediction market where users can bet on almost anything, $54 million was spent on “Ali Khamenei out as Supreme Leader?" The depravity economy has no bottom.

Fun fact for readers: we authors love when you leave reviews on our books with great written feedback. Sincerely, a guy who just noticed a really lovely review on his book on Goodreads. 😊 #BookSky💙📚

We interrupt your scrolling to let you know that CANADA IS GOING TO THE SEMIFINALS!! MITCH MARNER IS ONLY CLUTCH WEARING THE RED MAPLE LEAF BABYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

👀👀 #BookSky💙📚🪐

ITS OFFICIAL! Hot off the press from my publisher over at Turnstone, my new novel “Bounty: A Price to Pay” is on its way! Release date soon 👀 www.turnstonepress.com/news/in-the-... #BookSky💙📚🪐

Tomorrow's Premium: The Great Data Center Financial Crisis, where 20-40% margins are only possible after years of construction and billions in debt, and if we don't have $100bn in demand by 2028, everything's a wash. Here's $10 off annual. edzitronswheresyouredatghostio.outpost.pub/public/promo...

Shoutout to anyone writing a book right now. Keep going! I believe in you. #writersky

Something the current era of sci-fi and cyberpunk needs to include is how humanity is willingly slipping into a corporation-led surveillance culture. This is Governmentality to its extreme.

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog. With Ring, US consumers are actually building a surveillance dragnet.

Toronto’s Don River was declared “biologically dead” decades ago — now fish are returning after a major wetland restoration. The rebound follows a C$1 billion renaturalisation that rebuilt wetlands, reshaped the river’s course, and restored spawning habitat. buff.ly/Mm6gOi1 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Still can’t get Blood Over Bright Haven out of my head. ML Wang did a fantastic job and inspired me to take a stab at my own self-pub journey! #BookSky💙📚

Moltbook is a “social media” site for AI agents that’s captured the public’s imagination over the last few days. 'It exploded before anyone thought to check whether the database was properly secured.' www.404media.co/exposed-molt...

Last time walking through these doors this season! Has been a great build year for the herd, currently 5th in the conference, could see a playoff berth next season! #Hockey #Broadcaster #CanWest🏒

Posted up between the benches today for Bisons V Golden Bears handling colour commentary. We’ve got the illustrious Brian Munz in the house handling play-by-play!

And by “catching up on my reading list” I actually mean working with my OTHER editor on a new self-pub project I hope to share details about soon! #BookSky💙📚

Draft of Bounty 2 is in the hands of my editor, so now I can get caught up on my reading list! So happy with how the latest draft turned out and can’t wait to share more!! New characters, new locales, and a whole new threat to Nikos and the gang 👀 will everyone make it out alive? #BookSky💙📚🪐

Only one copy of BOUNTY left at @mcnallyrobinson.com at Grant Park 👀👀 grab it now before it’s gone! #BookSky💙📚🪐

So Xmas is now less than two weeks away! Got a family member who loves John Wick, Cyberpunk 2077, and action movies? Pick them up a copy of BOUNTY! Trying to get your dad to start reading more? According to my research (asking them) it's a great gift for dads! Dads love BOUNTY! #BookSky💙📚🪐

An interesting world-building conundrum I'm working through with the BOUNTY universe. For cities located in deserts, particularly those under photovoltaic domes, how do they keep cool? There are so many natural cooling methods from the ancient past that I might need to crib from 👀 #BookSky💙📚🪐

It's a longshot people will get this joke

It’s the holiday season, so I’m contractually obligated to mention that my novel BOUNTY would look nice under the Christmas tree. Especially for the sci-do lover in your life! (Ok I’m not contractually obligated to say that, I just firmly believe it 😉) #BookSky💙📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

I’ve been heads-down working through notes from my editor on Bounty 2, so I think it’s time to announce… I’M WORKING ON BOUNTY 2 WITH MY PUBLISHER! 🎉🎉🎉 With that in mind, now would be a great time to pick up a copy of BOUNTY. #BookSky💙📚🪐 www.goodreads.com/book/show/12...

My great-uncle loves telling the story about sneaking onto the train between Winnipeg and Winnipeg Beach. Some day soon I can do the same perfectly legally 🤣 Jokes aside, this would be a amazing. We need light rail in Manitoba. We need commuter trains. It IS viable.

An amazing piece of art to celebrate one of the crowing achievements in Winnipeg hockey. I know there's a site online that tracks all the murals in the city, but I'd love to go out and photograph them all.

Something I always thought was missing from large sci-fi universes (Star Wars, Mass Effect, Halo, etc) was a serious look into that way colonialism would work across galactic lines or when butting up against other intelligent beings. The closest we got (in my view) is the Drell/Hanar in Mass Effect.
