He’s like the Gerald Ford of Colorado governors. RIP Polis’s political career.

It is WILD watching elites actively dismantle institutions and undermine our entire creative economy in favor of an overhyped grift and actually expecting everyone to not just sit down and take it, but be excited about it. Absolutely delusional.

This is Calarts. Arguably the best animation school in the US, its alumni include industry legends. The graduating class is booing school president Ravi Ranjan, he's been gutting creative programs and pushing Ai initiatives, corporatizing the school. His secretary is treating graduates like babies.

Nope. Not interested.

Hey, you... Yeah, you... the one scrolling... You know what's a good time? Getting out and hanging out with real people. You know what's even a better time? Hearing fab authors reading their works. You should check out Noir at the Bar. (Mystery and crime writers are the best people.)

You like mystery? You like movies? You like mystery writers talking about mystery movies? OF COURSE YOU DO. Check out Silver Screen Sleuths by @msemilyedwards.bsky.social! This week we gab about The Thin Man. Check out your podcast options here: silverscreensleuths.riverside.com/e/the-thin-m...

In the meantime, we can’t get health care.

Recently, FamilySearch digitized and uploaded tons of microfilmed records, including many from 18th-century Massachsuetts. They're using some sort of AI to transcribe/summarize the handwritten documents. I've noticed that the AI strips out references to race and enslavement in 18thc documents.

Men would rather put the robots in charge than go to therapy

Mamdani: I cannot help but think of the words of our 40th president, Ronald Reagan. He famously said, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are 'I'm from the govt & I'm here to help'" I think nine more terrifying words are actually, "I worked all day and can't feed my family"

AI fucked up an easy task, a task a human could have done easily. As a parent, I would have been pissssssed if that happened.

Drop an alien that’s not from Star Wars or Star Trek.

“We have made a technology that creates nothing but will ensure you have no future while we get richer and richer wait why are you boooing?”

These people are in such a bubble. They really no idea how much people hate this AI shit.

I think part of the problem is American’s love affair for wealthy people. As if being wealthy means anything more than they have accumulated wealth. Being wealthy doesn’t necessarily mean you are smart or morally pure. We don’t have to care what a rich person thinks about everything.

*thinks about all those times AI deleted important things* Oh, yeah. That should be fine.

It always works that way. These dummies never learn.

If the Congressman really was committing a “reign of terror” then Tate should arrest him for those crimes. Or maybe Tate should shut his racist mouth.

How can an AI be a sponsor? It’s never been an addict. It’s never had a drink or a pill. It’s never hit rock bottom. It’s never experienced life. This is a fucking dark tool. People should avoid it. People should be warned about it.

Blog post up! Talking about and reframing the idea of what writer's block really is and what we can do about it. #writing lawrenceallanwrites.com/ok-lets-talk...

Check out my story at The Yard: Crime Blog. Bring a ball of thread. theyardcrimeblog.com/2026/05/16/m...

These men are so afraid of what people think of them. Real alpha shit.

Oh, well. As long as he disclosed then, immiright?

Wouldn’t know. It’s been ages since I stepped inside one. And will be the hear death of the universe before I shop there again.

Remember: the Republicans hold all the lever of power at the Federal level. He keeps making ads for the Democrats.

All that kissing ass by the @nytimes.com and they still get called treasonous. People really need to learn: you’re not the exception. He will turn on you.

Was never about free speech. Rather it was about having no consequences from terrible behavior.

If they weren’t pill brained, things would actually make sense to them.

“The little man” Democrats should spend the money and run this clip endlessly.

I’m tempted to write a book set in Los Angeles and not include any driving.

More of this, please.

Yes, more of this please. Pursuing something just because it moves you in someway is of value. Not all things need to be a hustle. Or result in a very practical end. Doing something for its own sake is good.

Why are you doing PR for a bigot?

So… using LLM makes your brain weaker. No wonder the CEOs using are making dumb choices. The product makes them dumber. www.media.mit.edu/projects/you...

I just finished an advance copy of @curtisippolito.bsky.social’s WAVES OF BURDEN & I feel like I just spent a week in sunny San Diego! Such a vivid portrayal of the city. Great book—get it on June 24 from @rhppress.bsky.social.

Name your favorite vampire.

Self own by the Republicans. They could’ve had Pence. They could reign in their mad king — but they like what he’s doing. And it’s why they are ripping up voting maps. They want to stay in power.

Given everything going on, can we put to bed the idea that putting a businessman in charge of government is a good idea?

So Tom thinks everyone needs to get dragged into the mistakes made by the President? Dumb, Tom. Dumb.

“Socialism always fails” is doing a lot of heavy lifting when a lot of European countries practice what conservatives called “socialism” and yet people there seem extremely happy.

Look, rich people, you can either be super rich or loved. You can’t be both. I don’t make the rules.

Slightly increase a band: Iron Maidens.

They are SOOOO concerned with sperm.... Fucking WEIRDOS.

“Pro Life” party… Fuck these people.

Crucial point from @ariberman.bsky.social on the pod: Dems have already tried leading by example as a way to try to entice Rs to deescalate the hardball. It failed. Time to try something else: Dems must now engage in redistricting Total War. Our exchange on this: newrepublic.com/article/2102...

WE DON'T NEED PETROLEUM-BASED PLASTICS ANYMORE! "The [bamboo plastic] outperforms most commercial plastics and bioplastics in mechanical and thermo-mechanical metrics while maintaining full biodegradability in soil within 50 days and closed-loop recyclability with 90% retained strength."

This is on climate denying Republicans.
