My splendid translator in France, Mikael Cabon, asked me to support an urgent campaign, launching today, opposing AI being used instead of people. I do so willingly, and feel same on behalf of audiobook readers and bookworld artists. I hope readers worldwide will show their agreement.

Aujourd'hui, c'est la Saint-Jérôme, saint patron des traducteurices. Et ils sont un paquet à être en grève aujourd'hui pour protester contre la dégradation de nos conditions de travail, mais aussi contre l'usage de l'IA. C'est l'occasion de partager ce billet : clement-martin.fr/fr/posts/et-...

Venez donc, on va bien rigoler (je crois ? Après avoir lu Beckett, je ne sais plus tellement ce qu'est le réel).

J’étais sur le plateau de BFM où je n’aurais jamais dû aller pour parler de la condamnation de Nicolas Sarkozy. Je n’ai pas eu le temps de rappeler que la seule chose fausse publiée dans cette affaire c’est la rétractation de Takieddine sur les antennes de… BFM: m.youtube.com/watch?v=4yYd...

« Est ce qu’on mesure la gravité exceptionnelle des faits ? » Face aux discours ignorants voire malhonnêtes des éditorialistes qui inondent les grands médias, il existe heureusement encore des journalistes indépendants comme @fabricearfi.bsky.social pour rappeler les faits! #SarkozyEnPrison

L'usage de l'IA pour générer des fausses archives, c'est aussi l'incapacité à admettre qu'on n'a parfois que le silence. Qu'on ne pourra jamais interviewer un paysan médiéval. Qu'on ne filmera jamais le Paris de 1580. Qu'on a perdu l'immense majorité des textes antiques.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

We're making Mandrake, a rural life sim set in a beguiling new world inspired by British history and folklore. Now we're not in the Fallen London universe (Sunless Sea, Sunless Skies), we had the opportunity to add sunshine! And trees! 😮 🧵 #wishlistwednesday

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

The argument for redistribution put in the simplest of words.

Here's the second piece of amazingly good news today. From a survival of Earth's ecosystems point of view, this is one of the most important international treaties ever signed, and even though it will no doubt by ignore and abused by some, it's a big step in the right direction. 🌏🐟

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Episode 33: N.K. Jemisin's THE FIFTH SEASON, with @jsanchez-taylor.bsky.social! We talk about dystopias with utopian glimmers, meta-genre play, and much more: ancillaryreviewofbooks.org/2025/09/23/a...

Come for the existential space dread, stay for the worker awakening of shipbreakers. This is an excellent deal.

Encore une défaite encourageante-rageante.

Déjà trois nouvelles pour le Bradbury challenge 2025 ! Je ne pensais pas arriver à me motiver à ce point, mais comme contrainte est mère de toute créativité (ou autre proverbe pertinent). (Rejoignez-nous ! steady.page/fr/nouvelles...)

Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Younger people won't believe this, but during the Second World War, Disney put out cartoons about how it was your patriotic duty to stand up to fascists, even noting that we'd each have to take a financial hit if we wanted to win that struggle. No, really!

Happy Batman Day!

"We spent six years thinking about a fascist takeover of a galaxy far, far away. Six years thinking about ordinary beings as an authoritarian regime comes in for the kill. Many people saw parallels between Andor and the real world. I see them as well, particularly in the events of the last week."

this exists it is called thinking

I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

All this is true and you should play it.

And day to day, life's a hard job, you get tired, you lose the pattern. You need distance, interval. The way to see how beautiful the earth is, is to see it as the moon. The way to see how beautiful life is, is from the vantage point of death.
