Everything's been said... We have 2 more years of this shit.

they say thats our fault. theyve been expecting us to raise up since they hooded up but we had better shit to do with our time. america WANTS us to be free & have rights, but they just caint appear soft in how we get them, otherwise errbody'll want their humanities acknowledged & we caint have 'at

Supportive, yes. But I've found that the art we make is meant for strangers... anyone too close tends to read the creation through a biased lens.

Tough time to be American.

Baybeeeees, lemme tell you something MONEY is everywhere. Money for movies, money for bombs. Money for data tracking, and server farms. You need to focus on your passion and put your projects together. If you think money should be spent elsewhere start making the things that matter.

Surprising literally no one...😒

Microsoft makes basically infinite money and Xbox as a division is a rounding error for them. They don't have to close studios and lay people off because they're short on cash and have to make hard calls, so don't buy this "woe is us" sob story. It is a choice. They are *choosing* to do this.

Looks like it's time to bump up those salary demands. 👍

We really need to accept that our kids childhoods aren't and cannot be like ours. Like sure, I grew up with no phone and no computer but that was 30 years ago!!! Time moves on and it's unkind, yes--but you won't stop change.

Kind of WILD that all of this fits in your pocket, now.

Something I think about loads is how the lack of civics education in the United States is intentional because people just glaze over when we talk about campaign finance/ money in politics— which literally impacts every other policy.

I've seen *certain people* praise this film as "timely," "powerful," and "epic"--like John Wick meets Taxi Driver... it's not. Imagine a bad student film, written and directed by Jim Crow loving incels, with a shoestring budget and limitless cocaine. That's a kind approximation of this UTTER TRASH.

The level of condescension, vague dismissal, and gaslighting at that trial would be MADDENING. I vote "Generational Hunger Games"... we'd just need to wait out their medications or catch them while Fox News is on. 🤷‍♂️

Hook this right into my veins!!! 🙌🔥 #filmsky

The success of "Backrooms" and "Obsession" should spark a creative revolution that takes Hollywood by storm, reviving the dying industry with ambition, originality, artistic zeal, and narrative risk not seen since the 1970s... but alas, that's a much better timeline. 😖

Good Thread! 🙌🔥 Some stories demand a bit of extra effort from the Reader. If you can sit through a YouTube breakdown video, you can Google a word. The best things you'll ever read will ask you to meet them halfway. That investment is part of the *experience*.🤷‍♂️

This was by design of course. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2026/...

If you want to know why both corporate Democrats and Republicans are freaking out about DSA on the TV, this is why. We’ve been living under a 50 year lie that good things are not possible in our politics and it only took six months in a major American city to show that it was a bipartisan scam.

‘Say yes and never do it’ Mel Brooks knew how to deal with the studios

I don't think they know what "truce" means...🙄

Returning Engineers:

If you need some escape, check out my debut indie novel, "Apostate," available on KU for FREE or Kindle for $5.99. 🙌 ✍️ I also have two novelettes, "BUTTERFLIES" ($2.99) and "The Suicide Pod" ($1.99), for sale on Kobo, B&N, Google Books, Kindle (...and some others)!!!! Thanks! Okay...bye! 💙📚

The end of TPS (Temporary Protected Status) will affect 1.3 million immigrants, primarily Haitians, Syrians, and Venezuelans... I'm starting to think that they won't be going home.

Democrats are always more willing to fight themselves than the actual opposition. The Right is openly corrupt, removing rights, force-feeding us religion, and actively destabilizing the world. But sure, go after the people ON YOUR SIDE who are trying to counter the coming socioeconomic apocalypse.🤡🤦

Republicans are so petty that it's looped all the way around to charitable acts. Seems like it'll backfire... but go off, I guess. Go hate Talarico in food-insecure communities. 👍🙌

Some entrepreneurial Luddite is gonna make A LOT OF MONEY running a tech detox retreat (...that will inevitably become a cult).

Tired: Stallone vs. Arnold Wired: Jason Statham vs. The Rock

Can we just skip ahead to The Hunger Games, The Long Walk, Squid Games, The Running Man, or whatever dystopian hellscape they're planning? Do we really need a generation of illiterate influencer-gamer-gambler data center contractors who moonlight on OF when they flame out??? 🤷

Bruce Wayne is actually a patient at Arkham. His escapades as Batman are hallucinations. There are no mirrors, so his imagined face changes. The Robins are versions of a younger him. The villains are his intrusive thoughts. Alfred is his primary care physician and Gordon is a guard he's cool with.

If your reading tastes are on the edgy side and you like dark, disturbing, psychological thrillers, then you will want to read 'CATCH THE EVIL BROTHERS' and 'PROSPECTS.' www.amazon.com/Catch-Brothe... #darkthriller #psychologicalthriller books2read.com/u/4jzZ7o

OpenAI and Microsoft are being sued by the owners of 400 local newspapers nationwide for mass copyright infringement. The publishers claim the two tech companies illegally scraped their content to train their AI models — jeopardizing local journalism in the US.

Why TF are these people so obsessed with stranger's sex lives??? What in The Handmaid's Tale, chastity belt, factory breeding is going on?!?!

This is actually fking TERRIFYING...😰

ScamTok...at it again. You think they would've learned after the "infinite money glitch" fiasco. Those credit scores will NEVER recover. 🤦

I've got to do a final pass on my WIP and it feels like climbing Everest. I've read it A MILLION TIMES. Once it's out in the world, I'll casually read it A MILLION MORE (...to kick myself over things...)--but this ONE READ is just a big ass mental block. 😖

Sometimes, I sit back and wonder how many Batman villains this country has created... We're the devil making demons, at this point. 🤦

BEWARE for this contains my Nebula and World Fantasy Award-winning novella AND WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU TONIGHT! Which is I believe what they call a 'slender tome' and features a dead courtesan tearing through a drowned city in search of her murderer! :) www.neonhemlock.com/ebooks/and-w...

"We lifted five million people off of food stamps." 🙄😒

Musk says not a single person has died due to him axing USAID. Sadly, part of my job involves tracking aid spending. So here’s a thread with just some of the people who lost their lives because of USAID cuts

When reached for comment, the ex-curator had this to say:

I'll wait for the audience score. "Man of Steel" got a 56% on RT and continues to garner praise upon re-evaluation. People have been rooting against "Supergirl" since it was announced. Not sure why (...but also VERY SURE why). 🤔🤷‍♂️

"Trump said he would not sign it until lawmakers passed a law imposing new restrictions on voter identification and mail-in ballots..." He's just a big damn baby, throwing the world's most costly temper tantrum. 🤦

support Air and Nothingness Press! They've got a lot of great stuff! If you want to know my stake in it, my story "One to Sit in Judgement" appeared in Spirit Machine, I have a story forthcoming in a different project, and oh yeah, it benefits EVERYBODY for there to be a great press going!

They should pull themselves up by their bootstraps, tighten their belts, lower their working standards, move somewhere more affordable, stop relying on government assistance, pick up a side hustle, have fewer children, live below their means, eat less (a piece of chicken and a piece of broccoli)...

Guy who cuts medical science funding and allows measles and polio to make a comeback with our kids is getting the Super Soldier Serum

I've been writing for a while, so neither "positive" nor "negative" feedback really *moves* me. What DOES drive me up a wall are the ambiguous, clearly subjective comments that you couldn't decipher with the Rosetta Stone. I'm just spinning out and wondering: "What the hell are they talking about?"

UPDATE: The Strange Horizons fund-drive has completed one week; we're just over 70% base funded. Still a LOT of rewards left to pick up: signed book bundles by your favourite authors, patches, SH wallpaper, and some surprise add-ons coming up. Back us here: www.backerkit.com/c/projects/s...
