I will be receiving the hug that holds my shoulder in-socket from my working sling all day. Because apparently "fuck this guy I'm out" is what this arm will do forever. Nice. Cool cool cool.

Hey, think of the rats... Oh fuck the rats are food. Think of the me. I gotta feed you rat. Just shut up and eat the rat.

I don't want to be forced to disclose what I put in my burgers bc making them with rat meat is so much better for my bottom line as a small food business

You have until the choir or angels drops in "Les Fleur's" to get that jam to brain melting volume. Your vision got to blur when Miss Riperton does her thing or you ain't doin it right.

We in Exile cannot write for it is 9 to 5 time. We can, and shall, listen to the ever expanding playlist made to help us imagine characters. Rebecca Alter-Cope, spider in a human suit on the run in Canada has good taste in jams.

Donald Trump shits himself on the regular. And the smell of rot and filth that hangs off that man? Join me in taking great pleasure at just how awful it has to be to be in his presence. The mighty effort it must take to keep composure when you can taste the smell of death just being in the room....

#lofi #scifi: It's a writing weekend. We in Exile are not serious people, but we take the crafting of grownup bedtime stories quite seriously. RP 2 is coming. No AI. No death cults. And we give it away for free, for We in Exile got words in abundance (from EOT to thee, where/whenever that may be).

"Separate the art from the artist..." No and fuck you for asking. I mean you can do that (with caveats and conscious efforts). But the art has to be good enough, has to transcend the jackassery of the one who made it. Borges. The work is worth knowing why he was an ass. Rowling? Nope.

Tommy got smoked.

SCOOP: 'Tommy' from the now-viral exchange with Abdul El-Sayed is Thomas Teepell, a former staffer for Republican Senator Josh Hawley with close ties to Christian Nationalist Sean Feucht. He's the son of a former Bobby Jindal staffer whose consultant work was instrumental in getting Hawley elected.

Rationalists by any name are nihilistic, narcissistic shitbirds. Read real books you childish ass accelerationists and resist nihilism (or don't). You and what you believe are speed bumps for humanity on its way to a better future.

Anyone remember Chicago Progressive Partnership, the shell group that spent big to back pro-Israel candidates in Illinois Dem primaries? It just closed up... and transferred its bank balance back to AIPAC's super PAC.

The "the machine is alive" people? I get that you are lonely, that humanity is lonely. The Clanker is not alive. It is not conscious. Please sit your ass down with some philosophy, any philosophy, that approaches the question of what sentience actually is in an intellectually humble way.

Dearest Reader, it is world Octopus day and I am definitely not stuck on my current lo fi ficciones de sciencia. Nope. Nay. Still, I would be remiss if I didn't remind you of the Dolores trilogy about humanity, it's guardian, and first contact with Spoktopusses: writteninexile.com?page_id=2569

Just read your child a book, you piece of techbro trash.

It's telling that men would rather try to invent tech to replace humans' role in caregiving than step up as equal partners in parenting. Telling, that is, in that it shows how financial capitalism and patriarchy work together to dissuade men from doing "unprofitable" labor, like the work of care.

I get all precious about shit that I write that I actually like and then it does take some time to remove my head from my ass and to remember I write bedtime stories, so I should just write the fucker. Reader, I am slower these days, but Rogue Planet is coming. Chapter 2 in process.
