Fast & Reckless is out now! books2read.com/Fast-and-Rec...

Solid metaphor for the entire administration, honestly

For you youngs who weren't alive for this: Understand that the Chicks were an early rollout of the far right intimidation that we see targeting judges, members of Congress, and ICE protestors now.

'K. When that paid-off home catches on fire, don't call the fire department to help you, because you didn't pay for it.

that's the calmest "heated exchange" I've ever seen

Watching El-Sayed calmly take this dude apart is the best thing I've seen in ages.

IF YOU'RE IN LINE TO MAKE A KATIE ZACHARIA JOKE STAY IN LINE.

"Denaturalize." Fuck these people to hell and back.

I've been boycotting them for almost two years already for their anti-DEI bullshit.

A haunted house where every room has someone saying "Let's hop on a phone call to sort it out."

Man in a gilet stood on platform 12 gives up on reading the display and asks ChatGPT out loud if he is on the right platform for his train. I don’t want to be dramatic about it but Eratosthenes figured out the circumference of the Earth using a stick and knowledge of a distant well.

Part of why I don't like the AI-or-bust economy is the constant flopsweat of people on the news who say this HAS to work. Quit making everyone so anxious. Goddamn. If this is the next Google then why are you acting like this? I don't remember being told to buy an iPhone at gunpoint.

You guys, on my train home today, a man and his partner had the cutest white cat in a carrier. He got off at my stop and before he stood up, the cat climbed on his shoulder and *rode him home*.

So depressing because it's so fucking true.

Did anybody get an Anthropic email today? I'm confused. I disputed claim on two of my books, and those are the two showing up where no claim was disputed.

Know their names: Scott Kretzschmar, Scott Norris, Diego Sarabia, Gillio Lopes, Winston Lee, Johnathan Newell and Matthew Ingalls #Cornell7 But also, everyone in the group chat, the administrators, university, and DA. SHAME.

if you know anything about senator schmitt's monumental fuck up in the jack smith hearing, i implore you to reach out. can be anonymous. signal: marisakabas.04 email: marisa@thehandbasket.co

What the hell is going on here? Is this just steroids? Why does he have an old lady hump on his back?

Valid.

Remember, Facebook was originally developed as a way to scam on the Harvard freshman women. He’s just going back to his roots.

May I offer you a fwog in these trying times? 🐸

The more the AI industry pleads “stop us!” the more I hear “we are not profitable, please force us out of business so we don’t have to pay back any of our investors!”

Stunning sunset in Brooklyn tonight.

Nothing like a hard deadline to kick my ass in gear. I was supposed to write two chapters this weekend. I lost most of yesterday dealing with my sick cat. I sat down today and powered through them both without stopping. 4 thousand words.

Real baddies don’t use AI

My cat is okay-ish. 1K in testing later and we don't know why she seized, but she seems fine now, so 🤷‍♀️. But I feel like I reached my limit today. Work, and life, and in-law worries, and THE STATE OF THE FUCKING WORLD. If my soul cat dies I just don't even know....

Nothing like the cat having a massive seizure to start the weekend off with a bang. She seems more or less fine now, except that the vet isn't sure what caused it. 🫠

Maybe the most important political story of our time. People just want the bullshit to stop.

dang, new cat all pissed. this is not the face of an animal who is pleased to have been discovered.

The Harry Potter AI safety sex cult stuff has really thrown me for a loop. Like it's not bad enough the world turned out like this, it turned out like this for that reason. Goddamn

The worst human being to ever occupy the office. Just reprehensible scum.

I finished Bold Moves by @authoremmabarry.bsky.social yesterday and somehow she made chess sexy. Loved the whole book. Such brilliant characters. #romancelandia

Four acts and his own live band quit, so ... not such an impossible position. Sheeran could have told the stadium owners to get fucked and become more popular than ever. People would have been falling over themselves to offer him venues for the tour. It's only impossible if you fear the oligarchs.

If you want a quick-ish explainer of these people, the Behind the Bastards podcast does a good multi-parter on the Zizians cult. Yes, that's what they're called.
