Heidi Wong's Halloween costume (instagram) is as the Shimmer from the Annihilation movie, with a purse using my novel. Really clever, looks good affixed to the purse.

Astounding corruption, even for kleptocracy as debased as ours is now.

To be clear, since the Apple News feed wasn’t, the “I” in question is not Rosael Torres-Davis but is very much a 45-year-old man apple.news/AH7cd2FHXR5C...

Fantastic questioning from this reporter.

Van Gogh's The Starry Night may be based on a real night sky rather than an imagined one. The positions of its depicted celestial bodies appear to match where the Moon, Venus, and the Hyades star cluster would have been just before dawn on July 22, 1889! 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

wow, no.

the rapist administration.

I now have permission to share something I hoped would be revealed with much more fanfare I spent more than 3 years as one of the writers of #MassEffect4 It was one of the greatest privileges & GLORIOUS challenges of my life So when I say I am devastated by the end of #MassEffect I REALLY mean it

Good morning! We're suing Meta for stealing our shit 😎 let's goooo

A fun thing to do is imagine every ad for a gambling app you see is instead for a cigarette brand

Pip Adam's Audition has won the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction!! Congratulations!!

Vance is in Ohio to support the Ramaswamy campaign, which is in hot water for an ad in which they promote a woman who sided with her husband after he was arrested for raping her 12-year-old daughter. For his intro song, they chose ... Jerry Lee Lewis, who famously married his 13-year-old cousin.

CELEBRATE US BY BUYING THE BOOKS OKAY (I am excited for the announcement! I am well aware I didn't win though because -- this being my second time on the shortlist -- I know they contact the winner well in advance so they can make an acceptance speech video)

The president shouting "fake news" is bad enough, but the FCC commissioner threatening to punish broadcasters for promoting "fake news" like "the president is historically unpopular" is so much worse. Add this clown to the list of officials who need to be impeached and removed.

Well, I'll damned. 🤔

“People power can win” 🎉 @justinjpearson.bsky.social and activists celebrate a judge striking down the MEMPHIS city council’s attempt to ban them from meetings ahead of the data center moratorium vote

While a lot of commentary and reporting focuses on what’s happening with AI, we can’t ignore how the data center buildout is intimately linked to the harms that arise from the products those infrastructures are being built to power.

"A world in which the White House is allied to the Kremlin was, until now, the stuff of paranoid fiction. Manchurian candidates and red presidents were fantasies, dark tales Americans told themselves like ghost stories... "But this alliance now exists." www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1...

While short-timers Sen Tillis and Rep Bacon are still whitewashing the treason, pretending it could be accidental sabotage by SpaceX, or doing “if only the Tsar knew!” to run cover for Trump while ignoring his escalating rhetoric, acting helpless—or promising to have the DoD investigate itself

Someone told Rep Fitzpatrick that his long silence wasn’t a good look, so now he’s doing some performative eyewash, but Rep Wilson is still mute as are Sen Murkowski and Rep Wittman, who insincerely challenged the equally-insincere Dr Wallander over Biden’s govt objecting to refinery strikes in 2024

And no “pro-Ukraine Republican” will do a damn thing about it, once again…

I stopped grinding myself into the ground when I saw what sold the most copies of a media tie in novel, and realized how the machinery works. Secondly, I almost had a tv show made out of a book, which would have blown sales off the roof. But since the deal fell through, the novel trickles on.

The most remarkable thing is that Jan Crawford, chief legal correspondent for CBS News, thought that El-Sayed explaining the importance of freedom of religion in the Constitution *proved Tommy's point*, which was that El-Sayed is a terrorist sympathizer. Because he believes in THE CONSTITUTION

since California ballots are now out: prop 40 is the billionaire tax, and you should vote yes to stick it to them but both props 41 and 42 are designed to retroactively cancel the billionaire tax because they’re afraid they can’t beat it at the ballot box yes on 40, no on 41 and 42

Part of the answer to "how did we get here?" is that many major journalists—since 1998, Crawford has covered SCOTUS for PBS, ABC, and CBS—are lying bigots. Here Crawford is praising a guy who asked a dumb racist question, glitched out when asked why, then admitted he wanted a Christian theocracy.

Made a little video about my reporting on “Tommy” from the viral @abdulelsayed.bsky.social town hall

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

calmly and quietly, make the hostile counterparty say it, name it, own it

This is very good and also I feel like Tommy was not sentient for the “freedom fries” era of post-9/11 America. Millennials have seen this tired Islamophobic shit before. Abdul El-Sayed came of age in this.

If you're wondering why billionaires are overwhelmingly siding with Russia, it's because they have the same goals - they want to break the current world order so that they can pick up the pieces. www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/fe0840e...

so many of us saw this coming (Radley included), from January 2025:

Non-zero chance Elon cut Starlink on his own bc the last thing the Masters of the Universe need is for people to understand data centers can be bombed.

Trump and Musk going all out to protect Putin

Good morning Bluesky! Hope you’re all having a great day
