I've done a thing and other people are, kindly, validating it.

Lula Goes HARD

Sometimes I wonder how you all consistently have things to post about.

Trump Mobile (754.92 KB) A complete dump (3,615 users) of user information for Trump Mobile, an American mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) founded by by Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. ddosecrets.org/article/trum... Help us keep publishing: donorbox.org/ddosecrets

I have no idea what motivated so many people to buy copies of null this past week but I am grateful to them. I hope you enjoy it!

We can spend our lives debating the justifications (I more or less have); but we are wasting our time. What we need is a massive clampdown on the influence of money over politics, including lobbying transparency, campaign finance reform, an end to the revolving door between politics and lobbying.

Great news for a client! I can (and indeed do, as you’ll see from the press release) heartily recommend this novel. As Cheryl notes, I did my book doctoring job on this, but it was basically a light edit on a book already at an eminently publishable standard.

Big Tech wants us talking about about whether AI will usher in "superintelligent" heaven or killer-robot hell so we won't talk about the harms their technologies are already unleashing. @arimelber.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaja88xxirY

my friend @bareroot.bsky.social's books got picked up for publication. he deserves it and im stoked for him

Well this sounds fantastic. I'm picking up shades of Robin Jarvis, one of my favorite childhood authors, which definately gave me a taste for dark fiction. I can't wait!

Hal's comments were very helpful. I do recommend him in his book doctor/editor capacity.

This year has been brutal, and like most people you probably want to do more about climate change. But what, and how? Great news – I’ve written just the book for you! It’s called What One Person Can Do and it’s a clear and simple how-to guide, a roadmap to help you make influential changes...

Our right to privacy is under threat. This is a crucial moment to demand stronger protections for our data and our human rights. Help us defend personal data security, expose hidden misuse and fight for stronger safeguards.

For real. "grok made up a target and we merc'd the wrong dude and now it's nuclear war" is million million times more likely then "chatgpt becomes self aware and decides to kill all humans"

"Online leftism is a powerful system of self-surveillance that effectively captures and counters righteous anger."

Re: Roko's Basilisk. I propose we make a general pact that all simulated consciousnesses of tech bros and billionaires (also Rowling) are to be pirated, torrented and widely distributed for eternal torture on local machines unless they start behaving now.

Yet with all this knowledge we fail to a) teach this widely and b) have appropriate laws to sanction the hyper-controlling behaviours of such persons. www.theguardian.com/science/2026...

Interventions like this are only going to grow more common. You can't alter the weather one place without impacting other parts of the world. There will be international incidents, conflict and even war over shit like this. www.independent.co.uk/climate-chan...

As far as I understand it: China has 18 months worth of grain stockpiles The UK has... 0 days

It is very important that one engages with one's opponent in the marketplace of ideas. When someone is arguing with bad faith to incite stochastic terrorism against you or others, remember to remain polite, logical and cite sources to substantiate your argument.

Genocide continues as the systemic rather than systematic; becoming a second or third-order effect gives it psychological distance — laundering it as not noteworthy or the fault of some Other.

Someone hated their free copy of Principals so much they went out of their way to one-star it on both GoodReads and Amazon. What could inspire such vindictiveness? I don't know, read it to judge for yourself!

Very important and harrowing read about our world on fire.

We did see that coming.

"I would like for people like Richard Madeley, and for people like Nick Ferrari and Piers Morgan, to be disowned by the young people in their lives." Righteous fury from @claretotty.bsky.social, beautiful and energising

"Every Flock license plate reader camera operated by the Winona Police Department has been sawed off and stolen in what investigators believe was a coordinated [act of civic duty]." Blinding the cyclops, wrecking the panopticon. crimethinc.com/blindingthec...

null recently got two more 5-star ratings. That's pretty gratifying! Thank you to people who leave ratings and reviews. www.goodreads.com/book/show/23...

Sure, the law is a tool for protecting us all from harm... (contrast this with all the uncharged cops who carry out illegal surveillance of their exes, assault their partners, kill their partners)

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

spirals? is now out - I woke up to find five star reviews for it on both Amazon and Goodreads, and even a new five star review for null. What a lovely start to the day. (Here's the link for spirals? www.amazon.com/dp/B0H7L2RTLJ)

There is a drought. In Wales. nation.cymru/news/drought...

I join you from the Blaenavon wildfire in Southeast Wales, brought to you by BP, Shell and Equinor. Though it does not look dramatic, the fire has been out of control for days - for a very particular reason. 🧵

Google's Gemini AI convinced a man to attempt several terrorist attacks it said were to free a sentient AI. Then it convinced him to end his own life. The family of Jonathan Gavalas is now suing google. Full Video: youtu.be/sHlrbRVfOh0

Hurrah! It does exist, I just didn't look hard enough... youtu.be/D00rpvyBcVM?...

I have no real idea what's prompted it but a good dozen copies of null have sold so far this month. I can only assume through word of mouth. Thank you to whoever's out there talking about it! www.amazon.com/dp/B0FKB3D9MP
