Baltimore/DC/VA friends, due to popular demand, I'm now doing TWO nights of "An Evening of Witchcraft," my lecture/experiential show at the Creative Alliance in Baltimore on Friday, Oct. 16 and Saturday, Oct. 17. This is a really fun, interactive show that you won't want to miss. More deets soon!

When are tech journalists going to stop being stenographers for these AI broligarchs and call out this sci-fi bullshit? I am so tired of it.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Uh, can we, like, fine the living shit out of these companies already?

"Did you hear about AI—" No, please. I don't care. "But Claude—" I said no, did you not hear me? "But Meta's new AI agent—" SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP. >>Me, every goddam day.<< Generative AI is the most boring and annoying technology I have experienced in my long life as a tech enthusiast.

Listening to NPR's "On Point" and allegedly educated idiots are seriously proposing that AI—computer networks that mimic human conversation—can be conscious/sentient. It's rank idiocy, and Anthropic and others just spew this nonsense to boost their stocks. We live in an era of utter stupidity.

We are a terminally sick society.

TBH, I'm amazed Palmer Luckey didn't call the company Warg.

"It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” —Krishnamurti

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: MeidasTouch obtained NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN photos and videos revealing devastating damage to U.S. bases from Trump's Iran war. Troops and military families describe being abandoned by their own government. “It’s so much worse than people realize.”

When first reported, 2025’s jobs reports added up to 1.2 million new jobs. After revisions, the economy added just 116,000 — 90% less.

Join me and my actor/comedian/all around awesome pal Steve Berg for a discussion of extremism in esoteric and paranormal communities on the "High, Strangeness!" podcast. Despite the seriousness, we laugh a lot, because, well, Steve is one of the funniest people I know.

Aha, so EA are the real reapers. RIP BioWare.

in the narrative of this ad, kyle, our white plagiarist, isn't even depicted as worried about his own job performance; he steals labor because seeing someone who's not a white guy being praised "really got to him" if that doesn't sum up where we are with all of this, i don't know what does

If they give me a test where I have to differentiate between a bunch of cartoon animals, I’m gonna get really worried about my mental function.

hahaha more of this plz

We a sick species—asking if babies are conscious while also pretending that advanced autocomplete computer algorithms are sentient.

This is some Patterson-Gimlin shit right here... 🫈

Great reporting from my colleagues on the staggering prices for the proposed apartment and office rents planned for the new Harborplace.

Yep, this tracks. The most vehement fundamentalist Christians are the antithesis of the love and compassion that Jesus modeled. He’d spit on them for their ugly hypocrisy and embrace of bigotry and materialism.

I don't need an AI agent to take my credit card info and buy expensive shit without my knowing, that's what I have kids for.

How about your fair fucking share of taxes and stop trying to fool the rest of us by sweeping the crumbs off your table.

Absolutely fantastic crowds Friday and Saturday night for "An Evening of Witchcraft" at Creative Alliance in Baltimore.

Wow, what a weekend. 2 nights of “An Evening of Witchcraft” in Baltimore and I’m teaching my tarot boot camp tomorrow. I’m totally exhausted but the audiences have been incredible. Pics to come soon!

As if on cue, Ted Cruz smears witches. He's no different than witch hunters of the Middle Ages. Join me tonight for the *real* history of witches, and find out why the witch has become the face of resistance to fascism. creativealliance.org/event/the-hi...

Weaponized interdependence hits battlefield. Economic coercion is not a substitute for war but part of the kinetic strategy. But to what end? Neo-royal ties between Trump-Putin and Trump-Musk lurk. Order to limit Starshield for Ukraine came from inside White House - www.reuters.com/world/europe...

A reminder that Ukraine are the good guys defending themselves and trying to survive. Literally nothing in the current shitstorm is Ukraine or Zelensky’s fault. Anyone dissecting Zelensky’s words/strategy to find faults has either hopelessly lost the forest from the trees or is doing it in bad faith

So a college reporter shows the White House press corps how to do their jobs when confronting a bully. They should follow her example. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Upon further questioning, it turns out she tended bar at a Chinese restaurant

Aha, now I know why the birdfeeder has been vacant lately and the catbirds wouldn’t stop shrieking yesterday.

We’ve reached the televised public execution stage of fascism. These sick sociopaths need to be removed from power and jailed. Hegseth in particular is a monster.

"Eggs expensive under Biden" was a story for six months. "Trump made everything expensive on purpose" is apparently just a Trump personality quirk we're all supposed to get used to.
