ive talked on how i wont engage with writers who use ai, i wont eat at a restaurant with an ai menu, i wont have anything to do with it. but what this post illustrates is regardless of how OTHERS react, ultimately the worst part about using ai is that you are punishing YOURSELF and dont even know it

Trump admin arrests Colorado priest. Incarcerates him for over a year. Judge orders him released without charges. They release him without the wheelchair he needs -- other prisoners have to bodily carry him out. He's now being tested for latent TB: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/colo...

It’s true. I’ve seen pictures of this man in the big chair.

AI disclosures should be mandatory. If your customer doesn't want to consume AI, that's their right as a consumer. You don't get to force them to consume it. That's not how business works. Far smarter for developers not wanting to be tarred with the AI brush to... not use AI?

Voted in Georgia already!

I know it's a meme but, I'll admit, this one got me. 😔

I don’t usually buy fancy sprayed edges foil unless I’ve read it and want the trophy, but made an exception for Quincy Harker: Year One by John Hartness. It was just too pretty. Best thing I’ve done for my mental health since Cornell Case hit the news. If you are struggling too, highly recommend.

Voted in Georgia! They tried to give me a fracking AI sticker. Grr.

EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth wanted Gen. Dwight Eisenhower’s globe for his office. His staff broke it. The Pentagon denied us access to take photos, but we obtained some anyway. A story in global affairs: wapo.st/3WF2YQo

I keep accidentally telling @reactorsff.bsky.social that I’m a child. So I really wonder what content it isn’t letting me see.

also ALSO we're open for novella submissions right now more info here: www.neonhemlock.com/submissions

I should go. www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-cG...

Whereas Evangelical Christianity says you can always lie if you are a Press Secretary or a Republican Politician.

Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

I need to rant about this more. There are entire lines of clothes with pullover shirts and elastic pants for aging people to wear after a certain age because putting on complicated things requires mobility and dexterity that you begin to lose. No one should be required to wear a bra EVER.

A 56-year-old Mexican man held at a federal immigration facility in Laredo was found dead in his cell Saturday morning. His family says the center would not give him medicine for diabetes, high blood pressure and a heart condition. He is the 7th person to die in ICE custody in Texas this year.

Republicans giddily allowed President Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban to expire in 2004. After which, mass shootings exploded. This is America.

😡😡😡 “Meta employees acknowledged in internal communications that the Instagram accounts of Brazilian ​President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva were hindered by ‌restrictions during [Brazil’s] election” & that Meta “recommended the profile ​of challenger…Flavio Bolsonaro” & “his ​WhatsApp channel…” 1/

Meta should be broken up—at the least—if Dems retake White House

It's that simple. 👇

This is such important work, and the thing to keep in mind is that when AI people tell you that games will be personalized for you, this is the kind of thing they are more likely to mean.

Let me be specific: Donald Trump is an f-ing traitor. He is in cahoots with Putin and Russia to break our democratic ally, Ukraine, which makes all of us less safe. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/14/w...

Read every word of this and share it.

before this is over i will not be surprised if trump cuts down every cherry tree he can find just to spite DC

BREAKING: Trump administration cut down more than 500 trees on Saturday at the East Potomac Golf Course after giving less than a full-day notice, with more tree-cutting planned, so plaintiffs challenging the effort went to court seeking a TRO tonight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Trump's plan to disrupt the election is already underway, with troops standing menacingly at a DC ballot drop box. Under 18 U.S. Code § 592, it is illegal for armed troops to be "at any place where a general or special election is held," yet there they are.

Some nice vindication of Rosalind Franklin, whose records show she did recognize the helix first. Suck it, Watson. 😈

To put this in perspective chestnut trees used to be dominant species in the United States. Billions of trees were killed by fungal blight and now fully grown America chestnuts are functionally extinct. There is no getting them back. Ever. All for a data center. www.gadgetreview.com/one-of-ameri...

Ball O’clock when work should be over.

Driving through rural Pennsylvania and Virgina this weekend. Anyone know what’s up with the acres and acres of dried up knee high corn?

Trump is now responsible for 29% of our national debt. That's more than any President in American history. What happened to DOGE?

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

because the ny times wants to kneecap AOC the way they did hillary clinton. they don't do this for any other politician but her. and we must pound them into the dust for this.

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

He is not wrong. "There are reasonable grounds to believe that the reported 68 attacks that killed 223 people constituted crimes against humanity of murder under customary international law" - United Nations Special Rapporteur on U.S. Killing “Narco-Terrorists” at Sea www.ohchr.org/sites/defaul...

I was deputy M.E. at the WSJ when Murdoch took over, with a similar “editorial independence board.” Within 4 months, our top editor was gone, replaced by a loyal Murdoch deputy. That board raised a quivering objection, but the deed was done. If the Ellisons own CNN, they’ll do whatever they want.

White House correspondents, D.C. bureau chiefs, and media execs: The German government expelled Dorothy Thompson from the country in August 1934. She's remembered and respected today for her important coverage and analysis over the next decade of the German regime. Be like Dorothy Thompson.
