I would be very interested to know how much money has been spent on these "tools" that no one in their right mind at the Big 5 wants to use, all while there's never any money to market and publicize midlist authors

Das, liebe Freunde, ist das Benutzen von Juden für eigene Zwecke.

In 25 Jahren könnte ein Großteil der Erde nicht mehr bewohnbar sein und Milliarden Menschen auf der Flucht Aber warum sollte man Wissenschaftlern, Physikern und Meteorologen glauben, wenn rechtsextreme A*löcher, die nicht mal ein Kreuzchen an der richtigen Stelle machen können, was anderes sagen? 🤷‍♂️

Let’s not #SaveTheInternet, let’s make it worth saving. Let’s abandon failed internet governance 1.0 which assumed information = knowledge & that increasing information flows was necessarily positive/progressive without regard to rules, norms & accountability. Let’s reject cyberlibertarian premises.

Anyway, read my book, it's fun! And the cover layout means that link previews always crop to center Mickey's butt, which is delightful to me

In my book I argue that IP fandoms are a crucial part of the economic model of the current media monopoly landscape, as fan campaigns drive down the value of creative labor via harassment and disposability, scare artists from taking risks with IP, and give execs a direct fan base all their own

is true ✨🙂

It's a great day to unfollow @file770.bsky.social, which has become a Nazi bar.

I’m more upset than necessary about the Marissa Mayer AI thing. I could literally point at -*any random little girl* and say, I sense that she’s empathetic! Creative! and loves animals! And win the lottery. What kind of person would tell this story out loud??

Lula Goes HARD

I wasn't going to comment on this but as a parent of three children I just. can't. get over it. What. How. Why. The appeal to "how smart am I" by suggesting she was overwhelmed by "range and complexity" (yes, humans are complex) when it is just basic parenting to know your child. Does she not know?

I only ever received two death threats online. One was from JDA. But that's a fraction of what he did to Paul and many other good people in our community. That's why I'm extremely disappointed that File 770 chose to give him a platform.

So this happened today Special Award – Professional WINNER: @jhameia.bsky.social, @thejillroberts.bsky.social & Jacob Weisman, for Tachyon Publications

It's insane that the campaign against El-Sayed is basically that he has some secret relationship with the people that the president's family has a secret relationship with.

If you don't want to "debate trans issues," then don't. Say "girls deserve to play sports with their friends without creeps trying to look in their pants. We protect women and girls by making sure they have equal pay, equal rights, and health care." This isn't hard unless you're a coward.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Things have been crazy here this past week not just bc of normal life but because a long-standing, well-respected and ethical preservation breeder of borzoi, had a litter of ten (yes, TEN) puppies snatched from her yard. They're only 5 weeks, and unweaned. The community has been scrambling.

Hey, so, it actually took a lot of people doing a lot of unpaid work for Jon Del Arroz to be properly marginalized from the SFF community, and now he’s back, and in one of the more widely read genre fan columns around. So I just have one question: @file770.bsky.social, what the actual hell?

We need a concerted national project to make this sort of bigotry totally destructive to normal social life. This should be meeting-ending, date-breaking, courtesy-shattering stuff. Water should be thrown in peoples' faces. Customers should be kicked out of restaurants. Make these fuckers pariahs.

Kobayashi Maru that shit. The whole premise is bullshit. Shut the trolley down. No one needs to die.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

What the entire fuck Consider also that the site owner has a vendetta against a friend, well... I'm done

The exclusion of the European black derby team from the European roller derby cup next year is a fucking scandal and huge kudos to Amazing Disgrace for speaking up about it. medium.com/@thederbyape...

literally that one XKCD strip

Here's a photo of a helicopter landed on Joanne's 227 foot support yacht that follows around her 290 foot main yacht

Solar farms in the Gobi are cutting dust storms. A study of 17 farms found the panels slow surface winds by more than 9% and make soil up to 17% less erodible, reducing springtime dust by about 352,000 tonnes a month. RenewEconomy buff.ly/bambHT8 #ShareGoodNewsToo

Die Kürzungen bei der Grundsicherungen sparen kein Geld ein. Die Lockerung des Verbrenner-Aus zerstören hunderttausende Arbeitsplätze. Rechtswidrige Grenzkontrollen & Zurückweisungen senken weder Asylzahlen noch AfD-Zustimmung. Wirklich alles an dieser Politik sind Flops & falsche Versprechen.

Partei, die seit 2002 schon viermal in der Regierung war, wird dieses Mal definitiv Kommunismus in Berlin einführen www.der-postillon.com/2026/10/link...

Laut einer Fraunhofer-Studie gefährdet das Aus vom Verbrenner-Aus, auf das Merz voller Stolz als seinen Erfolg verweist, 344.000 Arbeitsplätze in Europa, die meisten davon in Deutschland. So sieht, wenig überraschend, die Realität hinter der Lüge aus, die die CDU uns verkaufen will.

if millennials could afford homes this wouldnt be a problem but this is going to hit the generation like a truck

Which is wild, because the answer is, "Do you live in a society?" "Do you use roads? Expect the firefighters to show up if something catches on fire? Want 'those damn kids' to have afterschool programs instead of running loose on your lawn? Want there to be doctors when you need them?"

Every time someone’s bitching about why we can’t protest like they do in France, I want to stick a bullhorn in their face and yell “FERGUSON.” White liberals in particular have memory-holed what happened in Ferguson and how many Black organizers died under suspicious circumstances afterward.

Ossoff: "At last week's debate, he couldn't even bring himself to say he's stop the production of neo-Nazi propaganda from his own house. Did you see that? I told Mike we could shake on it. All he had to stop neo-Nazi propaganda from his house for 3 weeks. He refused! ... a crumbling little bigot"
