My book VULTURE GOLD is out today! Available anywhere you get books. bookshop.org/p/books/vult...

i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Ever fucking green

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

Wish someone would release patches for my vulnerabilities

I wrote about men in groups in connection with Jane Doe and the Cornell case. Some of what I discovered in my research shocked even me (gift link) www.nytimes.com/2026/10/20/o...

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

More than two dozen workers at three major publishing houses—HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette—tell WIRED that LLMs are being used for publicity, cover art, back cover copy, and emails, as some execs push junior staff to champion the tech. Read the full story: buff.ly/p0ymGmN

NEW: OpenAI took 20 million ChatGPT responses and had one of its experts search for chunks of text—specifically chunks of 25 words in a row- that were identical between ChatGPT’s responses and a news article. They found more than 400,000 of these 25-word overlaps between ChatGPT and our articles.

The 2026 LIGHTSPEED + NIGHTMARE Kickstarter is NOW LIVE! Check out our star-studded lineup of authors & peruse our rewards: subscriptions, signed books, rare magazine collectibles, t-shirts, mugs, and other fun stuff. Thank you in advance if you're able to offer your support.💖 bit.ly/LS-NM-26

Good morning and I hope you’re having a great day. I am about to ruin it with this long form story I did on how private equity is ruining cookies but also people are building shit cookie companies to get money from private equity on @weareravenous.com. www.weareravenous.com/the-curious-...

They sell ANDOR action figures, of course, and of course the audience is 35-50-year-olds, but it's deeply funny to imagine children playing with little Luthen Rael and Saw Gerrera dolls. CHILD 1: I think violence is not only justified, but demanded CHILD 2: I agree, but haste could be our undoing

We're so grateful to y'all for the support. We couldn't do this without you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/dav...

there is no rhyme or reason to an entire “AI” department, much less an AI school. There is no curriculum, as such, because AI is not a school of thought. It has no theory, no method. It’s just a tool. Two or three courses, max, if someone is obsessed with it should suffice.

This study followed "26,811 Chinese students in grades 7-12." NYC, please visit HeyMamdani.fyi and submit a comment to @mayor.nyc.gov telling him we need an "A.i." moratorium in the public schools, 2k-12, NOW. Kids who get addicted to "A.i." are gonna be left behind. Shut this down now!

“To put it simply: I do not like this world where people are using AI to generate art, music, writing, and software. So I will not use AI.”

Wild times on the UK MOTHS Facebook group.

setting the record straight can occasionally be done if you get yelled at for posts and want to write an essay explaining yourself fully. but if you get yelled at for an essay you can't correct the record with posts. that river only flows one way

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

The practice of AI companies secretly buying millions of old books (some vanishingly rare), scanning them for AI training, then destroying them, epitomises everything that is wrong with today's exploitative AI industry. 🧵 1/2

I just received a lovely copy of Vulture Gold by @micahdeanhicks.com in the mail. I was lucky enough to get a sneak peek last year for blurbing purposes and look how gorgeously it turned out! The cover! *Swoon* The stories inside are equally gorgeous too!

Kill self doubt in an alleyway and hide the corpse in a dumpster, I promise life is so much better on the other side, my art fucking rules

Consulting giant Accenture is trying to figure out how to stop non-technical workers from blowing through companies’ AI token budget on trivial tasks like converting PDFs to presentation slides, according to leaked audio obtained by 404 Media. Welcome to the Tokenpocalypse.
