we fucking loved it, even when there was basically nothing on it, and let me tell you something else: we loved it because of human connection, human diversity, human creativity. WE DON'T NEED A SINGLE THING ANY OF THESE COMEMIERDAS HAVE MADE AND TRIED TO SELL US IN ORDER TO HAVE A GREAT INTERNET.

Late afternoon, coming back from a long road run around local lanes--all intensely autumnal out there, with pumpkin harvesting and last haymaking going on, & roadsides littered with generous drifts of acorns and hickory nuts. Caught this #SkyPortrait as I was walking the final section. #AmRunning

View of sky mostly covered in light patchy cloud, brightly underlit, the blue of the sky darkening, and in silhouette below a line of trees with a house gable visible at lower left.

Aves do Brasil @avesbrasil.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

🇧🇷Batuiruçu 🌎Pluvialis dominica Conservação: Pouco Preocupante O batuiruçu é uma ave charadriiforme da família Charadriidae. Também conhecida como batuíra-do-campo ou maçarico-do-campo. 📷 Vagner B Abranches

Uma ave limícola de médio porte caminha sobre uma areia clara e uniforme. O pássaro apresenta plumagem densamente mosqueada em tons de marrom-acinzentado, bege e branco, criando um padrão de camuflagem intrincado que cobre suas costas, asas e flancos. O peito e o pescoço possuem um tom mais claro e uniforme, enquanto o topo da cabeça exibe linhas escuras mais definidas. Possui olhos negros grandes e expressivos, localizados em um rosto de coloração clara, e um bico curto, fino e escuro. Suas pernas são longas, esguias e de coloração acinzentada, finalizadas em pés com dedos adaptados para o solo. A ave mantém uma postura ereta e alerta, com a cabeça levemente inclinada para a direita, projetando uma sombra alongada sobre a areia, que está salpicada por pequenos fragmentos de vegetação e detritos.

(right) Cover art for issue 241 by Marcel Deneuve is "Labyrinths of Azarax" and features a blue and white mechanical eye in a circular opening looking at a small, white, glowing humanoid figure standing on a large pipe in the tunnel. Many pipes line the walls, all heading out to the main room. Pipes are yellow and gray. Room beyond is blue.

(left) Cover art for issue 1 by Tomasz Pietrzyk is "The Town of the Towers" and features a surreal town of yellowy white distorted towers with reddish orange roofs that overhang the towers and rise to a point. Mishapen dark windows and doors are scattered about on the buildings. Orange sky gives the entire piece a warm tone.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Any cognition you perceive in "AI" is your own. That's it. You built your concept of its intelligence, the same way you understand fictional characters as people. The same way you can see an octopus in a towel hook. They are using your mind to sell their product. The human is you.
