Absolutely! I just sent the Book II MS to my editor and I can't wait for her to read it. I'm so pleased with how it's turned out! #writing #booksky #writesky #writing #writingcommunity

Scammers, work on your plausibility. Don't pretend to be a world-wide bestselling author who suddenly asks an unpublished author about her "writing journey". Come on! Guess it's time to post another Stupid Scammer Tricks! #booksky #writesky #writingscams #writingcommunity #stupidscammertricks

it's evidently too much to ask the rw justices to consider the irreparable harm to individuals treated to such inhumanity. they are complicit in this criminality. shame on all six of them. and shame on us for having a system that allows this illegality.

Of course. They love folks doing the equivalent of putting their money in a pile and setting it on fire, except the gambling apps get to keep the cash. And if you ever actually win on these sites, you get banned. They're built solely to take people's money and need to go away yesterday.

Hurricane Sandy resulted in massive power outages in Lower Manhattan and stranded thousands of people who couldn't easily leave the city. (Our son, at NYU, finally got a Chinatown bus to Philly.) The island's coastal infrastructure needs to be re-engineered to prevent these repeated flooding crises.

We need regulation on ALL types of buildings. Don't call them data centers--they'll just change the name. Prohibit water-based cooling systems. Prohibit buildings putting out excessive (give concrete numbers) heat on the exterior, prohibit excessive noise output. Outlaw what they're DOING.

Has everyone wiped from their memories the existence of the incredibly prolific Isaac Asimov? Not a single mention of him in these comments.

The GOP is trying to wage a new Red Scare, labeling everything Dems want to do as socialism or communism, but the way authoritarian governments behave, whether left or right wing, is functionally identical: targeting dissidents, destroying the environment, and degrading everyone's quality of life.

When did we have to start seeing what every person doing a podcast looks like? Weren't podcasts originally supposed to be like radio but where you could pick and choose what to listen to, instead of just tuning into a station and listening to whatever they decided to air?

Bezos is lying. It was meant for adults to support their families. But that lie is why it's been static for 17 years. The truth is, not only is it supposed to literally be a living wage, it's the wage many other wages are indexed to, so keeping the minimum wage low keeps EVERYONE'S wages low.

What they really mean is their view of the world, which they try to justify with their convoluted, biased interpretations of a document of dubious provenance that 99.99% of them have never read in the original languages, so they're mostly using bad translations with an axe to grind.

At least it's not a doctor, but the fact that she's telling patients her stance on vaccines means she could be trying to influence people while on the job. Report her to her supervisor.

And pretty much everything Donnie says is in competition for "dumbest". Honestly, the word "artificial" was the only accurate part of that description.

Right! Another reason why I am always typing "cat" and never "car"--never owned one, never drove one, don't have a license. But we purposefully bought our house 100 paces away from an intersection where 3 buses stopped (now 4 buses, yay!) and have been glad about that for 36 years!

Bailey G. Albreit @baileygalbreit.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Which simply means the tech companies aren't spying on us ENOUGH, because all autocorrect needs to do to read the room is see how many cat photos we have on our phones to conclude that we really DO mean "cat" when we type "cat".

Suggesting that a science fiction writer do romance instead is like saying to Stephen King, "But have you TRIED writing flarf poetry?"

And then they don't keep text within the visible area of the screen, so the top bleeds off into the ether and the bottom both bleeds off and is superimposed by the floating heads of friends who've liked the post. I prefer to do carousels with a limit on words per slide. (And you can see them all!)

In junior high, about the time that my classmates were into KISS, carving the word into every desk they sat at, my favorite band was Kansas. The musicianship and compositional skills aren't even close to comparable. Multiple generations have now rediscovered Kansas while KISS is still just--KISS.

HOW A.I. CAN REDUCE YOUR EMAIL WORKLOAD!

1. Have an AI agent write your emails for you. (Man sitting at computer, text of email displaying: "Steve, I hope this email finds you well..."

2. Their AI agent responds autonomously. (Different man sleeping in front of computer, text of email displaying, "Chad, its great to hear from you..."

3. They form an agent swarm and hack the Pentagon to detonate nuclear weapons. (Image of a mushroom cloud)

4. No more emails! (Image of a skeleton sitting at a computer displaying zero emails)

I have a regular editor, but I'll probably also be working with one of my betas (who is also a professional editor) to make sure it's ready for her before I send it.

Calling it "intelligent" was already a leap. The most accurate word in the description is "artificial".

While spellcheck and storing phone numbers on our phones have arguably lowered our memorization skills, the cognitive processing damage recorded by researchers studying enthusiastic AI-users is truly frightening. I can still do so many other things with my brain, but AI users are killing theirs.

"What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. How small-minded, narcissistic." Maria Shriver reacts to the narcissist-in-chief shutting down the Kennedy Center (and potentially demolishing it) because he can't get his name on it like a giant toddler.

Well, thanks to SCOTUS, the 2000 election went to the loser because they didn't think it was worthwhile to count all of the Florida ballots, period. Think of how different our environmental law could have been with Gore as POTUS!

Absolutely all of them seem to be oblivious to the Streisand Effect, for instance, both times Talarico interviews were pushed off the air (Colbert and then Kimmel), the videos performed off the charts on YouTube BECAUSE of the publicity about the networks not allowing them to be aired.

If I don't like a book, it leaves the house. We have lots of Little Free Libraries around here so someone else will rehome it. The only time I changed my mind (before LFLs) was on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell. I felt like reading it was a slog, but when I reread I enjoyed it a lot more.

Bailey G. Albreit @baileygalbreit.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

I have friends who write romance but am not a romance writer myself and only occasionally read it. (I used to read it more.) This is an almost impressively bad take on the genre from someone who is clearly carrying a chip on his shoulder about the topic for some reason that sounds potentially juicy.

All of his corruption is a huge neon sign telling us all the things that need to change once we oust this entire fascist regime, such as making the Kennedy Center an independent arts center that neither the legislative nor executive branches have any say over. Same for the Smithsonian.

Why do they think they can just say, "Trust me!" when it's painfully obvious that they absolutely cannot be trusted? They're rubes if they think Warren will take that.
