You can't "not all men" when 1. there's no way to tell which men by looking at them 2. Cornell 7 3. the entire GROUP CHAT that said nothing. We have to assume all men because you've given us no other option. The end.

I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

All our AI dystopias are about what happens when the bots become smarter than us & worse than us. But wouldn’t it be amazing if they got smarter…and BETTER? The U.S. Military uses AI to pick bombing targets. Wouldn’t it be a great story if one day the AI just said, “No.”

The media only bothers to act when its own precious rights and income stream are threatened. In all other instances, the rest of us can go kick rocks.

The problem, of course, is that as soon as Trump caves, our feckless media will declare victory and go right back to business as usual: sane-washing and pretending this is all “peculiar” and “unprecedented,” not the existential crisis it actually is.

CNN and Politico spent YEARS sane-washing and whatabouting Trump as he ran roughshod over our rights. And now they suddenly care when it impacts them directly. Fuck them both.

My hot takes: • Ed Sheeran deserves everything coming his way. • I don't care about the Kennedy Center. We don't deserve to live in a country with nice things until we root out him and his cohorts and banish them to prison forever. I will shed not a single tear for the Kennedy Center. 1/

Went to Back to School night last night & saw that this is what my 6th grader will be learning in Social Studies this year and had to clench my fists to keep from jumping up and screaming, "FUCK YEAH!" in the classroom. #Empathy matters. #Diversity matters. #Inclusion matters.

Trying to describe a character's tension without resorting to "vibrating like a violin string" so I innocently searched "things that vibrate." 1st hit: "6 Things Around the House that Can Double as Sex Toys" 2nd hit: "What Household Items are Commonly used to Masturbate With" NOT WHAT I MEANT!!!

Happy Labor Day! Today we're thinking about the work of writers, editors, & publishers who create compelling stories and the librarians, teachers, & booksellers who connect those stories to readers. It's work that should be celebrated not banned.

The only appropriate response is "You're right -- Elon Musk is a corrupting influence on our politics. Let's talk some more about that." And then just keep going. No matter what they say, nod vigorously and talk about Musk.

Hey, publishers... It's a REALLY shitty look to try to swipe money for books you let go out of print... Like, say, the SEVEN books of mine from three different publishers who suddenly remember they published them once upon a time...

@kierongillen.bsky.social -- Thanks soooo much for the piece you wrote on Shalebridge Cradle in PCGamer a million years ago! Believe it or not, it's been very helpful in the novel I'm working on right now! (And has made me want to replay Thief...)

This iconic 1971 photo of Gloria Steinem and Dorothy Pitman Hughes has always said so much without saying a word. Two women. Two raised fists. One shared fight for equality. Dorothy passed in 2022. Now Gloria is gone too. Two giants who helped change America. Rest in power, Gloria. ✊🏼✊🏾
