🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....
Cover of my new book, Deep Unlearning: The Rise of AI and The Radicalization of a Tech Idealist. 

There are two concentric circles in the book, the left being circuits in black an white, and the right being a bunch of dots with orange accents. The cover background is cream. And the words are written in black except for "Un" which is in orange.

Donald Trump canceled a program that let you file your taxes directly with the IRS for free. Why? I have a theory.

Why would Trump end a program that saves you money by letting you file your taxes for free with the IRS? Maybe because TurboTax's parent company donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration. Call it out for what it is: corruption.

Review of 'Is Ted Ok?' #3 (2026) written by me for @thecomicon.bsky.social. tinyurl.com/3ycum6hx @madcavestudios.com #writing #comics #comicbook #comicbooks #review #dystopianscifi #fiction
Cover to the comic book 'Is Ted Ok?' #3 created by writer, artist, letterer Dave Chisholm. Published by Madcave Studios. Madcave logo is at the top left corner. Creator credit is above the title. Issue number is at the bottom right corner. The character Brody's face has a maniacal smile above facial hair that looks like a soul patch. A long lock of hair is overlaying his right eye, forehead, and cheek which are on the left side of the page. His right thumb and some of that hand is slightly visible while he holds the barely visible butt end of a literally smoking gun. His white face and is has lots of red, possibly from the suggestion of red light in the background. He is wearing a brown suit with two buttons in a row on the sleeves. His blondish red hair looks reddish orange to my slightly color blind eyes. Lastly, his eyes are definitely blue.
