I keep thinking back to my college roommate who was hit with tens of thousands in fines for file sharing music. Now, AI companies just get to disregard copyright entirely and we’re told we have to choke it down and deal with it.

Every day, in every way, I am more and more pleased with my decision to remove FB/Meta from my life as much as I can.

My new pitch for Reality TV is "I MUST PROTEST!" Every week, two charismatic college professors and one celebrity guest view footage of protests for social change from around the globe and send $10,000 to "the best one."

writers: remember that we must be in solidarity with our artist comrades. this affects all creatives. do not be like those quislings who disdain genai writing but eagerly use genai imagery.

There must be posters the algorithm promotes but does not constrain, and posters the algorithm constrains but does not promote.

TIGERS ARE NOT AFRAID THE UNTAMED manages the astonishing trick of using explicit horniness to examine heartbreaking loneliness. I REMEMBER YOU is from Iceland from 2017 and I feel like people are either going to love its gimmick or despise it, but I found it clever.

Here in #Wisconsin, Brian Steil is resorting to desperate, screedy mailers. DAMN but I would love to never hear another thing from or about that oily little grifter.

SMBC Comics @smbccomics.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

I think a lot of these LLM jockeys have never tried to write or paint, and have never really admired an author or artist. They are now being treated as such creatives often are--with scorn...

It's not a topical comic in that I suspect I'll be posting it every few years for a long time. COMIC ◆ www.smbc-comics.com/comic/woops PATREON ◆ www.patreon.com/ZachWeinersm... STORE ◆ smbc-store.myshopify.com

3-panel SMBC comic update. A man is checking news headlines on his phone, with the first stating "president raises tariffs; deports workers; starts war." The man says "woops," still looking down at his phone. The final panel shows a scene from earlier, where the man is wishing on a monkey's paw: "Monkey's Paw, I wish people cared about basic economics." One of the fingers on the paw curls ominously.

I will now type the sentence that so many writers long to read, maybe even more than "Check enclosed.": I am so jealous.

The State AGs were on pace to kill the Paramount/Warner Bros by litigation and delay until Gavin Newsom stepped in and turned the tide. Now the Trump loyalist Ellisons will control CNN and HBO. Don't ever, ever forget that Newsom stabbed us in the back www.wsj.com/business/med...

Over the weekend I was on a panel about AI in books and I said that publishers have always been so careful about fair use -- you can use maybe a line or two from a song but never any more -- and then the tech bros were like, we are entitled to all books. They belong to us now. Fuck you.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.

As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

That's Congress's job. Congress is mostly Republicans right now. There is nothing they live more than not doing their job. I have never seen anyone who hates doing an honest day's work more than a House Republican.

legalizing gambling was the single biggest social disaster of the last decade, and that's a high bar to clear.
