I really do think tech crossed a line at some point between "helping you do the things you want to do" on the one hand, and "helping you do the things tech wants you to do" on the other. At this point, we're all contorting ourselves to live how the tech industry thinks we should be living.

Guys, if you aren't already supporting the Internet Archive, please consider doing so. They are way more than just the Wayback Machine. They have a massive library of texts, audio, films, video games, and more media available. I'm downloading the 1933 OED right now as pdfs. It's insane.

I’ve long been a big fan of the short, magical stories that Hex Literary have been curating, and I’m thrilled to have a piece published with them today! “Sixty-One Seconds,” is a flash fiction piece about reality-hopping, violence, love, and all that can happen in a minute and one.

I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.

Oooh, boy, is DIGGER a missed opportunity. Desperate to be DR. STRANGELOVE but unable to make the satire sharp enough or funny enough. Simultaneously thinks it's smart and the audience is too dumb. Riz Ahmed and John Goodman strike it right. My review is live: thefilmmaven.com/digger-revie...

This is so important. They’ve broken the economic models that fund journalism is because they recognize the *purpose* of journalism threatens their bullshit-based valuations, ie, the sources of their wealth and power. Yet actual-existing journalists were instead crucial for creating their myths.

In the spirit of today's conversation re: calling out problem guys: At a comics event last night, an artist I'd only met once "confided" (brought up out of the blue) that he's drawing a new Warren Ellis comic. To artists thinking of doing that: Don't be such a fucking moron.

Another AI scam. Although underneath it is the fact that content farms - churning out vast quantities of cheap and quick content for ad clicks - are a viable business model. The ad networks don't care about the content they are being served next to. It's all money in the bank to them.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport
Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.
