A Game of Thrones first published 30 years ago this month. That's a lot to unpack... #GameofThrones

Guess I will spend even more time here. Got booted from Threads without warning, with only an automated message that explained nothing: "Our technology found your account, or activity on it, doesn’t follow our rules. As a result, our technology took action." My guess is it was because of a meme.

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

At home recharging this weekend due to fatigue and sleep issues. Using my time to write, keep my creative energy going. They want you to depend on AI, trick you into thinking everything comes from the plagiarism algorithms. Express yourself. You can't be replicated.

Since it was my birthday a couple days ago, let's get re-acquainted. Hi there. I'm a tech journalist (editor, writer, photographer) from NJ, but my posts here are personal. I am progressive when it comes to politics and social support. My reposts and likes will reflect that.

They should build loads of data centers all over the place that contain huge quantities of books that people can borrow for free if they fill out a form to get a data center card and promise to return the books on time and don’t make too much noise in the data center.

Stephen Colbert says he was told by CBS lawyers "in no uncertain terms" that he could not have Texas State Rep. James Talarico on his program. "Because my network clearly doesn't want us to talk about this, let's talk about this."

Powerful white men once equated Black people with monkeys to justify their abduction, deportation, enslavement, lynching and segregation. The heinous image that Trump shared is explicit racism. There is no nowhere for his supporters to hide. Supporting him is incompatible with basic human decency.

We've seen some blatantly racist messages and memes from the current regime, which is not a surprise. In fact, it is on brand, despite the attempted gaslighting. Don't let people who voted for this clutch their pearls and act surprised. We're done playing that game.
