Everything he touches goes to shit. Even a bribe jet from his buddies in Qatar.

We're at the point where we're stealing oil to make up for horrible leadership.

Habitually employing unauthorized workers can bring personal prison time. A pattern of illegal hiring carries up to 6 months in prison under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(f). Knowingly harboring/transporting for commercial gain, 8 U.S.C. § 1324 — 10-year felony.

Another example of how the rich get richer—at our expense. #VoteBlue

Democratic leadership would rather run a minority government than watch a Democratic majority government from the sidelines. #VoteBlue #DSA

Iran now sounds like the adults in the room. What an embarassment. (An embarrassment costing Americans hundreds of billions a year). #VoteBlue

Funny meme. But, in fact, Google's Gemini correctly recognizes them all. #AI

The are doing to Trump what they did to Carter. Hey, Washington! Two quick wins for lowering energy prices. Impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Who wants to be an American hero?

Real alpha male move. #VoteBlue

I had a discussion with Gemini just how. Bottom line: We live in a de facto dictatorship. (Full discussion in comments) #Democracy #VoteBlue #ExpandSCOTUS

Recently back on BSKY. Last time, the MAGA trolls were still trying. Haven't seen any. Did they give up, or is the algorithm just better? #VoteBlue

Huh. Wonder why Elon's claiming he's gonna do some insane stuff.

They could vote to impeach him tomorrow.

This is why they keep throwing out ever more obviously stupid ideas.

In 1968, Star Trek predicted the US government in 2026.

Interstellar comet 3I/Atlas looks like the alien spaceship in my sci-fi novels.

Compare to when I don't ask it to re-create MY ship, but rather give it free reign with a general prompt: "Create a spaceship in orbit around Jupiter of alien origin that's a hybrid between organic and regular technology." In this case, it's "borrowing" other people's ideas & creativity.

I hired a 3D artist to create the model used in this cover. Just for fun*, I wanted to see what Chat GPT's image gen can do. AI has quite a way to go... * I don't use AI in my creative work. But I do write about AI, so keeping up with the tech.

I'm moving my books to wide publication. Google Play seems to be going smoothly so far (waiting for my first uploaded book to process), but I've been getting this for 24 hours trying to upload a book to Apple Books. Is it just me? Are they down?
