They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

So Trump has decided he can label everything he wants as a national security necessity: his ballroom, his arch, his banning of journalists and a free press. Don't doubt that he will try to undermine or even stop midterm voting as a national security risk. Note: It's all a lie.

It's that moment you are caught by surprise, like getting an email from a fan, or a parent at basketball training asking when the next book is out, and you find yourself suddenly excited and distracted! I missed that. So glad I've found my way back to #writing again, and that my muse has returned.

To stop disinformation, put it in a soundproofed room and deprive it of the oxygen it needs. Trusted media outlets are allowing disinformation to spread. If a political party is spending thousands of pounds on spreading disinformation, those media outlets should stop it. #BBChaveyoursay

Someone's just broken into your home, stolen the best of you, then trains someone else with those talents, and uses it to attack other countries. And we're okay with that? Only in a world like this would that be acceptable. #AI #AIoutofcontrol

Through the end of August 2026, the House was in session for roughly 383 hours total. That’s an average of about 48 hours per month. Their average monthly floor time is well below the 80-hour monthly threshold the same Congress imposed on Medicaid recipients.

As Ben Delo's record £36m Reform donation is headline news, I can't emphasise enough that the media ought to be reporting on Delo's heinous funding of antisemitic conspiracy theorists in the High Court – anonymous contributors to the horrifying neo-Nazi account shown below. bsky.app/profile/luke...

A sample of neo-Nazi posts by the @ParallaxOptics account, displaying grotesque antisemitic caricatures and violent Jew hate.

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.” This is who owns Farage now

Revisiting your childhood home is like visiting a museum of your life, or poring over a barnacle-encrusted anchor. As a writer, you appreciate the stories you made there, amongst the imperfections of growing up. Today, that anchor is the imperfect Holmes Chapel, but perfect in many other memories. ❤️
