What's weird about this is I'm pretty sure she has real photos. Is she doing the boomer thing of offloading her nostalgia to the robots? I'm pretty sure I've seen real photos of her chip shop.

The difference between AI and social media is that one was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks, and the other was created by men who decline any responsibility for the damage it wreaks. Hope that’s cleared it up.

'In a world less similar to our own than it first appears '... That's been the tagline for my book for years, but I've never worked out how to finish the sentence in less than five hundred words. As I need 50, that's a problem.

I really hope the suicideation from finishing a book and confronting what comes next is normal. I mean, I guess it being normal would also suck. I have no idea. I feel sick and tired and anxious. Maybe I should just destroy it all.

And the economy of reading is apparently terrible, and publishers aren't buying, and this requires self-promotion, the one thing I hate more than anything.

I am 99.95% finished with this book, and I've reached the point where I think it's rubbish and am actively contemplating suicide. Is that normal? I hope that's normal, I don't need more things wrong with me. Anyway, 99.95% finished. Hurray!

No! The French can't beat us! My fellow Australians, we must ban social media for the under 14s. No, it won't work, but that's not the point. It wasn't the point of banning it for under-16s, after all. If the goal was making it work, there are so many other ways we could have done it. #auspol

I'm trying to read Honourbound, which is supposed to be everything I love in a science fiction book. But it's in present tense and for some reason that's nails on a chalkboard for me. I've never felt like this about a book before. I've also never seen it before, though

Of course he did, he's a horrible person who holds power only because Israel has what might be the worst electoral system in the world. Basic competence was never on his list, he ran on his brother's memory, hatred, and supply deals. Who's surprised? Stop being surprised.

Of course you're not, Barnaby. The similarities are limited to the company you keep. He also hung out with people generally considered bad for society (Zealots), liars (Paul), moneymen who turn on their friends out of innate conservatism (Judas), and whores (Magdalene).

In Canavan's defence, the Australian right has decided to join Americans in protecting misinformation at all costs. He's just being consistent in defence of American social media companies that should be banned.
