“America's two largest private prison companies, CoreCivic and GEO Group, are reporting a combined $1.4 billion in quarterly revenue over the spring as immigration detention closes in on record levels.” Trump’s brokers have made 29 trades of private prison stocks since he returned to office.

I laid out very clearly to a doctor that I'd been diagnosed with "chronic fatigue-like symptoms" from age 6, that I was working an objectively chill 3 day a week office job and was too exhausted to do *anything else* and rapidly deteriorating and she said "everyone's tired".

Amnesty's capitulation is unacceptable, because a human rights NGO is not simply a discount think tank (viz. a double discounted research university). It's part of its job description to specifically leverage its resources to stand its ground against actual and threatened SLAPPs from bad actors!

We still have a family parrot (he’s about 25 years old now) who loudly exclaims “need to go potty!” because he would prefer to be carried to a trash bin to do his business. He’s perfectly capable of flying. Sometimes he just wants to go on a little walk.

On Mastodon everyone is talking about how Doctorow has written a confused rant in which he defends AI. On here, everything is all praise for him critiquing AI, with no mention that he actually uses it anyway. Everything is so exhausting.

Blake felt exposed. “Everyone can see me,” he whispered, and Solo squeezed his shoulder as he guided him through the desks.
“Not for long,” Solo said. “Don’t worry about it. It’s not important.”
It’s important to me, Blake thought, but he couldn’t say it out loud. He was still shaking and tears were choking his throat closed.
They must have taken the elevator down, but Blake didn’t register it. He felt the temperature shift as Solo walked him through the scanners and out into the foyer. Then they were outside, in the parking lot.
“I’ll put the car in self-drive,” Solo said. “It’ll be quiet in there. I’ll tint the windows. No one will see.”
Blake nodded. He’d opened his eyes, but his vision was blurred by tears and he didn’t even want to focus on anything.
Solo led him over to the vehicle and guided him in, slipping beside him and pulling him into his arms.
“I won’t let them hurt you,” Solo said, fiercely. “I promise.”
“What if you can’t stop them?” Blake whispered.
“I’ll stop them,” Solo insisted.

Why would you assume this is slop? What silly nonsense. I have written literal guides on how to make book covers without 'AI' and articles on why 'AI' is bad. I've been a professional writer and editor for over 20 years. Why are you attacking indie authors instead of actual slop peddlers?
