Someone used AI to “create” five songs based on my Iron Druid characters, and damn it, NO. Stealing my characters and then using AI, which is made of more stolen work and is destroying the planet with its water, electricity usage, and greenhouse gas production, is not how you honor a Druid.

"[W]e cannot reform ourselves out of structural racism. The structure of white power that can rear its monstrous head in response to racial justice movements must be destroyed ... [A] new, more just and equal system must be built in its place."

For 134 years I’ve been telling you jabronis that Lizzie Borden used a hatchet, not an axe, for her weapon of choice. I don’t care what the poem says.

I don't think the moderation team is transphobic: I think an unusually high number of early adopters of Bluesky were trans and, as is common with early adopters, feel themselves to be somehow entitled to special treatment or to get to run the site, and so moderation tends to fall on them.

When I was writing my concentration camp book, one challenging aspect was that the most extreme aspects of what I was writing about were, in many ways, beyond metaphor. In fact, this kind of suffering *was* the metaphor others looked to emphasize the horror of some other kind of event. [1/3]

But coaches who got hired bc of it, like Rams OC Nate Scheelhaase, told me and Kris Rhim and Jason Reid that it "accelerated his development." The league says they didn't end the minority OA mandate- they just aren't funding it or requiring it anymore...

I’m already furious in advance about whatever stupid lie Republicans make up to justify this murder whether it’s “under the influence” or “armed with a curb” or “crazy look in their eyes.” The specific lie doesn’t matter but we all know it’s coming because they’re heartless cruel people.

The US government is now straight up posting nazi propaganda.
A retro-style poster shared by the U.S. Department of Labor. It shows a serious young man in a button-up work shirt, standing in front of a map of the United States with construction cranes in the background. The text reads: “Build your Homeland’s Future!” At the top, there’s a link: APRENTICESHIP.GOV.Another vintage-style poster from the U.S. Department of Labor. A young man in a short-sleeved collared shirt stands confidently in front of oil drilling and construction equipment under a bright blue sky. The bold text reads: “Power the Golden Age!” The same link, APRENTICESHIP.GOV, is displayed above.

It won't be just the LA Times and Washington Post. It will be your employer, your university, your school district, and your local elected officials. They will all cave and engage in anticipatory obedience to fascism because of their cowardice and greed. Your institutions will not save you.
