I booked tickets for a concert - I'm very excited. Then I discover it's an all-standing venue - that'll take some training 😆

I am angry. I am angry at Silicon Valley. I am angry at these useless, rich, prats who have fundamentally poisoned the information supply. These spoiled little bastards ruined the best research tool ever devised, but not content with that, they're ruining the reliability of research itself.

It seems there is no right to any kind of privacy anymore. Corporations collect and share our information with monstrous AI companies, and the Government contracts with these same companies. #AusPol

Hey Bluesky peeps, could you help spread the word? My Shirley Jackson Award-nominated gothic fiction book THE ATROCITIES is on sale today for $1.99 on Kindle and Bookshop. I have no idea how long this sale will last. www.amazon.com/Atrocities-J... bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
This is a photo of a paperback copy of The Atrocities by me (Jeremy C. Shipp). The cover features a creepy old manor house, storm clouds, and a hedge maze. The book is against a brick wall with vines growing around and over the book.

In 1815 the Viennese Congress declared Napoleon "a disturber of the tranquility of the world". Now we have at least three.

If the 'justice system' doesn't hold people accountable for their actions, other people will begin to do so. And vigilantism doesn't work for anyone.

Trump just asked a Japanese reporter, while sitting next to the Japanese Prime Minister in the Oval Office, “why didn’t you tell me about Pearl Harbour?” in response to a question about why the Trump Admin didn’t tell allies—like Japan—about the attack on Iran. What. The. Fuck.

If your 'deeply held views' are that feminism is demonic, witches melt when exposed to biblical teaching, and demonic realms have been opened by homosexuality, you are not a serious person.
