You know, I was really into the show and still think the concept and execution are terrific, but at this point, after waiting all this time, I honestly don’t think I care if we ever get another season of Severance or not.

I see you, friend who makes confident predications about big things that never pan out, over there making another confident prediction about another big thing. I see you.

Do good reviews and high ratings sell books? Probably! If you read and enjoyed THE SHITBIRD, please take a moment to rate and/ or review it at Amazon, Goodreads, or elsewhere. It won’t take long, and it does help with visibility. Thank you so much! 🙏

i should clarify, when i write people doing bad things, it's because i am bad. they are me. more importantly, when you read about those bad things, they also become you. that's how story works. in fact, you are going to think about murder before this skeet ends. how's that feel, sicko.

Claude appears to be engaging in academic dishonesty, which could be fireable for a human researcher. But one of AI’s major functions is ethics displacement, a shield that allows cheaters and other bad players to escape accountability.

I hate to say it, but if in 2026 you’re actively feeding data into any of these profoundly anti-human software products built by fraudsters and liars, it’s hard for me to feel sorry for you.

Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Stop using AI and use public services! They want to make every single part of our life pay-to-play while stealing from the commons. Everything that sucks now is a consequence of what they have already stolen: public funding, public services, public regulations, public research, public education.

One reason why the National Book Awards didn’t have a lot of nonwhite nominees in the mid century was because immigration law kept out most nonwhite people until 1965, and Black people were under segregation. What we see now is at least partly the result of greater competition.
