Someone warned me in 2023 that, owing to my posts on Palestine, my book career was over, (but I could fix it w/loud repentance). Predictably, I told him to fuck off. Well, this Sunday,The Black Swan, after 18 years, is back on NYT Bestseller List. Never compromise.

But seriously, the Speaker of the House handing his gavel to the President of the United States has the founding fathers rolling over in their graves. I can’t imagine worse symbolism by Mike Johnson, but he doesn’t care. He’s just a stooge.

There’s a growing sector of jobs that should not need to exist: fixing errors made by AI, redoing shoddy work by AI, and correcting mistakes by people who used AI stupidly. In other words, it’s people doing the work but now with extra steps.

If you’re baffled as to why they’re murdering health workers in Gaza, it’s because they are the people who will testify in court as to what has been done. They are killing the witnesses. Yes, it’s that cynical. For every hasbara reply I’ll post 10. Keep ‘em comin’!

Every day I ask my daughter what she did at school and the answer is always, “Just the usual”. Received her end of year report and there’s a photo of her in a full beekeeper’s outfit surrounded by bees holding a shitload of honey.

Honestly we need to normalize telling people that your degree in a field does, in fact, make you an authority on the subject and I actually don’t have to respect the opinion of a random person with access to google!

a common progressive fantasy is that once conservatives see the consequences of climate change, they will have some sort of come to jesus moment - but it was always pretty obv to ppl paying attention that they were just gonna blame it on Deep State Flooding Tech and learn nothing
