This week's steam schedule! Hope to see y'all there!

maybe we gave Charlie Kirk too much credit for being the brains behind the milk money from far right reactionaries business model, Erica ain't missed a beat for a second

People are actually gonna remember my book more than 15 minutes after they finish it, so I guess win is relative. 😂

This thread.
I ain’t scared, because no one else can write My books and if no other human can, a computer working off averages Certainly can’t.

Also, hey, it’s been a good month so far for sales so thanks to everyone who’s buying and reading 🫶💜🥰✨

There it is

I'm going to win.

Absolutely amazed that we live in an era when social media watchers are the first sign of the next big scandal.

Anyway, I’m thinking about a op-ed about how restoring the FCC‘s core functions and blocking scams is critical to restoring trust in democratic governance.

the magic of the Muppets is that there are two fourth walls. they constantly break the one that reminds the audience they are performers. they NEVER break the one that reminds the audience they are puppets. this dynamic is the key to their entire comedy style

We would be in a better place if everyone said "Oh come on!" about 50 years ago to all of this nonsense.

I swear half of news media sites see February as their opportunity to break romance authors and readers with their hot takes and sneering disdain.

Adding Gen AI dreck into the mix may make my head explode.

The damage RFK, Jr and Dr Oz are doing to the American healthcare system will be felt for decades

Neither of them should be allowed to gaslight us on national television

Ever

I've never had a KU subscription and I never plan to get one. This is one of the (many) reasons why. Because ewww!

But when it comes to her current pen names, Ms. Hart doesn’t disclose her use of A.I., because there’s still a strong stigma around the technology, she said. Coral Hart is one of her early, now retired pseudonyms, and it’s the name she uses to teach A.I.-assisted writing; she requested anonymity because she still uses her real name for some publishing and coaching projects. She fears that revealing her A.I. use would damage her business for that work.

In my opinion, that's fraud.

New Trump Administration order targets Texas park — what to know The signs are seemingly uncontroversial, reports say.

They're removing any informational signs from Big Bend National Park that are in Spanish & English or talk about cooperation with Mexico.

They want to ensure Spanish-speakers can't learn about nature at a national park on the US/Mexico border.

One originally conceived as a Peace Park with Mexico.

Okay, yes, she'll win that race.*

* It is a race to Hell.

"Set it on fire" levels of enraging.

most of all, fuck everybody who sees romance as a cash register rather than a genre worthy of respect. the booktok to AI slopfest pipeline has been the most grim, depressing downward spiral. it sucks.

The New Fabio Is Claude

fuck this lady, fuck the nyt reporter, fuck all of this. fuck amazon for introducing the KU page read model that makes this possible, fuck our tech overlords.

Picard management tip: Stirring up competition between crew members is the opposite of your job.

I miss the years when we didn't have to think about the President all day, every day (and be continually triggered, worried, angry, etc.). ... Why did people want to be in an abusive relationship again? We left! We didn't have to go back to this! We deserve so much better.

It is worth remembering that epidemics were often more deadly in wars than the weapons. Anne and Margot Frank died of typhus — a disease of over-crowding and malnutrition — in Bergen-Belsen.

History’s singing a cover tune. Just viral (harder to treat) & airborne, not bacterial & louse borne.

YouTube video by Epic Gardening 24 NEW Seeds We're Growing In 2024!

Cannot get over how these two dudebros got so into gardening that they bought a struggling 100-year-old seed company and have brought it back to whole.

Like, seventy different dick jokes in just this one video and they're all WE FUCKIN' LOVE US SOME FRESH VEG YO

I have always liked watching ski jumping and I particularly enjoy watching this opening round of women’s ski jumping because of how long the men at the ski jumping association insisted women couldn’t do it and blocked them for years.

Harry Pancake took over the Washington Post?

Reminds me of reading Ronan Farrow’s book about how his Weinstein reporting was being blocked at NBC by higher ups who ended up with their own #MeToo issues

When we say support independent media, we mean, “pls throw a few bucks to people who do not think an organized child abuse ring benefiting monsters & bootlickers should run the world, and report accordingly” 🔥👊🏻

So… just buy the inexpensive, flat bottom carbon steel wok for induction. It needs prompt, non-dishwasher cleaning, and should probably live in the oven, but it’ll make even meh stir fries taste good, it’s easier to work with than stainless steel, and you won’t have to worry about teflon et al.

This is so true. The curse of competence is talented folk don’t get much practice in learning to fail —gracefully or not — and almost never in small ways. So when we do fail, it’s huge and noisy and devastating.

The best favor you can do your kids is keeping them appropriately challenged.

Kansas Town Uses License Plate Readers to Go After Man Who Wrote Op-Ed | ACLU Targeting followed opinion piece critical of town’s police and anonymously posted anti-ICE fliers

A Kansas man wrote an op-ed criticizing local police for cooperating with ICE. Instead of respecting his First Amendment rights, the police used automatic license plate readers to track him in hopes of finding wrongdoing.

We must keep getting this easily-abused surveillance out of our communities.
