Yeah, thanks. Mine were too. Its just Squarespace lets me see the incoming IPs and it's really *really* obvious. On top of "no one in China knows who the hell I am!" hah.

I am reasonably sure 😅

Before I locked my site, it was a solid week of incremental IP hits methodically visiting every page on my site. Even the TOS and Privacy policy pages. Over and over.
When I unlocked, it picked up right where it left off.

Goddamn Tesla shareholders are some gullible, *dumb* motherfuckers.

But I repeat myself.

And no. I will not be nice or polite about it. If you use ai, even to show how stupid ai is, you deserve to have bad things happen to you.

Locked my website for 2 weeks and as soon as I unlocked it that scraper in china started scraping again.

Fuck ai and fuck you if you use ai.

Literal shit posting. Apologies!

I dearly love* those moments when you are stuck in traffic some 10 min from home and your colon announces “poop commencing in 10…9…8…”

Photo of NBC’s exit poll data (from my work laptop, lol) showing Mamdani splitting the straight vote equally with Cuomo, but taking the LGBTQ+ vote by more than 5:1. Even though the LGBTQ+ slice is only 14% of the population, they were a LANDSLIDE in his favor.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

More like "Ross? Doubt that." Amirite?

I think the only thing I truly miss about the loss of twitter is losing the ability to bitch out a brand in public.
Like @FeEx, who is entirely unable to do the one thing they do, which is ship a fucking package.

They’re so bad at making objectively good things seem bad.

She appears cool A. F.

This is deeply disheartening to read and also appreciated as it saved me the effort of buying 👍🤘

GOD'S JUNK DRAWER is Strand Bookstore's sci-fi pick of the month, and I happen to know a little over a hundred of them are signed.

Ok I am having a devil of a time getting book 4 rolling.
It’s not writer’s block so much as it’s having the weight of (waves hand at world) everything to fight through before I can concentrate.

I DEARLY want to release B4 this summer so I will keep fighting.

Hello darkness my old friend

If you want or need SNAP benefits, literally the only barrier should be...signing up.

"But what about fraud?" My sibling in red, white, and blue, THE PENTAGON HASN'T PASSED AN AUDIT IN YEARS AND MONEY IS FAKE. I don't care if too many people have food assistance.

I am gratified you knew EXACTLY what I was talking about.

Saddened. But gratified.

Oh my god does he think Lincoln was made out of marble because he saw the memorial?

It's Halloween

What, again?!

DEAD HAND RULE is out today! As an implacable enemy skitters nearer across the stars, Tara Abernathy gathers Gods and Deathless Kings alike to join forces. Of course, there's still a little fine print to be sorted out. But surely they'll be able to come together against the darkness. Any minute now.

I’m a taro guy. Love the understated not-quite-sweetness of it.
