How even...

YES!

Not to toot my own horn, but I wrote about this recently:

Banning the Book Bans | American Libraries Magazine Advocacy efforts are stemming the tide of censorship attempts in libraries, with more states enacting anti-book-ban laws.

During the current extraordinary surge of book-banning efforts, committed advocacy by library ­workers & their allies is stemming the tide of censorship attempts in both school & public libraries, with more & more states enacting anti-book-ban laws.

An important reminder that GenAI is NOT intelligent!

How much do these fascist arseholes make... Wait, I probably don't want to know.

Eat the rich.

Many movie scores. Good luck!

Yeah, a good thing the author got justice but I can only assume no lessons were learned by the school's principal.

Systems are crumbling - but daily life continues. The dissonance is real If everything feels broken but strangely normal, the Soviet-era concept of hypernormalization can help

A surprisingly good article in the US Guardian about hypernormalisation.

Taking a break from screaming about book bans to do *checks notes* self promotion?

The Siren the Song and The Spy is out in audio today, w a quintet of narrators! It's the sequel to The Mermaid the Witch and the Sea, & I fear it is more relevant now than when I wrote it.

For my MG fantasy novel, currently the chapters are fairly short at around 1500k each. This is only the second draft though, so things may change as I develop more details...

Famine is looming in Gaza. Children and families are starving while the food they need is sitting at the border.

#Gaza Aid now.

Very Hunger Games.

Me, waiting to hear if I got the job I interviewed for last week. I haven't been able to do anything productive since.

Your Name as A Character in Next Patrick Ness Book Auction item 'Your Name as A Character in Next Patrick Ness Book' hosted online at 32auctions.

Anyway, to raise money for trans charities, I’m auctioning off having your name as a character in the new Chaos Walking book. It’s gotten quite high, but if you can, it’s for a great cause. And check out all the other amazing things to bid on.

Three frames. A map of Gaza in each, showing damage in red from bombardments. A hand with suit sleeve holding a sponge, across the three frames, progressively wipes the map, which by the third frame is “clean” - but the sponge held in the hand is dripping red. Quote at bottom of frame: “Prime Minister Netanyahu said on Monday that cabinet ministers had decided on a ‘powerful operation in Gaza’ including ‘a movement of the population to protect it’.’”

Cleansed.

Looks great!

Imagine this being your life? I'm not about to say my life is incredible but at least I don't spend ANY if it obsessing about who is using which public toilets.

All this. You have to ask *why are they selling it so hard*? What is up with all the propaganda around AI? The reason is not because it is the inevitable shape of the future; the reason is because it sucks, it's failed to achieve widespread utility, but they need to recoup billions in investments.

Good luck with that, I guess. I wouldn't go to the US now if I was offered a truckload of money to do so.
