I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News.

Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios.

It really does give me whiplash to contemplate how fast our society went from “the Internet isn’t the real world and isn’t that important” to “the Internet is the only real thing that is important.”

when people complain that a story has “too many digressions” I want to ask them whether perhaps the digressions ARE the story

Watching antisocial driver behavior in the school drop-off line makes it really clear that the pandemic destroyed whatever few shreds remained of the social compact, just pathological selfishness on display every day

A striking thing about articles I’ve read claiming to “study the effects” of generative AI on student writing skills and consumption of information is that (1) they nearly always find the effects are negative and (2) most “conclusions” are still written assuming that we must use AI, for some reason.

Listening to perhaps my most popular book, brought to life by the absolute perfect narrator, is so fucking surreal, man.

This is the President not only purporting to arrogate unto himself the ability to “take away free speech rights,” but also to do so for speech because it “aggravates and irritates.”

The bottom line is these people running our country are literally foreigners to the concept of democracy.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

I can't wait for The Nameless Land by Kate Elliott to show up, ditto The Red Winter by Cameron Sullivan early next year. I'm also psyched to read The Great Work by Sheldon Costa, The Tower of the Tyrant by J.T. Greathouse, and City of Others by Jared Poon. Plus Dead Hand Rule, naturally!

Absolutely made up.

Elon Musk said he was going to cut spending by $2 trillion dollars, but instead spending is higher this year than we thought it would be before Trump took office. Truly incredible stuff.

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

This is the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time. @aptshadow.bsky.social @abraham.bsky.social

After you tear through the Pact & Pattern trilogy, make sure to pre-order THE TOWER OF THE TYRANT, Greathouse's next epic! awfulagent.com/ebooks/tower...

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

if AI biz was started by $5 trillion stolen in armed robbery from a bank it wouldnt be allowed to continue on. but since it was made by robbing artists of $5t worth of value, its fine.

Republicans won’t come back to work because we can now force a vote on releasing the Epstein Files.

Meanwhile, folks' insurance is skyrocketing because they refuse to extend healthcare tax credits.

They’re putting Pedophiles before the American People.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

as a kid growing up right-wing i regularly heard people express their desire for "a government so small I can drown it in the bathtub". imagine my surprise growing up to realize i was the only one who actually believed that.

Thanks, New Yorker

Trump's team "are not trying to restore order; they’re trying to trigger the very unrest that would justify further crackdowns.... [creating] the illusion of disorder so they can tighten control and stay in power indefinitely." -- Barbara Walter ("How Civil Wars Start") via @tombedsall.bsky.social
