John Shirley's guide to wrecking your career in science fiction John Shirley tells all: feuds, drugs, punk rock, and the road from Harlan Ellison's wrath to redemption.

Once more for this because I wish I'd mentioned my newest novels, Gunmetal Mountain (won the Spur Award), Blood in Sweet River, The Silver Revolver.

if you can't handle me at my "my sisters and i have a right to be upset at our systematic extermination," then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my "secretly jack off to my media tab while your spouse is in the other room"

That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.

Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."

What's scary about this story is the surveillance it hints at. This trans woman had changed her name, legally, but chose not to change her gender marker. She was apparently flagged in the DMV system as trans and her license was invalidated under a law that supposedly only concerned gender markers.

History will remember Will Stancil as a giant who recognised the moment America was living through, and rose up to challenge it, and history will not remember a single LARPing American Communist at all. They won't even be a footnote in the story.

Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address Amazon is allowing gift senders to choose items from third-party sellers, which could open recipients up to new privacy risks.

A planned change to Amazon means that if people buy items on your wishlist, it could expose your address. Definitely a threat to people who have public wishlists.

Blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol dies in Buffalo. A nearly blind refugee abandoned by Border Patrol miles from his home dies in Buffalo after having been missing for nearly a week.

"Nurul Amin Shah Alam, a nearly blind refugee from Burma who Border Patrol agents dropped off at a doughnut shop Thursday and left to find his way home, 5 miles away, has been found dead."

To read the words is to damn all involved, from Trump on down.

I think about this Hunter Thompson quote a lot these days, "The world is not mad, as I thought, but sane in the cheapest kind of way."

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide.

This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

I think the gutting of USAID is probably the worst American-caused tragedy since the invasion of Iraq. Obviously the death toll will be much higher. I just can’t get over it. They were celebrating the gutting of one of the most efficient life-saving organizations like they had won the Super Bowl.

“We will launch during a dynamic political environment where many civil society groups that we would expect to attack us would have their resources focused on other concerns,” according to the document from Meta’s Reality Labs, which works on hardware including smart glasses.

At least one Meta employee thinks it's a good time to add facial recognition technology to glasses because we're too distracted by fascism to effectively protest www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Simply evil. And also an effective way to radicize a generation to hate the United States. White nationalists are manufacturing the problems they claim to solve

Ian McKellen performs speech about immigrants by Shakespeare from Thomas More (23/4/2016) YouTube video by TFotF

This is great. Turns out Shakespeare wrote some material in collaboration with another playwright for "Thomas Moore" and here's a speech Billy S wrote, performed by Ian "Gandalf" Mckellen, who's in fact a great Shakespearean actor - and it's Shakespeare taking down anti-immigrant lunacy. Brilliant!

I'd like to add that like in all industries, when we stop understanding how our tools work, we become entirely dependent on the corporate entities that own the mold. We are trading the ability to build and repair for the convenience of being permanent tenants in someone else's infrastructure/subs.

I wanna personally congratulate Hunter Biden for not only being nowhere near the Epstein files but for having rock-solid reviews from sex workers for respectfulness and tipping

Unfriendly reminder, AI is being used to destroy trust. Do not normalize the use of AI. AI can not reliably enhance videos or low-quality images.

This is the quiet replacement of reality. Do not let this be normalized.

I think everyone should know how to do this and have the information #frayayoupage

"The best summary of Trump’s trade 'philosophy' comes from Trashfuture’s November Kelly, who said that Trump is flipping over the table in a poker game that’s rigged in his favor because he resents having to pretend to play the game at all." -- Cory Doctorow
