Senator Tuberville on x writing a response to the @endwokeness account Original tweet from @EndWokeness - “less than 25 years apart” Image 1 - the twin towers as they are hit by a the planes on 9/11/2001 Image 2 - Mayor Mamdani sitting on a prayer rug while hosting an Iftar at city hall Quote tweet from Senator Tuberville - “the enemy is inside the gates.”

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

Not at all a great start to this game. Mammoth gave up 3 in minutes and are still down 5 at the start of the 2nd.

Defense asleep at the wheel. Glad they pulled Ward.

Really enjoyed 'War Machine.' Won't be a rewatch or anything. The ending was really solid, but it's hollywood/netflix so I can see the "Milk it for what it's worth" thing leading to a sequel

Either way. Fun way to kill some time last night. Love that Reacher guy is always basically Reacher

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics. It’s the root of all evil in Washington.

I wish him luck and hope his turnaround is sincere. If it's not, I hope he goes down in flames.

I think this story is a really good example for people to look at when it comes to understanding bias at NYT. It's not that the reporter, Dana Rubinstein, says anything outright false. But the framing, word choices, etc., add up to an unprofessional and biased account.

Thousands of authors publish ‘empty’ book in protest over AI using their work About 10,000 writers including Kazuo Ishiguro, Philippa Gregory and Richard Osman join copyright campaign

Neat tactic.

Sad to see the UK gov't fucking over creators.

Over a purple background sits books 1 and 2 of the Grand human Empire series. Next to them are 5 yellow stars. At the bottom it reads. "This book kept my interest to the very end and I am a very picky and fickle reader. Now I'm off to read the second book in the series."

This person (Not my mom) was not concise, but I can't argue with the review!

So much I didn't know about Sally Ride.

Sketch for a bookcover with front, back and spine called out. The scene is the Ghost flying through a scifi cityscape

From sketch 1 on the last post, to here. It's amazing to see that rough and quick sketch become this!

The amount of energy new authors put into things that don't matter is… astounding sometimes.

Invest your time and energy in the things with the highest/best ROI.

4 cover idea sketches. - The ghost flying through a mass of skyscrapers - The Ghost rocketing up through said skyscrapers - The Ghost over the buildings, the sun shining behind it - The Ghost landed on a highrise in a vast sprawling cityscape.

So stoked to see the cover for 'Welcome, Please Leave' evolve.

This was step one. Ana sent 8 options. We talked about them and settled on one.

You'll see which one we agreed on next.
Available for pre-order starting monday!

A cartoon of Pete Kefsbreath shouts at American flag-draped coffins: “STOP TRYING TO EMBARASS THE PRESIDENT!”

Nicole's not feeling well so stayed home to watch the Mammoth/Black Bears game. Not mad at delicious Chinese delivery, but bet it's great at the Loud House tonight!

Mammoth up by 1! Let's Go Mammoth!

Huh! I totally forgot there was supposed to be a 'The Batman 2' with sparkly vampire guy under the cowl.

Hey look, "5318008. Oh and let me light that Newport Slim for you.

WWDC17 lapel pins. One is a rocket. The other is a fist with WWDC across the knuckles.

Any of my #apple #ios people want these old #WWDC pins?

I'll toss 'em in the mail if you're in the US.

We’ve been watching ‘Good Ship Murder’ and wow, major budget increase from season one to two.

Certainly a funny British murder of the weak show.

Had no idea! Following him. I don't dislike Griswold, but open to better options for sure.

It's sunny and warm(ish) 50f, but after yesterday's storm, the only things not covered with inches of snow are the concrete pathways so can't do any of my outdoors todo list things.

Created an 'AI Stans' list to drop well, idiot AI stans. Then thought. "Why would I do that? Just block them."

So that list is empty and I just blocked another "Don't worry your tech job is safe" idiot.

Title came in the mail. Car is officially paid off.

Would make an awesome patch!

An under-appreciated aspect of Star Trek is that all the characters keep diaries.

A 'Threshold' one of the goofiest Voyager episodes.

Turning off the light in the office and leaving the day job there until Monday. Ready for some writing and relaxing.

Maybe a glass of wine.

Cluely CEO Roy Lee admits to publicly lying about revenue numbers last year | TechCrunch The $7 million in annual recurring revenue that Cluely CEO Roy Lee shared last summer was a lie, its founder and CEO Roy Lee admitted on Thursday on X.

Who could possibly have predicted that a company whose slogan is "cheat on everything" would cheat?
