I talked to dozens of experts in government, academia, cybersecurity, and industry about exactly this scenario last year and not only did not one of them think I was being alarmist, many brought it up unprompted and many said there was zero chance it hadn’t already happened

Young authors writing older characters: 70 is not that old. Pls drop the nostalgia for Elvis & fear of smart phones. A 70-yo just left her corporate job a year ago & has been on the internet longer than you have. She isn’t afraid to drive on the freeway, she’s commuted for decades. πŸ™„

When I see someone slagging people reading Romance, I just assume it's misogyny.

Can it be for other reasons? Of course. Yet when I actually engage with the hater, it usually turns out to be the case.

The MLA, @acls1919.bsky.social, and @historians.org have filed a motion for summary judgment in our lawsuit to restore the NEH. Discovery documents reveal that DOGE rather than the acting chair led grant terminations and targeted grants using ChatGPT. More at mla.org/NEH-Lawsuit

😒 Creatives are no better at solidarity than the rest of the population. At least among Americans, β€œBut I want it” wins out over collective good too much of the time.

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

The takeaway from the success of Iron Lung isn't to fund YouTubers making sci-fi movies about games.

The secret is that Markiplier is a creative person who made something that excited him.

This is also the secret sauce behind Sinners.

There is no repeatable trend. Fund creative people. The end

yes actually i DO want to see more ex-MAGAs. and ex-Nazis. and ex-racists. and ex-queerphobes. and ex-transphobes.

i DO want to believe in the capacity for humans to change for the better.

nobody's required to forgive them, but i would LOVE to see more genuine redemption stories out there.

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle began to write #TheLostWorld in 1911. By that time he already was one of the most popular author around the globe, thanks to his most iconic creation, #SherlockHolmes.

And mega-corps will do it without a court order, if they’re just asked by fascists.

Any corporation is going to comply with the law.

The alt theme for #BirdOfTheDay is #finches and I happened to photograph a few yesterday during my attempts at bird photography. Still need to work on my settings in dark tree canopies.
