today at the World Metaphors Classic the leader of the USA didn't bother to find out the details of the situation his team was in and blindly assumed they would win a matchup they ended up losing, jeopardizing their long-term standing for no good reason

one thing you realize when you hear the doge bros talk is that they are very, very dumb. like need to be reminded to breathe. also most of them were working at spacex/tesla/twitter or in investment banking before this so, uh, what’s that say about all those places

If the Dems who win in the 2026 midterms get squeamish about prosecuting this administration, we'll need to elect a bunch of new people running on Nuremberg shit for 2028. This isn't a joke. It's the law. It's justice. Biden let Trump back in the WH and this happened because Joe didn't do his job

La Sirena’s Blessing of Belonging V.M.

I have a new short story out today!

"La Sirena's Blessing of Belonging" is about a girl making a wish to find where she belongs. It's a deeply personal piece about biracial identityβ€”and also a contemporary (slightly futuristic) magical realism story rather than secondary world!

I hope you enjoy ✨

Be deeply skeptical of any argument that blames average people instead of the systems that entrap them and the leaders who fail them.

The assholes in charge want us to blame each other so we don’t come after them. Don’t help them.

On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming processβ€”which LLMs mostly eliminate, imoβ€”is fundamental to doing *good* work.

Even if Marathon was awesome (it's fine) and even if it was the game for me (it's not) none of that would matter.

Between the art theft, shitty c-suite, and just my overall disappointment at the this game being the wrong genre, there's just an insurmountable ick for me with Marathon.

Hard pass.
