And why the hell not. My #chapter titles for a finished MS from the final draft edited in Scrivener.

(Once a draft is done, I compile and convert the MS to Word for submitting.)

Film discourse on BlueSky:

Here's my Letterboxd review of four films in the Criterion set of new Iranian cinema. Fascinating to see how the influence of mid-period Satyajit Ray pervades such generically different films.

Film discourse on X:

Ukraine Reaches a Milestone: Making ‘China-Free’ Drones

This is a very good approach.
(And I say approach, rather than outcome, because the headline goes a bit far. But still: well done Ukraine!!)

No one wants to "turn kids trans." That's not a thing.

We just want to see trans kids turn into adults.

An open letter to Grammarly and other plagiarists, thieves and slop merchants To everyone at Grammarly, I am writing a book right now, a really challenging endeavor that no doubt someone in Silicon Valley will think it’s fine to steal the day it’s published. I’ve been a profes...

I finally lost my shit about so-called AIs, LLMs, enshittification & everything fucking evil that @officialgrammarly.bsky.social is doing. I'm fucking furious, and not just about what 1 company has done. An open letter to Grammarly & the rest of the LLM hype machine www.moryan.com/an-open-lett...

Today, I sat down with President Zelensky

Last year, Trump told him he had no cards & to say thank you. Now, the US just asked Ukraine for help. The tables have turned.

I missed this - it's outrageous. If you make a sports video game and you want to put real players in it, you have to licence them. I don't see how this is in any way different. If they want to use real people in their product, they should have to get permission and pay them.

Iran's political prisoners face 'mortal danger' in shadow of war | The National Inmates moved to military facilities may be killed by US or Israeli strikes, rights groups warn

Lizzie Porter is doing incredible work covering Iran’s notorious prisons

Iran’s political prisoners are being moved to unknown locations near military facilities where they are at greater risk of US/Israeli airstrikes & food & water supplies have dwindled

Their rationale was irrational...

After work, I had to DoorDash to pay for our motel room. I brought my toddler with me to avoid childcare costs. A South Carolina mom lived in a $60-a-night motel and took her toddler on DoorDash runs to make ends meet. She can afford a mobile home now.

From one perspective, this is a story about grit and determination.

From another, it's a damning portrait of a country where someone working full-time at $11/hour lives in a $60-a-night motel with her toddler—then spends evenings DoorDashing with her kid because affordable childcare is nonexistent.

I recently finished reading "When the Harvest Comes" by @thedennemichele.bsky.social and, wow, what a beautiful, difficult, and uplifting work. So many tears, and so much love in all its messiness.

I think if I were to send the head of legal at Grammarly a note that said I broke into his house and took his wallet, but in future, he could opt out of me stealing his wallet, that would go great and they would be fine with that 👍🏻

Boom! Had a great ight show over the skyline tonight. Here’s my first big lightning shot of the season.

This is a 2-frame composite. Best as I can tell, two large, branching bolts struck the eastern antenna mast of the Hancock. #wxsky #ilwx

Jesus Christ I'm going to have to stock up on year's worth of food ASAP at this rate.

CA is a HUGE part of America's food industry. I know; I live here and have driven past those massive fields full of produce.

If anyone affected by this wants to find out what their legal recourse may be, I know some good class action lawyers.

Volcanos do still erupt on the islands of Hawai'i and they can put on a bit of a show when they do...

Fuck Crypto. Can't wait to watch this.

Everyone should suffer who made their bed with Epstein the rapist.

“Representative Rosa DeLauro has a bill to FULLY fund the following but Mike Johnson is BLOCKING her bill from the floor until they fund ICE and CBP too: 1. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) including the Disaster Relief Fund; 2. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA); 3. U.S. Coast Guard; 4. Transportation SEcurity Administration (TSA); 5. U.S. Secret Service; 6. Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC); 7. Science & Technology Directorate (S&T); 8. Office of Inspector General (OIG); 9. Federal Protective Service.”

“The majority of Americans want reforms in the way ICE and CBP have been operating. The reforms the Democrats are holding out for include: No deportation or detention of U.S. Citizens; Prohibit operations at sensitive locations like schools, houses of worship and polling places; Require agents to get a warrant from a judge before kicking in someone's door; No masks; Clear identifying information on uniforms; End racial profiling; Establish use of force policy in law; Allow independent investigations into misconduct; Mandate use of body-worn cameras.”

House GOP & Trump are responsible for the chaos unfolding at America’s airports.

Dems have a bill to fully fund everything (black slide) but ICE & CBP until reforms (blue slide) are agreed upon.

Johnson is blocking the bill. Trump won’t sign anything until the SAVE Act is passed. Pass it on.

Just saying the quiet part out loud.

If this is your insurance company, I suggest it’s time to switch. If he only cares about money, hit him where it hurts.

Yes, we know; we are the internet.

Tonight, in MTG's replacement election in Georgia, Shawn Harris, a democrat, garnered the most votes. Heading to a runoff election against Clay Fuller, a Republican. This is going to be a fascinating and nail biting election.
