AI is taking over social media, from posts to YouTube videos. As a result, I am narrowing who I follow. While I doubt that many of those who I follow use AI, I believe that as AI slop takes over more of everyone’s feeds, the further corruption of information online overall is assured.

@karaswisher.bsky.social writes: “He’s so poor, all he has is money.” I think that sums up the TechBro oligarchs well. I will reflect on this as all of them demonstrate their values.

Hope Audible will still let @wilwheaton.net & @scalzi.com collaborate now that they're adopting >100 AI voices to narrate books. Perhaps they’ll flood their own market with audiobooks that wouldn’t otherwise get published? www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... Very glad I moved to @libro.fm in 2024.

not that i take fault in people pursuing realism in digital media, but as realism becomes more real & infallible (speaking globally: computer graphics, sampled instruments, voice synthesis, "intelligence"), it's the impressionistic and blatantly artificial that speaks more to me as an artist

Back from Fountain Bookstore in RVA, where I purchased On Freedom by @timothysnyder.bsky.social. Holding a small book reading about On Tyranny (currently NYT #1) in June & thought the new book would be additional good prep (in addition to being interesting on its own). And it’s indie bookstore day!

Counter-proposal: instead of wasting time arguing with people who begin by refusing to accept valid baseline points and by establishing themselves as the arbiter of what points will and will not be permitted, let's cancel student debt without seeking their permission or even involving them at all.

Yesterday, near my apartment. The little things in life often hold a great deal of wonder. Moments like these remind me of theory of endosymbiosis for chloroplasts. With this theory, the color green in plants becomes a testament to the idea that working together can create a hopeful future.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.

Trans rights and trans liberation now. Anyone with a heart or a soul is sick of this evil shit and how it's taken over the UK - not to mention it's the tip of the spear, as we've been warned by our trans siblings so many times. No forgiveness or pity for transphobes, in government or outside of it.
