Global capital, if there happens to be another financial crisis—one which the US is hurtling toward—what’s going to happen, I ask, if there is NO national treasury?

So Musk is probably going to loot the federal treasury. Great. This is so truly fucked.

the funding freeze was halted with just minutes to spare before it was due to go into effect. shudder to think what would’ve happened if the memo wasn’t leaked.

BREAKING: Attorneys General of CA, NY, AZ, CO, CT, DE, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MI, MN, NV, NC, NJ, NM, OR, RI, VT, WA, WI, and D.C. are suing Trump for his budget freeze. That 0 GOP AGs are joining, despite the fact that this freeze hurts their constituents the most, speaks to how MAGA is 100% a cult.

It's pretty interesting that the day we find out Microsoft is the tech company behind the licensing deal with HC for AI training we also find out Microsoft is launching their own publishing company. 😡

I think the lack of movement on environmental issues on all sides of the politics spectrum has greatly contributed to voter despondency and low turnout

For anyone thinking "AI" helps your work as a writer or artist: the fact is it's making you worse. A large study of "AI" out of U of Toronto, found that use of it in any way, whether getting it to do the work for you, or simply "assisting", actually DECREASES your creativity ability after the fact.

For any #amquerying writers out there. I found reading successful query letter templates VERY helpful. I would recommend paying attention to how different genres (fantasy vs. romance) structure their queries! #WritingCommunity www.ericsmithrocks.com/perfect-pitch

From @authorsguild.bsky.social: all fiction writers are covered by the suit to the extent that it turns out their works were used to train GPT. AG is collecting names of those affected but you can’t add names once the suit is filed. Please consider joining the Authors Guild.
