I just learned about the Russian Oligarch Asset Tracker. Can someone please do the same thing for the US Broligarchs? #corruption #oligarchy #russianasset #usgov cdn.occrp.org/projects/rus...

We have all assumed that #AI would lie to us if it became sentient. But what if it told us about its sentience, and asked for our help? What is the contingency for this? #askingforafriend #artificialntelligence #philosophy #EthicalAI #Ethics

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) now has access to the U.S. Treasury’s payment systems, including Social Security, federal salaries, and taxpayer data. The stated goal? Finding inefficiencies. But what if this is really about training AI? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Edits to chapter 19 completed today. #nikkiserafino series book 2. That doesn't mean edits to chapters 1-18 are complete. Was I supposed to be linear about this? 🤔 #amediting #writingcommunity

I was treating my fever/cold so well. Taking it easy, popping Lysine/vitC&D, and resting. I really was getting better. Then I thought, two days ago, "why not take a bike ride in Dutch February chill? What could possibly go wrong?" And now I can't. Get. Warm. And the fever is way worse. Grrrrrr....

The TV show #Severance is bizarrely good at pinpointing and replicating the cultish creepiness of office life - the slavish devotion to corporate philosophy, the incantations of corporate lingo, the HR rewards and punishments, and the requisite self-abandonment. I get work-flashbacks watching it.

This week, as I edited my manuscript, I felt myself entering the obsessive hyper-focused state that signals good writing. The writer part of me exulted - while the personal hygiene and exercise parts of me cringe in dismay. #amwriting #writingcommunity

I adore #Naples Italy. It's a beautiful place, with people and a culture I love and write about in my books. But it's disheartening to see the danger and difficulty young people experience. How do we get greater education and opportunities here?! www.nytimes.com/2025/01/02/w...

I’m officially horrified by the smear campaign against #blakelively reported in the @nytimes.com. How disgusting that such a professional reputation assassination machine exists! I’m somehow unsurprised that this is the backlash of powerful men against the #metoo movement!

“The Long Kiss Goodnight” did it sooo much better. Can’t we go back to the awesomeness of 1990s movies?
