I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

As always, Satan could never do anything worse than what humans already do to each other. Satan's just an implementer of what we've already innovated. He gives us what we've thought in our hearts for others.

For a bunch of different reasons, I think I need to hire someone to doom-scroll for me.

Hi! I'm Delilah S. Dawson & Lila Bowen. I'm a NYT-bestselling author of over 30 books and dozens of comics for adults, YA, and middle grade. I love Star Wars, weird taxidermy, Olympic lifting, and gluten free baking. I will answer any non-googleable question about writing, publishing, or my work.

My laptop has done an update, and now Word is forcing Copilot on me, and I am livid. I want it to go away. It's not enabled, but I have to see the icon hovering on the side of the page, begging to be used. The tips and tricks for removing Copilot aren't working. @microsoft.com, this is TRASH.

It's like being in the passenger seat of a car sliding on black ice toward a bridge abutment, while the driver snorts another bump of ketamine and the people in the back won't stop singing "Deutschland über alles."

Sci-fi is the sandbox of our future. Every story is a blueprint, a warning, or a dream waiting to take flight. Keep writing, keep wondering, and never stop reaching for the stars. 🚀✨ #SciFi #WritingCommunity"

Yup. It fucking hurt like hell the first time I owned up and apologized for a big mistake. So much of my ego was wrapped up in being right, rather than doing the right thing. I still make mistakes (we all do). It's easier for me to own up to them now, and to try to mitigate and learn from them.

Dang! I was going to make an omelette this morning, but I couldn’t remember the combination to the safe, so I had to settle for caviar.

In deep space the speed of light solves a lot of instant communication problems if you want it to, otherwise you can always have a proton storm mess with your communications, or have a direct hit on your communications array or whatever

Referring to a Nazi salute as a "controversial gesture" is morally the same as referring to the Final Solution as a "controversial policy."

Yeah, I would argue with video games, "good" AI isn't a bot/system that is impossible to beat, it's one the scales difficulty based on player ability. I want to barely make it across a map to the safe house that lets me stock up on everything before heading out again.

Not seen the TV yet but just finished Mick Herron's Slow Horses, based on a long-ago recommendation by @rjbarker.bsky.social . Spy fic is not my usual fare but this is an absolute masterpiece, exquisitely written. Also superb audio narration by Sean Barrett.

You know what you don't see? Kung fu masters in professional sports. I mean, outside of actual kung fu that is. I suspect I've been lied to by movies and television.

I am turning into a old man shaking his fist at the clouds, but I am happy that, aside from, you know, FASCISM, the things I'm grumpy about are relatively inconsequential, like sub-standard bot AI in video games and "relic-ed" guitars and using the phrase "centered around" instead of "centered on"

I have been pingponging between different NHS departments desperately trying to get my son's ongoing prescription sorted and honestly it's like having a third full time job. He's a child! Advcocating for my kid shouldn't take hours and hours of emails and phone calls and desperate pleading. Gahh
