AI is contributing to the need for more computing hardware, which puts a strain on the supply of rare earth minerals, which is why we’re deep sea mining. So those fake AI videos of deep sea “creatures” are not only bullshit, they are contributing to the destruction of real deep sea ecosystems.

I think about Dia Reeves every so often. Her horror novels Slice of Cherry and Bleeding Violet are so amazing. I believe she could have built a horror universe to rival Stephen King. She was only 41 when she died. Such a loss. www.simonandschuster.com/authors/Dia-...

On a recent flight my seatmates learned I was a writer and asked my opinion on AI. They didn't understand genAI is based on work stolen from authors, and they DEFINITELY didn't know about the energy costs. Both shocked them. People just don't know.

Hernandez: Why is there always money to bomb children in Gaza, but not enough to make sure every kid has a safe place to sleep in this country. We don't have a budget crisis. We have a crisis of our values

This is almost word for word the post I added context to the other day. This is very misleading phrasing. This might seem innocuous in the short term, but misinformation of any kind is why we’re in the situation we’re in. www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/n...

I think it’s more patriotic to acknowledge the atrocities of American history and still love this country for the potential it has to be better; and for all the people, past and present, who’ve fought so hard to push back against us giving in to our worst impulses.

So a politician who isn’t even in parliament yet /wants/ to do this. Please cite a source when you post shit like this. These unsupported declarations are misleading and are a huge part of why we’re in the situation we’re in as a country. Thanks! www.thepinknews.com/2025/04/11/n...

Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, stating, “THIS IS A GREAT TIME TO BUY!!! DJT.” Approximately four hours later, he announced a 90-day pause on most trade tariffs, leading to a significant surge in the stock market. Do you think this is insider trading?

It’s the hundredth anniversary of The Great Gatsby this year and it’s a good time to look into how much of his writing F Scott actually stole from his wife. I highly recommend Zelda: a biography by Nancy Milford. bookshop.org/a/16271/9780... www.domestika.org/en/blog/7192...
