In case anyone hasn’t yet seen the letter from Senator Tom Tillis of N. Carolina to a U.S. constituent who expressed concern about the language re: Canada as a 51st state, read this. This is how they’re talking about our sovereign nation. Mention of “territory.” NO statehood. 🇨🇦

Sometimes, I wonder what it would take to turn them against him. Then I remember there were people dying from covid who cried out as they died that they didn’t have covid and it was a hoax. And I remember that it’s not about making them listen—it’s about DOING something.

Speaking as a dystopian author and a human: We’re not living in a dystopian novel, my friends. We’re living in the prequel. The flashback era where people storm the Capitol to protest a legitimate election and refuse to storm it to protest an actual coup.

It’s no coincidence that the book I just released takes place in a land where most people can’t afford food and the govt distracts them with public murd3rs of their common “enemy” and the book I’m releasing next takes place in a land where girls and women are traded and treated like pets 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you’re entering 2025 with the hopes of ruining your business in an expedient manner, use generative AI instead of humans to do human work. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Have we not learned by now that absorbing every horrible impulse and lack of filter displayed on social media means AI is, at its core, horrible?

How to tell if someone uses AI in their posts, a two-part guide: • frequent use of words like “crumpet,” “sesquicentennial” and “gooberdashery” • the pfp looks like a rubbery puppet ripped from the minds of a million long-dead spider monkeys
