Amazon's changing the way the Kindle works on Tuesday, so if you want to download and de-DRM your books, you have until the 26th to get it done. I wrote a quick how-to, for anyone who is interested: next.content.town/p/kindle-drm...

Hey All: Google is pulling the "automatically on for anyone over 18" bullshit with Gemini that the Dropbox did for its AI, but I can't afford to ditch Google Drive/Docs/Workspace. If you have a personal Google Account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off...

I am not watching one single thing produced by or orchestrated by that administration. That's their propaganda. Why would I make it easy on them? Inviting everyone to join me on Jan 20th in doing one thing you love, and one thing they would hate. Joy & spite, y'all. Joy and spite.

A man in Indiana made an AT-AT costume for his horse, intending to only get a few pictures before removing it. When he took off the headpiece the horse got upset and insisted that he put it back on, which made the horse happy again. Now the horse isn't allowing him to remove any piece of the costume

When I complained to Theodore Sturgeon about trouble I was having with a scene, he looked at me and said, "I give you permission to do it wrong." Most liberating thing I ever heard.

Cy has written something beautiful and personal, and yet at the same time deeply relatable. Cy is a treasure, and so is MMO Junkie, and I'm glad to have both of them in my life.

I fought in the 2015 reddit wars to get male readers to see female writers as more than only romance and childrens authors, only to arrive on the doorstep of 2025 where female readers assume all female writers only write romance and send unhinged emails about no HEA in non-romance genre book 💀

Sometimes it's fascinating watching people react to new media and like, you can tell this was just NOT THEIR SHIT but they are flailing about finding inconsistent reasons the media was Bad, Actually. Because it couldn't just be not for them. It's okay to just not like shit! lol I PROMISE!

Meet Louise of Prussia. Politician, diplomat and beloved queen and wife. Rode into battle while pregnant. One of my heroes. Famously described by Napoleon famously as "the only real man in Prussia" Gonna ask you to think a bit about that in a sec, but first you need to know about her life. /1 🧵

This thread, and let me add: if you are vulnerable and also have the money when you get a passport… apply for a passport card as well. It’s much easier to carry with you all the time, and it allows you to leave your passport in a secure location while still having documentation.

This thread is still going and it’s excellent so far. A lot of people have forgotten the details surrounding insurance and access to healthcare pre-ACA in 2012. Many current voters were too young to know the details. This explainer of how it was, and what’s at stake now, is great and spot on.

Because people keep asking, the Story of The Lizard In That Dude's Leg. Some caveats: 1. This happened more than twenty years ago. There are no pictures. There was a small article in a local paper with, again, no pictures (I'm assuming that's what the producers of 9-1-1: LONE STAR found).
