I'm trying to work out what the healthy alternative to putting loads of cheese on stuff is and I've concluded it's just "sadness."

feel like I'm coping with the rise of AI/slop/video by living in denial around 90% of the time then spending the remaining 10% in a blind panic about writing as a profession being headed for extinction in the next five to seven years

i think what’s most dangerous about this belief is that it legitimizes the structural demolition of science the US is carrying out and its underfunding elsewhere

There's a lot of anger in my writing, but rarely any spite. However... An ex who treated me horribly during our relationship messaged me, asking if I'd be willing to meet for dinner and "see if there's still a spark". I was fuming! 😡 I typed a whole essay! But I cooled down and sent this instead.

Yup. I have a hard time seeing the fact that Bluesky does not compensate people for being combative assholes to generate "engagement" as a downside.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

People often stop me in the street (never happened) and ask: “What do people like on Bluesky?” “Mountains and flowers,” comes my reply. Mt. Fuji with a sprinkle of flowers for #stunday. ❤️ ✌🏽 #photography #nature #art #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #fuji #japan #flowers #bloomscrolling #scape

ICYMI, I'm co-writing #TheExpanse with Wes Chatham — the acclaimed actor who plays Amos Burton! Based on an original idea by Wes, it's a noir revenge thriller in which Amos goes... full Amos. I call it "Churn mode." If you know, you know.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

As my story of Simon, the only feline recipient of the highest medal for animal gallantry is doing the rounds again. I'll share that HMS Amethyst's "general characteristics" section on Wikipedia has a unique crew complement section.
