It's official! I'm *permanently* banned from X for tweeting "TLDR: Fascism." (appeal denied) What an honor—and a sign that the Silicon Valley billionaires feel threatened by my book. (One of my final viral posts featured this cover.) Pre-order here! www.simonandschuster.com/books/The-Ne...

This is a very good article on how the Russian regime managed to get around western economic sanctions, but also how many western companies happily cooperated with it so that they could keep doing business in Russia while pretending they weren't.

OK, this is incredible. Mad genius Mark Sample has created a web tool for exploring Subcutanean (my novel where each copy is unique) across every axis you can think of: source code, 25 diffed versions, VR projections(!), bubble viz(!!) & a lot more. (1/2)

I have but one feature request for Mastodon.

* If my post contains a link
* Disable the reply button
* Once the user has clicked the link
* Wait 60 seconds then
* Enable the reply button for them

(If you're about to tell me why this wouldn't work - you're *exactly* the sort of person this feature is aimed at.)

"We are not getting richer. We are spending down a natural inheritance accumulated over geological time, entering the draw-down in the growth column, and refusing to note the corresponding reduction in assets. The net position is deteriorating, and the growth figure is a fiction. Selling one's mother's saris and calling the proceeds a salary is a known indicator of household ruin; we are doing it at planetary scale and printing the receipts as quarterly results."

Please boycott JK Rowling. I do not have the health to listen to defenders of Potter on why they won't boycott. Take that somewhere else please.

For those boycotting, here are alternative worlds from authors who are supportive of marginalized people:

* Young Wizards series by Diane Duane
* Emelan series by Tamora Pierce
* Akata Witch series by Nnedi Okorafor
* Animorphs series by Katherine Applegate
* Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan
* Legendborn series by Tracy Deonn

I am begging everyone to be looking at your city councils right now. These are the people who say whether or not a corporation can come into your town and take all of your resources, pollute the environment, and kill the residents.

Cit Council members who hand your welfare and lives over to corporations should never have a moment of rest from the people. These are the people you can actually have an influence on, and these are elections you can actually get in on.

Interesting to see Copilot injecting ads into PR descriptions. Although there are a handful of older instances of this, if GitHub search is working properly, it looks like this started happening at scale around 10 days ago with more than 1k injections of this particular ad per day since then (if you search for other ad strings, you can find the rate of other ads)

One might even suspect this "feature" was intentional: To get more acceptable PRs which were seemingly made with AI and thus confuse people whether they can recognize AI slop.
