Amazingly, I managed to finish my weekend coding project into which I got unexpectedly sucked in by my own brain on Friday. All while watching snooker, chauffeuring my family around on various errands, setting up a new bike and managing emergencies.

I'll make a short write-up tomorrow.

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."
