Hi, new Bluesky followers! Three things to know about me:

2) In 2013 I wrote the hottest Star Wars comic of Dec. 2020.
3) Also, I do PR for Nintendo

Such a fun book, and a terrific gift for comic book, super hero and mystery fans!
So thrilled to see ALTER EGO out in paperback today!

Eternally proud of this standalone sequel to SECRET IDENTITY, which was an immediate USA TODAY-bestseller, Anthony Award-nominee, and got rave reviews from all over.

I’ve been running around asking tech execs and academics if language was the same as intelligence for over a year now - and, well, it isn’t. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social explains how the bubble is built on ignoring cutting-edge research into the science of thought www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Read this entire thread.
I posted a buy link here to "A Magical Inheritance" a few days ago, and 24 of you immediately went to Anna's Archives and fucking stole it from me.

Yes, stole it.

I do not get paid for your download there because YOU ARE STEALING FROM ME.

The guy who launched his rocket ride to the Presidency on birtherism just got outplayed by a Muslim democratic socialist, any candidate (and their organization) who lost to Trump should be deeply embarrassed and find new work.

This is a nuts story. An AI chatbot and image platform left millions of images exposed. They show what people are actually using the AI for: taking random women's yearbook, graduation, and social media photos and making super realistic hardcore porn with them

Ban private equity, tbh

Pluribus is great, huh?

Also, well after the rest of the world, I've recently gotten into the novels of Stuart Turton and that's a very good thing.

Finally, very much looking forward to reading @seantcollins.com' Twin Peaks recaps on @popheist.com when I do my rewatch soon!
This morning is a GREAT morning to post about things that are good that you really like imo

After yesterday’s surrender, we’re launching the largest Democratic primary program that we’ve ever run.

We will not back any Senate primary candidate unless they call for Schumer to step down as Minority Leader.

If you’re as pissed as we are, join this campaign to rebuild the Democratic Party. 👇
Democratic leaders have failed us again. It's time to get new leaders.
After yet another capitulation by Chuck Schumer and Senate Democrats, it's clear we need new leadership capable of mounting a serious opposition to Trump's authoritarian regime. We're launching our la...

Take it from someone who's written Star Wars: "Leader Thune" is a Star Wars-ass name.

And not a good guy, neither.
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

Enough is enough. Contact your Democratic senators TODAY and tell them to call for Senator Schumer to step aside as Minority Leader. We desperately need new leadership in the Democratic Party.

This is the message of a failed, feckless, and leaderless party. We need a party with backbone, and the only path to it is through a cleansing primary season. If your Dem is up for reelection, and you aren't damn sure they're fighting the fascists with everything they've got, primary the bastard.
