I am the builder, no longer a stone refused. Trying to add a little more light and a little less noise to the world. With the shits. Always tired.

Gotta say, if the genre of article that goes “I talked to the machine that’s poisoning Black communities, and here’s what it said” went extinct tonight, we’d all be better off.

Non fiction authors usually supplement their book income with public speaking, consulting, have full time jobs or they're in academia.
almost every novelist you read who's not from the airport fiction or bestseller sections is working a full on day job, including multi-award winners and absolute legends, or they have a spouse or trust that supports them. virtually across the board. just normalize in your mind that's how it works.
I know we know this, but authors need to get better at talking about how they actually make their money. Stop pretending it's from the books.

This is a good read, but one of the great frustrations of seeing everyone react to the (not-at-all-surprising) "revelation" that the manipulators on Twitter are foreign accounts is that Musk & his cronies were the ones that attacked & defunded the researchers who were telling everyone about this!
I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Apple pie is bad. This is not really debatable. So is key lime pie, while we’re on the topic. Pecan pie is the 🐐 tho.

Probably won’t see this in mainstream media - aka the right wing press - coz it’s against their narrative. Wind energy in Britain broke a new record last week with nearly 23GW on the grid one cold windy evening. That was 56% of all electricity on Britain’s grid.
