Thinking idly about how there was a time in the past where the Grok CSAM scandal would lead to a huge exodus off X to Bluesky and elsewhere but how now everyone who cared about such things has already left

Wow. What a short story. Torment nexus kind of thing. But worse, some of this is already happening
Oh, and last thing. Along with these older novels, I also read lots of new stuff online and want to give a shout to @isabel.kim for her short story "Wire Mother," published by @clarkesworldmagazine.com. Best short story of the year. An absolute middle finger to tech bros and this horrible era.

Happy New Year from MetService in Wellington! 🎉🌦️
New year, new weather! 🌤️ It was a turbulent end to 2025 with wild weather for many, but looking ahead to 2026 it appears we’re moving into a more settled pattern across the country as a ridge of high pressure builds over us this weekend 🌈☀️

Elon would like everyone to use roman numerals, to go along with his roman salute.... 😏
when I was young, i used to wonder how people like this would fare in life, as they didn't seem suited for gainful employment. it turns out, the internet allowed them to accumulate a massive audience of similar idiots, enriching them and turning them into a presidential advisor
