• Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants
• Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants
• Blue State Minnesota has 130,000.
And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration."
It's *not* about immigration.

For what it’s worth I don’t use a gmail account and won’t be randomly contacting new authors enthusing about their books and giving them dodgy links to click on. There’s a new wave of author impersonation going round apparently.

enjoyed this from @stewarthome.bsky.social. i’m blissfully ignorant of yoga but it traces out a history of Western charlatans, hucksters, and fash with obvious parallels to today’s wellness circles.

Just realised we're coming up on the 20th anniversary of publishing The Stormcaller. Here's hoping Gollancz will be willing to do some sort of promotional push of the ebook to mark the anniversary.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open 'just to do quick research'
![You’ve got super fans pausing and zooming in on individuals frames of your documentary. One allegedly shows one of the Duffers with a ChatGPT tab open on their computer. In your presence, what did they use ChatGPT for?
I mean, are we even sure they had ChatGPT open?
I’m personally not, but the internet seems sure.
Well, there’s a lot of chatter where [social media users] are like, “We don’t really know, but we’re assuming.” But to me it’s like, doesn’t everybody have it open, to just do quick research?
I do.
How can you possibly write a storyline with 19 characters and use ChatGPT, I don’t even understand.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7t2urmt3i33jl6tjgiolio6g/bafkreidw2tmcr2ayq74oqmjm5pn2tdox6hlxnpqevhuqqj6oa7nsslx3oi@jpeg)

10am and the smell of weed is drifting across the gardens here. Mate, you've just got to find some good for your life. Even when you have friends round, you're outside in the dark in sub-zero temps, silently staring at your phones while smoking weed. Not even showing signs of enjoying it.
