I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Placing a layer of algorithmic recommendation on speech does not make speech less free, but it does pervert it.

Algorithmic mediation turns speech into a resource extracted from human behavior.

Platforms do not value speech because it is protected, they value the service it provides them.

As I said when I visited ICE facilities and met with communities across New Jersey this week: I will not vote for another dollar for this out-of-control Department of Homeland Security and ICE.

Minneapolis leads the way. Fascism cannot stand against a people who rise up by the millions against it.

Le minacce degli agenti federali ICE ai giornalisti della Rai sono inaccettabili. Solidarietà a Laura Cappon e Daniele Babbo. Colpire chi racconta i fatti è un attacco alla libertà di stampa. Il Governo non può tacere: chiediamo una condanna chiara e tutela dei nostri inviati.

Diciamo no al “board of peace” di Donald Trump, perché non ha nulla a che fare con la pace. È potere, denaro, dominio. Per entrare bisogna pagare: la pace diventa un bene di lusso. La pace non si compra, la legittimità non si paga. Chi trasforma la pace in business costruisce nuovi conflitti.

There was a school shooting in Minneapolis in September. Many of the wounded children had thrown their bodies over younger children to protect them.

New: Trio of Dem senators urge Apple and Google to enforce their own terms of service and ban X, Grok apps for their flood of nonconsensual sexual imagery.

I've repeatedly asked both Apple and Google about this for three days. They're completely silent, seemingly hoping the question just goes away.
Senators urged Apple and Google to remove X and Grok from app stores over sexual deepfakes
“Turning a blind eye to X’s egregious behavior would make a mockery of your moderation practices,” three Democratic senators wrote to Apple’s and Google’s CEOs.

Wish me luck—The Scottish Boy (+ a new, similar book!!!) is out on sub to publishers, hoping to find a new home post-Unbound.

The book sold out 3 print runs & did big audio numbers on word of mouth, so I hope a new publisher can build on that. If you liked the book, pls RT 💕 synopsis in alt txt

while it is certainly thrilling for all the erotica buckaroos to see my rise into mainstream success, i find THIS direction of starting at horror and then discovering tinglers to be VERY fun. GODSPEED BUCKAROO
So @chucktingle.bsky.social is a very good horror writer. But apparently he writes other, spicier stories. I've not read any yet. I may do so
