ARC reader call-out!

If you liked the None Shall Sleep series, or if you just like the idea of reading a book about an amnesiac serial killer in 1987 NYC, I'm registering arc readers for NO ONE IS SAFE right now 😊

GenAI truly was the worst technology to come along at this moment.

An energy and water guzzler when we most urgently need to take climate action.

A disinformation machine as our journalism fails.

A bias machine as fascism takes root.

A job killer in a cost of living crisis.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

Highly endorse everything Ellie has written, but "Silence of the Lambs but it's YA and set in the Reagan era" is 100% pure genius as a pitch, AND she pulls it off.

Ellie Marney @elliemarney.bsky.social · 5d

If you ever wanted my YA "Silence of the Lambs"-inspired serial killer thriller, NONE SHALL SLEEP, in digital then now is an excellent time because it costs less than 2 bucks US 😊🖤

Chairman asked about Trump
published at 10:21
10:21
Jørgen Watne Frydnes, the Nobel Peace Committee's chairman is now being asked questions.
On Donald Trump, the chairman is asked about the pressure from the US president himself and some in the international community to earmark the prize for Trump, and whether this pressure impacted the work of the committee in deliberating.
In response, Frydnes says that "in the long history" of the Nobel Peace Prize the committee has seen campaigns and "media tension" and it receives thousands of letters each year from people who say "what for them leads to peace".
"We base our decision only on the work and the will of Alfred Nobel," he concludes.
