Guess it's time for a proper intro post with new followers...

I'm Carli (she/they) and I'm three aliens stacked on top of each other ๐Ÿ‘ฝ I've also been an editor, journalist, and content manager for like 12 years.

I have two cats, post about video games, movies, and journalism and have brain worms ๐Ÿชฑ

if gen AI actually solved any problems, I'd gladly believe that but it really, really doesn't. It's a solution in search of a problem.

It's 2026 and every social media "expert" is like, "how to make human-centric content in the age of AI." It's the funniest pie-in-the-face shit.

What do you mean people actually want to see people and not computer monstrosities? YOU. DON'T. SAY

at the front of the marching band of intrusive "carli should write a book" thoughts.
February 11, 2026 at 1:09 AM
Look, I have three good book proposals... in my brain. And they're good... for being scattered thoughts that feel like a coherent thought when my brain wants them to be
February 11, 2026 at 1:07 AM
The intrusive thoughts have returned...

Journalists love to put a weird quote in the headline because it's easy and lets the reader pass judgment. But then the reader judges that the journalist is bad at their job for parroting what is clearly nonsense.

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign.

Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship.

Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.
