I'm delighted to say that I'm one of the writers whose work will be included in a queer anthology organised by Jade du Preez, @jamiedsands.bsky.social, and @hiriadunning.bsky.social, and we need to raise some more cash to make sure it happens!

Still waiting after all these years…

A tweet from Democrats (@TheDemocrats) reads:
“Not even concepts of a plan anymore.”
Below are screenshots from an interview with Donald Trump and a journalist. The captions read:
Trump: “Obamacare is terrible. It’s bad health care.”
Interviewer: “So you will put forward a health care plan?”
Trump: “No.”

The implicit message behind all AI is: "you are useless, you couldn't even send an email if it wasn't for our products. Be thankful we exist to make you basically functional."

I spotted this on Mastodon and I find it horrible, not least for the speed with which this has happened.

A post on Mastodon by small cypress (@small_cypress@indieweb.social):

As an art teacher I was worried AI would come up as an issue of "why should I learn how to draw when I can use AI instead."

But the real issue is that my middle schoolers CONSTANTLY believe all art I show them is AI. Digital art. Photography. Oil paintings from the Western canon. "A human couldn't do that"

Being convinced that humans can't make great art is kind of terrifying

Hear ye hear ye, I have acquired a new hobby: poking people with swords!

Had my first proper rapier combat practice this evening! Was a bit funny because everyone else there had been doing Capo Ferro for twelve weeks and I've been holding a rapier for approximately twelve minutes, but I had fun!

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy defines the marketing division of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation as “a bunch of mindless jerks who’ll be the first against the wall when the revolution comes,”

Andrew Quemere @andrewqmr.bsky.social · 4d

I've been getting back into the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series after many years, and the most relatable part is how everyday objects like doors and elevators have been imbued with artificial intelligence and it just makes them obnoxious and frustrating to use and everyone hates it.

paul, this is a tweet about silicon valley failing to recognize scifi as being social critique and assuming they were prescriptions for what future society should look like rather than amplifications of social issues present at time of writing.

hope this helps!

"Torment Nexus" comes from this tweet and is often used now to describe the kind of negative experiences you can have with social networks, like getting dogpiled or harassed or being pushed into conflict

Sci-Fi Author: In my book I invented the Torment Nexus as a cautionary tale
Tech Company: At long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from the classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus

Essentially it is this, yes.

Jason Kander posts:
“Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor.
Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.”
He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

You know, I'm not surprised to see Luxon showing up other world leaders to suck Donald Trump off and invite him to play golf here, but watching it still makes me a bit queasy, y'know? Gross. Let's not have the orange dictator set festering foot on our motu, eh?

See also my griping after the Disney+ deal that which actor's playing the next Doctor has been newsworthy in Aotearoa, and yet it wasn't even on TVNZ any more. I ain't paying the Mouse for cultural staple shows that used to be free to air on our national broadcaster!

Well hey at least there'll be some resolution to what the Reality War left us with and thank God for that. Disney pulling out absolutely no surprise, they were clearly done a long time ago and I really hope we are now done with streaming partnerships.

Disney/BBC Doctor Who partnership ends with more Doctor Who to come

Disney and the BBC will not be partnering on the next series of Doctor Who. The BBC remains committed to making more Doctor Who starting with a 2026 Christmas special.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

The A.S.V. Alexiares surges into the fray.

Found this old animation from 2020 which I never fully finished gathering dust in my files, and realised I could clean it up and finish it very quickly! Very little was changed from 2020, so some things are still janky.
