"Anthropic has much more in common with the Department of War than we have differences."
Last week, Denver’s mayor announced a new executive order that bans ICE agents from city property, citing the killing of protesters by federal agents in Minneapolis this year as motivation for the measure.
We turned away from the light when we invented a way to go online without the computer screaming in warning.
NEW “We’re celebrating a tradition that is at its core about resisting occupation and maintaining community in the face of horrors. You can’t keep politics out of Irish music. No one should try, for two reasons. First, it’s ahistorical. Second, Minnesotans are ready for a big anti-fascist party.”

Three covers of my novel MASSIF. The UK and Australian ones have a photo-realistic approach, the US one is illustrative. All feature a seated figure looking up at a mountain range ascending into space. US cover illustration by Matt Griffon. UK cover by blacksheep.
Cover reveal time!
An adult science fiction novel tinged with horror, about the crew of a small warship in a relatively near future where humans hitch rides to the stars on sentient star-faring mountain ranges called Massifs.
Can be pre-ordered at the usual places, *please* do so. Thank you.
So happy to see SEASONS OF GLASS AND IRON on this NPR roundup for March! & so dislocating to see myself quoted on Pop Culture Happy Hour in 2021 & realize that was 5 years ago, instead of the 2-ish it feels like it ought to be

There were plenty of high-octane races up and down the Republican primary ballot Tuesday. From senator to the railroad commissioner, Justin Miller breaks down who's who in the fiery Texas GOP circus, and their bizarre platforms:

In the unlikely event you need more tote bags, or in the LIKELY event you want to give a gift IN a tote bag and thus increase someone else's collection, here are a few of my designs:

When it comes to health advice, more people trust the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association than they do federal health agencies, according to a new poll

Highland Park is installing ICE warning sirens. An excellent idea and goddamn I’m sick of the necessity.

Just called my senators. Their staff picked up quickly, I left a message.
Do it.
Oh awesome! I just saw this!
All wise children in Hookland know that the gauge doesn't just measure the river at flood and drought, but tell you whether the brook is deep enough for Stay Belows to swim. – Stella Fleet #VOH
I initially shared this, not knowing it was a Claude screenshot (because, having never used Claude, I didn’t know what Claude screenshots looked like), and since I’d seen similar claims in other sources I assumed this was journalism. But I should have checked it before sharing. Apologies, all.

Folks please light up their phones TODAY. The Dems failing to stand together on this is bullshit.
It won't be live-streamed, it's a university class, and actually most of it will be more focused on student questions about my books.
Yes, that was the whole "class" and "humans paying the cost" bit in my post.
This is to answer one question so I couldn't go too deep, but I'm reccing @wolvendamien.bsky.social article: afutureworththinkingabout.com?p=6422 and Justin Brown's siliconcanals.com/sc-d-i-spent...
Working on a q&a lecture for a class today: The story of robots is always a story about slavery. The story of LLMs labeled as AI is a story about class, and which humans pay the cost, including the physical toll on their bodies/minds, and the lack of water and electricity, so data centers can exist.
It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist.
He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.
One grandfather may have been a roofer/construction worker. There were stories about him working on the roof of Casa Manana in Fort Worth. One grandmother who hunted deer for food in the winter.
Dirt farmers in New Mexico and ranchers and farmers in Colorado, I was never told much beyond that. My father fought in WWII, was wounded, and was in a Nazi prison camp. My mother was a kid during the Depression when she had to have an emergency operation without anesthesia.
In general, because it tends to set designations a little differently for each incident, hostiles are antagonists that Murderbot is worried about and targets are antagonists that need to worry about Murderbot. It’s the difference between something dangerous is out there vs. something to hunt down.
