This bizarre and dangerous claim violates literally every section of our Constitution, which was built by geniuses explicitly to limit individual power.

Those entrusted with enforcing our Constitution have a duty to every Conservative and Liberal American. A duty to act. Now.

โ€œWhen participants used ChatGPT to draft essays, brain scans revealed a 47% drop in neural connectivity across regions associated with memory, language, & critical reasoning.

Their brains worked less, but they felt just as engagedโ€”a kind of metacognitive mirage.โ€๐Ÿงช

Complex art shouldn't go down smooth, but besides that, a romance reader wants to experience the story's highs and lows. A horror reader can't get a sense of dread from a summary.

"Make it easy to summarize" is the suggestion from a non-reader trying to solve books for someone who likes to read.

๐Ÿ’ซOne week to go! ๐Ÿ’ซ

It's hard to believe that The Haunting of Wounded Birds will take to the wing in just seven days! This one owns my heart in so many ways and I hope readers love Jackdaw as much as I do.

Coffin Moon is out today.

Thanks to everyone that's reviewed the book, preordered it, told their friends about it. We had a sold out event at Hollywood Theatre last night, and Broadway Books sold every single copy of Coffin Moon they'd brought. I'm so lucky. Thank you all.

A reminder that this is YOUR social media experience. You don't owe anyone shit. Not your attention, your ideas, your debate, your brainspace.

You can curate your Bluesky experience however you want and there is no intellectual inferiority to do so. This is not a public square; its a fucking app.

Not every time you pick up an instrument is a concert, not every meal you cook is a formal dinner, not every story you write is supposed to be a performance, either. Most of the flavor is in the practice. Make a mess today

This is real (at least in the US). It's not one of those stupid things where you put an idiotic statement on your FB page declaring something illegal. I just checked it on FB settings and it had a list of every website I visited recently. Fucking weird. The future kind of sucks.
