I love to read about #authors who wanna talk about writing rather than other stuff, even publicity. Authors are hard-working, resilient, imagineers dealing in dreams and nightmares. Their lives are full of colour and promise.
They're built differently.
Celebrate it.

If you want to understand what's what re generative AI, follow @doctorow.pluralistic.net and read his book The Reverse Centaur's Guide to Life After AI, along with Enshitification. No one is doing a better job of analysis and critical thinking on the subject.

Speculative #fiction tells us never to trust a Bond villain, particularly Tech-based Bond villains (Drax, Zorin, Carver etc).
Real life tells us there are many idiots out there who have forgotten the lessons good stories teach us.
Because the #UK is not for sale at any price.

As Ben Delo's record £36m Reform donation is headline news, I can't emphasise enough that the media ought to be reporting on Delo's heinous funding of antisemitic conspiracy theorists in the High Court – anonymous contributors to the horrifying neo-Nazi account shown below. bsky.app/profile/luke...

He yells at female reporters, (sorry… Black female reporters) and NO ONE in the White House Press Corps will attempt to defend the women. That’s how low we have sunk.

A reminder that Delo previously pled guilty in the US to violating money laundering protections and agreed to pay a $10 million fine for "willfully” breaking the law with his BitMex platform, which was described as "in effect a money laundering platform.”

It's people who buy into fascism as a means to avoid responsibility.
Always easier to blame some minority that admit your own blame.

It's nonsense to suggest that people who support Brexit and Reform are motivated by racism. And if you don't believe me, check out this perfectly reasonable tweet by prominent Reform member and former mayoral candidate, Arron Banks.

Revisiting your childhood home is like visiting a museum of your life, or poring over a barnacle-encrusted anchor.
As a writer, you appreciate the stories you made there, amongst the imperfections of growing up.
Today, that anchor is the imperfect Holmes Chapel, but perfect in many other memories. ❤️

I am tired of people saying we can’t win in front of the Supreme Court.
I’m annoyed by those who say my firm is too partisan to be effective.
Today we won a huge redistricting fight before SCOTUS and a ballot access case before the Nebraska Supreme Court.
The lesson: When we fight we win.
