I'm old enough to have had the measles before there was a reliable vaccine, the mumps before there was a reliable vaccine, and chicken pox before there was a reliable vaccine. why the fuck would anybody voluntarily want to go back to that, it fucking sucked

Isn’t this the strangest experience? Reading content produced by people. No ads, no AI cruft. Just… real people. I don’t think it can last but for now it is SO refreshing!

What is this book going to be about. What will it have to say about the human condition? At this point, I don't care about the plot.

As I say when I teach -- plot is the shit that happens, theme is why it matters. #Writing

Another day at Bluesky, and it looks like growth is not slowing down! Welcome!

Well, Bluesky is clean, easy, and free. How long can it remain so? Is there ANY way to avoid the enshitification that comes when money becomes the focus?

Can anyone suggest a way to avoid it? Because as soon as it happens, Mu$k & co. can trash it.

First Infowars. Next, Fox “News!”

I'm just rolling around laughing that the Onion bought Infowars. I mean... Just wow. How long can Bluesky & the Onion hold off Mu$k I wonder.
