A huge problem I have with AI is the amount of content generated for social media of dubious origin and with dubious facts. The point is not to mislead people with fake stories, but to make everyone question if anything is accurate or real or really happened at all. The firehose of falsehood.

It's just insane to me that school #library book bans are still a thing, as if high numbers of kids read and get their ideas from books at a school library. Yes, I'm romantic about libraries and librarians and kids reading. Yes, some kids do. Most get their ideas from Tik Tok, not books.

I'm surprised Kim Davis is back in the news. Who knew she was still mad about having to recognize gay marriage, and working behind the scenes for the past decade to end it? Up she pops like a breaching whale.
A+ perseverance, but I hope she fails.

Many in the #writingcommunity #ya space ask why I don't have a traditional book deal this late in my career.
Them: What kind of sense of humor do you have?

In a world where the #writingcommunity asks for permission to write about things and whines about #AI, maybe be a little more like 78 YO Ozzy Osbourne with Parkinson's, declaring he's "not f**king done" and doing a metal show while sitting in a big black chair with a hellish bat on it. 🤘#amwriting

Laura Loomer is the kind of MAGA person who gets hurt and offended when I call her evil instead of saying we have a difference of political opinion.

Who here remembers June 23, 1989, and how exciting this summer was?
Two thoughts:
1. The advertising campaign that drove the national insanity was backed up by a solid #film.
2. I don't know if we'll ever have another moment like it now that the media landscape is different.
What a time.

In Bandung, Indonesia I found a radio station I like. 103.5 Chevy. It is everything a radio station should be. Deep tracks and mixed format, lots of human involvement, sometimes streaming, sometimes not. Old songs I'd forgotten, new songs I don't know. People forget what good radio sounds like.

The house is debating what the work requirements for Medicaid should be.
There should be no work requirement for Medicaid. There should be no work requirement for quality health care in a civilized, first world nation.

When #GenAlpha says they want to be #YouTubers or #influencers, I don’t hear “I want to make content.” I hear: “I want to be loved, rich, and admired just for being myself.”
And honestly? That’s not new. Just newly possible - and at higher risk.

#Starbucks may be evil corporate, but lately, their customer experience for paying customers who aren't there to go BM and sleep on a table has gotten really good. Love the reusable mugs, and the vertica machines brew a hell of a good cup of blonde roast at any hour.

I remember when progressives were all pissed off about big banks and cable companies being at pride events. Now those same companies are doing away with DEI and any mention of trans people to kiss up to the White House. And I ask: which was better?
