Holy crap -- Automatic Noodle is an instant USA Today and Indie bestseller! Thank you so much, humans and robots, for reading this li'l book and making it soar. Now go eat something! Or get your noodle swag at automaticnoodle.website

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

This is censorship from an authoritarian regime that wants to project the illusion that they face no internal opposition or dissent. No other way to describe it.

Just wondering why I would want a technology whose "grandest promises" include destroying the need for human creativity and creating a new class of enslaved people trapped inside data centers controlled by oligarchs

Hailey is so awesome. Please help out a brilliant Brazilian translator and sci-fi writer who just needs a little bit more $$ to care for her sick mum.

Had a cheese atayef this evening at Reem's in San Francisco. Definitely one of the greatest things I have ever eaten. Soft and crunchy, sweet and salty, aromatic and sprinkled with pistachios. I will be thinking about it for a long time. I'm not sure why it was so perfect, but it was.

Who are your favorite solarpunk illustrators and visual artists? Links and images please! My brain needs some nice things.

It's awards season! I couldn't be more proud of the two books I published last year. "Automatic Noodle" is my love letter to San Francisco's future. The anthology "We Will Rise Again" is a hopeful collaboration between me, @older.bsky.social, @drkarenlord.bsky.social & many brilliant authors.

Feeling paranoid about stochastic violence and weaponized media? Me too. That's why I can't stop thinking about this incredibly helpful essay by @littlewow.online in @flaminghydra.com about the idea of "reparative reading" as a corrective to the "paranoid style." flaminghydra.com/issue-511/

Amateurs think about the Roman Empire. Pros think about the Bronze Age city states.

After literal years of being a gigantic fan of @whoweekly.bsky.social I finally got off my virtual ass and subscribed to their Patreon and now I get ad-free commentary on the absurdity of celebrity life, plus excellent analysis of recent pop culture. Winning. www.patreon.com/cw/whoweekly

This is horrific. And also, Princeton has an eviction lab? We need one of those out here in the San Francisco area.

Bay Area! 3/12! Me and the legendary Cindy Cohn! Don't miss this amazing opportunity to hear from a veteran of the privacy wars ... and learn new ways to keep yourself safe from the prying eyes of government.

Hello Frankfurt pals! See you in April!!!
