Begrudgingly.

Me: And I just held her in my arms until she died.
Facilitator: OK…does anyone else want to share a fun fact about themselves?

Calls for civility are often weaponized by abusers, by bigots, by those who would oppress you. If it is considered impolite to speak out against dishonor, then it is time for a true warrior to be rude.

"Language has created the word "loneliness" to express the pain of being alone, and the word "solitude" to express the glory of being alone." - Paul Johannes Tillich

There is a city in Turkey called Batman.
It is the capital of a province also called Batman.
That is all.

Great piece from my colleague Alex Levine which illustrates how a TikTok ban would be devastating for people who've built businesses around the platform--and the people they've hired.

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers Tor Books and Head of Zeus, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. In fact, Audible won't sell *any* of my audiobooks. Instead, I have to independently produce them and sell them through Kickstarter:

On the pharmacy’s floor
is a faded sticker which reads:
“stay safe—six feet apart”
seeing that I am looking at it
an employee tells me
that they tried to get rid of it
but it’s really stuck
so they’ve decided to live with it
and I can’t tell
if he means the sticker or the virus.

Google Bard sides with the Justice Department in the Google antitrust case
“I hope that the court will find in favor of the Justice Department and order Google to take steps to break up its monopoly”
Caption
Me: The Justice Department sues Google for monopolizing digital advertising technologies. Would you side with the Justice Department or Google in this case? Google Bard: I would side with the Justice Department in this case. Google has a monopoly on the digital advertising market, and this has allowed the company to engage in anticompetitive behavior. Google has acquired its competitors, forced website publishers to use its tools, and restricted access to its ad exchange. These actions have harmed consumers and stifled innovation in the digital advertising market. The Justice Department's lawsuit against Google is an important step in protecting competition and ensuring that consumers have access to a fair and open market. I hope that the court will find in favor of the Justice Department and order Google to take steps to break up its monopoly.
