For the past few years, I have been giving out ebooks for free. These are almost (but not always) US Kindle books; I sometimes to UK/IE Kindle books as well. I get asked about this a lot, so here are some notes: • I will use the hashtag #KindleBookGiveaway • These are legally purchased books

I'm also disappointed in our reporters. In the UK, in Scotland, I'm pretty sure they'd start booing at this point. Get a little spine.

@bsky.app Seriously do you ever talk to ANY UX people AT ALL? Your new design for Notifications has doubled down on low contrast, which is something ANY DECENT UX PERSON would tell you is bad. Scre

This could have been me at some point in my past, but I do hope I've gotten better. And I'm currently too tired to do more than just say he doesn't deserve free books.

Spammed by fucking Nancy Pelosi, asshole.

Wow, ok, this is fairly extreme. file770 is going on the People Who Do Not Deserve Free Books, and will stay there until such time as @princejvstin.com tells me otherwise.

Well this asshole doesn't deserve free books. sp

This person does not deserve free books, because of his well-document harassment, rudeness, and general assholiness. I was honestly surprised I hadn't already blocked him.

I see @bsky.app has updated their UI for the notifications page, and I don't like it. It's... cold.

@johnrogers.bsky.social I just noticed that Dubertech's corporate logo is a swastika...

We've heard reports of Bluesky web app usability issues. We've identified a fix and will be rolling in out shortly. status.bsky.app

The God of Bad Art gets offerings from all over the world, but in Their temple, They sometimes appear. "Why bad art?" I ask. "It is brave", the God replies. "To try and fail?" "No," the God chuckles. "Any creative work is a defiance of entropy, of Death itself. If you create, you do not fail."

Ok, this is ACTUAL FRINGE SCIENCE, as in, something Walter on Fringe might have done. www.sciencealert.com/old-blood-ce...

#HeadsUp: Company, by KJ Parker, is on US ebook sale for $2, and The Anchored Series: Complete Collection, by Bridget E. Baker, is on US ebook sale for $1. I got copies of each for myself and for random giveaway.

TORONTO! If you haven't already, today is the day to vote for Olivia Chow! And if you're voting Brad Bradford... Don't tell me and just block me now because I think you're either ignorant or an asshole

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

Brazil’s results tonight are a big endorsement for the idea that every country should have a second “are you you sure about that” election a couple weeks after the first one for the important stuff

Leverage S3E1 is ... still full of evil.

I actually cried about this...

@djangowexler.bsky.social Somi would be a devotee of the White Rat in a @tkingfisher.com book...

Huh, watching Gilmore Girls The Third Lorelei (the first episode with Marion Ross as Richard's mother "Trix"), and it occurred to me that Trix treats Emily Gilmore the same way Nanny Ogg treats her daughters-in-law.

Anti-trans Democrats are spreading poison when we can least afford it, during elections in this ongoing fascist takeover. As a strategy, it’s a recipe for failure. As a moral stand, it’s reprehensible. PS I’m the father of young trans woman and I’ll never forgive anyone who makes her life harder.

Some amazing experimental work on #Roman glass here Love the quote from Dr Lisa Hollands: “If the Romans could have seen me experimenting, they’d probably laugh and ask: ‘Why does she not know how to make this?’” - I think this would be the case! #AncientBlueSky www.theguardian.com/science/2026...
