My next novel, SOMETHING NEW UNDER THE SUN, is out from @hogarthbooks on 8/3! It starts out as a Hollywood novel and then becomes...a total disaster. Fake water, teenage detectives, hallucinatory capitalism, aging child stars—and an overall preapocalyptic vibe 🔥🔥🔥

The naysayers are getting embarrassing. Every day, people are using AI to make incredible breakthroughs and answer some of the toughest questions around, like "what do I like about my child?"

The guy who directed the killing of 250.000 trees in Finland for Google now with a nopology + "We don't think it would be useful to start debating this publicly."

But seriously have you considered that it’s simply too expensive for most people to not eat foie gras?
Alexandra Kleeman retweeted
Everyone belly aching about the DC foie gras ban as trivial - feel free to advance your own issue & get engaged with your own government. There is nothing stopping you. Criticizing others for advocating for their values while not being active yourself is just having a tantrum.
The plan?
Force feed ducks to stop federal agents from terrorizing our streets
In a time where we feel so helpless to achieve larger change, it feels like literal insanity to vote against something that would reduce cruelty measurably—just because there are other things you would rather change as well?

Beautiful story here on orang utans, by Nicola Davis, and heartbreaking again to recognise what wonders we are losing to wanton planetary destruction in the name of “economic growth”

Before Google’s arrival a few months ago, an estimated 250,000 trees occupied the 330 hectares (815 acres) of forest near Muhos in rural northern Finland. Now they are all gone, the tech company illegally stripped the entire area to build a datacentre

Earlier this year, Sarah Chihaya was diagnosed with MSA—a terminal neurodegenerative disease. Right now, she can no longer read or write—this will be her last piece. And it's a brilliant one about Emily Brontë and unknowability. thenation.com/article/cultur…
We simply do not have the society-wide media literacy necessary to properly watch a documentary like You Can See Everything

Scientists Urge Consumers to Stop Buying Products Made From Antarctic Krill. A new global boycott comes as major retailers withdraw krill products from their shelves to protect whales and other marine life. insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

When the cost of eggs spiked in 2022, economists said bird flu alone was to blame. Anyone who suspected corporate price-fixing was dismissed as a crank.
Inside the alleged egg cartel the experts said couldn’t exist.

Huge factory ships are taking the Krill in Antarctica that whales, penguins, seals and seabirds depend on to survive
Krill is used to feed farmed fish and for Omega-3 supplements and pet food
BAN KRILL PRODUCTS NOW and do not buy them please insideclimatenews.org/news/0…

To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.
