#WritersCoffeeClub Mar 1st, What is the fundamental goal you seek to achieve with your current WIP?
To continue to earn a living as a working novelist.
Beyond that: to mercilessly mock the messianic singularity/AI religious beliefs of our tech billionaire overlords, using fiction as a weapon. And also to entertain my readers.
Really, do I need anything more? (I've got a load of contributory goals, but those are the big ones. EDIT: and to write a kick-ass sequel to the book I just delivered.)

@cstross err, you realize there is a yokai whose name more or less translates to "iron rat" (stainless steel requires some metallurgy...):

@trottelreiner @cstross Every 60 years the year of the metal rat comes around. 2020 was the last one

@bellinghman @cstross Yeah, I remember that one, I had a ticket for the "year of the rat" tour of Einstürzende Neubauten. Got postponed for reasons that escape my memory.

@newrepublic This is a great article. Everyone who says that Democrats skeptical of Israel need to suck it up and vote blue no matter who needs to read this, immediately. A party cannot win power when it does not reflect the priorities of the majority of its supporters. Democratic leaders must have a plan for Israel and Palestine that treats Palestinians as human beings with rights, and Israel as a country governed by international law. If we screw this up, we only have ourselves to blame.

@skinnylatte@hachyderm.io I've been telling people for literal years that Proton is just a big tech provider, they have deactivated accounts and removed users simply for doing things they don't like, most recently they deactivated the account of some Phrack security researchers for annoying Proton by using the email for security disclosures
Also people should read their transparency logs, they regularly give out user data before valid court orders are even approved lol
