just saw someone call Kash Patel “J Edgar Boozer” and need to lie down

the real thing about Fahrenheit is that it tells you which temperatures are unfair. if it's 15°F out that's cold, sure. but if it's -15°F, that's unreasonable and you deserve sympathy. likewise heat above 100°F automatically makes a story pitiable. that means it's more than 100% hot.

I hate Al and I refuse to use it Peter, if you don't use Al a bunch of super rich men will lose a lot of money I already said I hated Al Harry, you don't need to sell it to me

England fans facing hugely inflated prices to get to New Jersey's MetLife Stadium for World Cup games The cost of getting the train from New York to the venue, where the Three Lions play Panama in their final group game, will be £111 - nearly 12 times the usual fare.

DON'T COME HERE.



They kidnap people off the streets & throw them in filthy holes.

They don’t care who you are.



They don't care if you're white, either, if you think that'll save you.



They have quotas.

(It’s all about money.)

THE US IS NOT SAFE.



STAY AWAY.

Feminists for ages: we are not just vaginas and baby making parts.

A trans woman enters the room.

Those same feminists: we are only vaginas and baby making parts.

Fucking clowns.

Awesome now everyone knows to never query the Hachette group ever.

Mouth too wide open to eat the avocado and its skin.

OK, also: gif running in an ad for some medical quackery at the side of my email. I know it's a quack because the gif shows a man biting into half an avocado. SKIN AND ALL.

IS THIS SUNDAY!

Sorry, I'm a bit excited.

I'm strictly a part time hobby writer and unless a miracle occurs, I'll never be able to figure out marketing and quit my day job. Moving everything to d2d has already been a learning curve. Do I need another learning curve right now?

I haven't had a chance since this was announced and also have until next March before they take that $12, so haven't made any decisions. I've earned $16 since I started going wide last summer so haven't even had a payout yet. I have too many books to use the other service on the free level.

OpenAI: We’re burning money like the Joker. A miracle needs to happen for us to turn a profit

Microsoft: Please please use our AI systems, we’re teetering on the edge here

Anthropic: I wonder what’ll kill us first: lawsuits, regulations or model collapse

Media and universities: AI is here to stay

Comfort reading some Murderbot!

FYI…

The people making money at 20books and its spinoff are the people who are teaching classes (and of course the owners). People who follow it who invite the teachers from there to talk at their local writing groups, too. (We had one guy telling us how to market who hadn't even released a book yet)

Repost if your account is a safe place for the trans community. 🏳️‍⚧️

I've made $16 in the 6 months I've been on there. Maybe I should take my books back to Amazon. Or have to upload to each publisher separately?

The hardcover of Platform Decay, art by Jaime Jones, stacked in a cardboard box with padding air bags.

Clinch cover! Beatrice and the Houseplants, by Philippa Lodge. A couple kissing in front of a tangle of foliage.

His life is TOO settled.
Hers is TOO chaotic.
But they both love Chinese takeout.
She bakes cookies and he eats them.
They would do anything for their friends.
The sex is really good.
Could this be love among the spider plants?
