It’s forever baffling to me that their argument is “we can’t tax billionaires or they might leave and then we won’t get their taxes” like… 🧐

While you still can, if you’re asking “who’s Sinclair?” John Oliver has you covered:

Such a great event! If you missed it, you can still grab books from these fabulous authors from your favorite local indie bookstore! 💛

Thank you Baltimore Book Festival and @sfwa_inc! Such a great day with wonderful authors and moderators!

Update: we just received a statement from Macmillan/Tor taking full responsibility for failing to register copyright, promising to make us whole and pay us any settlement money we lost out on due to that error, and promising to find & correct the lapses that caused this.

Every pub should do this.

Hello Baltimore! I’ll be at the Baltimore Book Festival on Saturday so come on by and say hello!

Bluesky had saved posts now!?! Oh I am HERE

LET THE LAWSUITS COMMENCE

It wouldn’t be the worst or weirdest thing they’ve done… this week. I dunno. Everything is a mess.

I’m not a tech person so this may be bonkers but hey, it’s 2025 and a posse of evil morons and AI tech bro billionaires are actively dismantling an entire democracy and pillaging the databases it relies on, so I have to ask at least

I realize the most likely scenario is the obvious one (a bunch of publishers dropped the ball on filing) but is there any chance the 💩 DOGE AI that put our SS numbers online and deleted references to the Enola Gay (bc gay) from gov websites could’ve also deleted a bunch of book copyrights? 😅

I’ve been neglecting BlueSky (because I can’t figure out how to save posts and that’s 98% of my social media usage) but I’m going to try harder bc the other sites are… well, owned by evil overlords

Hey trad authors, you may want to check and be sure your publisher filed your copyright because a lot of us are learning the hard way: copyright.gov

Getting the impression from friends that quite a lot of imprints are going to return from the long weekend to extra emails, that’s for sure 😭

if "bigballs attacked by two 15 year olds" is our Reichstag fire then i officially declare an end to history because we don't want anybody reading that shit later

nobody wants to seem gullible and it’s turned into this pathological inability to simply enjoy a good old fashioned passion play of dipshits

It’s exhausting to watch so many excellent authors struggling for visibility with great books they worked really hard on and wrote with care and responsibility as a constant cycle of rage bait shoots to the top of the lists every time

I would like to remind people yet again that when you buy a controversial book just to hate read it (see: “I’m reading it so you don’t have to!” all over social media) all you’re doing is proving that controversy= money. If you DON’t want more books like that to be published THEN STOP BUYING THEM

i mean we all *knew* the death of culture would be a bit silly but "the most soulless rich people of all time decide autocomplete is going to be our new god" is a bit beyond the pale even for this timeline

🚨According to litigators, ICE just put a dozen men on a flight (which may have already taken off) to SOUTH SUDAN, a country on the brink of civil war, in direct defiance of a court order requiring ICE to give people an opportunity to raise objections before being sent to a country not their own.

Impossible to communicate to people that once you decide that a group more vulnerable than you can be sacrificed in the name of your own safety or interests that you have already entered into an tacit agreement that you can also be sacrificed in the interests of a group less vulnerable than you.

“If this country went bad the whole world would I go bed.” Yes, we can all see that ripple effect happening right now and it is, in fact, VERY BAD

Let him try. Give him a pilotless plane first and we’ll wait and see how it goes.

Human rights nightmares show ‘the crazies’ who wanted to abolish ICE were right | Will Bunch The nightly parade of horror stories about an American secret police proves the current system is broken beyond repair.

In Reagan's 1980s, America had just 35 undocumented immigrants behind bars. Today, nearly 48,000 sit in squalid detention, many thrown there by a mask-wearing U.S. secret police that smashes homes, cars and violates human rights

I’m a restless sleeper and I like that when I try to roll over, my weighted blankets act like someone has lovingly tackled me to hold me still and whisper “Shhh… just go to sleep.”
