So that now makes Lena McDonald, KC Crowne and Rania Faris leaving ChatGPT prompts in their ‘books’.
I’m so fucking tired, guys. If you don’t write, you’re not a writer. It’s that simple. Stop doing this to your readers, who PAY.
Readers and authors deserve better than this. 📚💙

Like it's fine but I was born into the final moments of an old world that's now unimaginable to those born later and I was raised during the dawn of a new age that baffles and alarms those who came of age before it emerged. 's weird

Fred Rogers does seem to have been a genuinely decent human being and also he would probably be the first to tell you not to idolize him, but to find in yourself what is beautiful and special and hold that up to the light so that you can see it clearly, and can everyone else.

10/10 recommend deleting Facebook and Instagram from your phone and replacing them with the Libby app. Then download the genre of books you find most addictive. I'm currently tearing through Lauren Groff's "The Vaster Wilds."

Namibia: Live stream at the Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park, Namibia
YouTube video by NamibiaCam
A reminder that this live stream of a waterhole in Namibia exists. It is weirdly well maintained, constantly features a pretty huge range of animals and you learn individual creatures / family units pretty quickly. Very relaxing

Your most annoying neighbor might be trying to Karen up the school board so she can scream at queer kids and threaten teachers and your single vote could literally ruin her year and make her cry.

Impeaching Alito for this will be just like busting Capone for tax evasion and we should 100% do it.

Anti-Gerrymandering Groups Warn That Ohio’s Ballot Language Is Misleading Voters
If “yes” on Issue 1 wins, it’d create an independent redistricting process. But some voters are saying the GOP-crafted ballot summary tricked them into opposing a reform they support.
If you're in Ohio, read this before heading to vote:
The ballot language on redistricting was written with an eye to confusing ppl. I talked to someone who says it tricked them. Others have come forward to say same too. Make sure you know what you want. boltsmag.org/ohio-issue-1...

This is the funniest thing for a Supreme Court justice to get impeached for, and so absolutely perfect for Samuel Alito. Say what you will about his opinions, but he has always been likely to go down for accepting a bejeweled scepter from the most racist living member of the Bourbon dynasty.
