If you would like to shop small this weekend, consider indie bookshops rather than the big chains. Consider the authors themselves, even. A ton of us have signed books available on our websites.
Me for example: www.swankmotron.com/shop
(and if you're doing this, drop your link below, too)

Someone just DMed to ask why I swear so much. I won't expose them, since they seem nice-ish, but I'll answer here:
I swear because:
1. I can.
2. I have a lot to swear about.
3. I can.
4. I can.
5. Butthole

I'm not American, so I don't need to be thankful for anything today.
But I'm always thankful for aircommander #Starscream. You know, I've heard that he's the rightful leader of the Decepticons.

If you want AI, first you have to take care of your people. You have to have REPLICATORS before you get HOLODECKS, you fucking assholes.
If EVERY human is taken care of, you can pretend to make art. Your $25 entropy credits can buy 0.0003% of an AI CEO's yacht or support a real human. Easy choice.

This was a fun read. I was wondering what road it was going to take things down at several points just in terms of depicting things. Was it going to be real magic or imagined? And who benefits from what?
The characters were fun. Also, the birds being the bad-guys makes sense. Never trust a dinosaur

Writing isn’t boring!!! If you’re using AI for the parts of your writing that you find boring, WHY ARE YOU WRITING?!?!?
Literally!!! Ask yourself!!! Why are you doing this!!!!

Yea, but have you considered how this will negatively impact shareholder value?
You should think about more than just your selfish desire to not diminish your cognitive functions and suck the soul out of life.
I wish people would think more of the shareholders in their day to day lives.
