I'm arguing against interest here as someone who makes his living producing various kinds of video content, but I believe if you want to think clearly about something, the written word is much more valuable than video content is.
Video is MUCH better at manipulating the audience than words.

They don't know what intersectionality means. The concept itself doesn't matter. It's a stand in for their grievances.

I love supporting @bookshop.org, but literally what is the point of paying more for shipping when it takes five days just to ship something??

It can’t be said enough that the heart of creativity is the process of creating, not the final product. It‘s the process, the struggle, the change in direction, the finding your way. That is everything. All these ppl slobbering over AI removing the process as if that can make art. It destroys it.

what they're trying to say is, UNLESS THEY ARE CHILDREN'S BOOKS, for example by authors such as Madeleine L'Engle & Questlove and SA Cosby.

Hey romancelandia and fandom peeps! If you live in the U.S. right now you should know that KOSA (along with a slew of censorship bills) are advancing through congress right now. If you care about spicy books and/or fanfiction you should contact your reps right now and tell them to vote NO on KOSA!

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

People ask me all the time if I ever would write a romance and the answer is two things:
1) i don't have people in my head!
2) seems like wasted reading time!

It’s always just so funny to me that AI using “writers“ often defend it with but how else are you meant to come up with ideas?? Like that’s what tells you that you weren’t really meant to be a writer, you have none.

The ACA isn't just "health care for people who don't have a conventional employer." It also disallows something that was incredibly common 20 years ago, which I fear is getting lost to generational memory: insurance companies could deny you health care for essentially any previous health problem.
I'm dubious about Amazon's commitment to keeping pre-existing conditions a thing of the past.
