Do indeed buy Beau's books. But not from their rancid publisher, and not from Amazon. Buy direct from Beau. That way he gets paid.

Hey, it’s #MondayReads time! Think of it like a key party, but you know, with books! Retweet this tweet and tell us what you want retweeted. Me, I’ve found out my publisher is not who they said they were. Please do not buy my books. I will receive no portion of the funds. #BookSky #PayYourAuthors

Including Colbert in the cast makes me a little more hopeful for this show, tbqh… especially if they cast him after CBS fired him

Besides all the other shit that’s been discussed ad nauseum what I hate about AI is that I have to stop and do research before liking any art online

I have never, ever heard a reader say their problem is too few books on the market.

I’ve heard MANY say there are so many that it’s hard to find *quality* reads, which is why they’re loyal to certain authors + publishers.

This “business” is solving a problem that doesn’t exist, using stolen work

Why? Who is this meant to be good for? Nobody wants your shit AI books, never mind 8,000 in a year. Just a terrible idea and a horrible road the publishing industry is heading down.
Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia.
A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

“My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese.

From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett.

The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

About a month ago, the Trump administration got rid of the de minimis exemption, whereby packages valued under $800 could slide in without import duties. Now there's a backlog as the government can't process all of this paperwork, leading to UPS just destroying packages
Business Insider headline reads: UPS is telling customers that their packages coming to the US are marked for destruction.
