Hello #BookSky and #author friends. As host of a book livestream, I’ve been making book trailers for three years. Recently, friends have said getting a trailer done costs $$$$. It shouldn’t. If you need a trailer, let me know. I don’t use AI, I license everything. Some examples follow:

This is such a great source of information on how to fight for your rights (and for your life in many cases) with your health insurance company. Throw them a few bucks if you can.
Right now it’s NewsMatch, which means anything you donate to our show ‘till the end of the month gets TRIPLED. And we’ve been SO moved by folks who have already chipped in. Here are some of their notes.

My mother once mistook cayenne pepper for nutmeg and the sweet potato pie that year had quite the kick. A real afterburner. 😜
Ironically 10yrs later we see a posh Santa Fe NM restaurant serving almost the exact same thing, so mom was just ahead of her time.

Friday's alternate timeline
Why was President Trump so effusive in his praise for Zohran Mamdani in the oval office last week? Dave Jorgenson has a theory.

I took an Intro to Computers class in high school and they showed a Grace Hopper film. I was so stunned that a woman could 1. Be a Navy admiral & 2. Be a programmer, that I decided I too would be a programmer. Left her flowers 15yrs later to thank her. Representation matters!

Young love that lead to a life’s passion and wildly successful career. What a great origin story!
Had a huge crush on Drew Barrymore as a child (we're the same age). My parents wouldn't take me to her new movie FIRESTARTER. So my aunt bought me the book thinking I'd just look at the cover. Instead I read it cover to cover 3 times. On the 3rd read I realized I wanted to write horror for a living.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

John Oliver had masterful segment on public media and how pulling federal money hurt rural consumers legislators said they were defending, while making it more likely those stations need NPR and PBS. And he's doing a cool auction to raise money. WATCH: https://loom.ly/t7FRhXc

I understand he's a bully, that many of his followers are doxxers, that you're on Air Force One. But in 2016 I wanted Clinton to turn around at the debate and say "Stop lurking behind me, you fucking creep" and the first journo to say "What the fuck did you call me?" will be a hero forever
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

AI is like this giant fucking boat we all were forced to get on, and it's a boat they stole, and also it barely floats, and also it's not going anywhere good. So it either takes us somewhere we hate, or it fucking sinks, so either way, fuck AI.
So if AI succeeds loads of people lose their jobs as they're replaced by AI, and if AI fails, loads of people lose their jobs as the economy crashes?
It’s amazing how this story has gone from 0 to 60 in UK press. There’s been no mainstream coverage to date but this morning the story is leading BBC News site & bulletins.

I remember back in the late '90s -- when magazine writers were still getting big book and movie deals -- an editor of mine who'd worked with a bunch of them sighing and saying, "The story no one will ever publish is the exposé of which famous writers can't actually write at all."
Editors have a really hard job, and the good ones can make something unreadable readable, and the great ones can make something unreadable into something good. But they're basically invisible, until someone tries to write without one.
