I'm with @therisingtithes.bsky.social on my shock at Wake Up Dead Man having the character of Lee Ross, a wash-up author, write a book that is 782,815 words long!
I so loved the film slipping in something that only writers will laugh at that I screenshot the scene.

French publishing house Harlequin decided to use AI translation instead of human translations.
All their freelance translators (some of whom had been working with Harlequin for +30y!!!) were told they would no longer receive work from Harlequin

I know that the old hands in Congress — many of whom are lawyers — are indoctrinated to judge nominees on the nominee’s merits, but it’s time to stop doing that. The nominee may look good in hearings, their skeletons may be reasonable, but being nominated is itself a taint.

Schiff voted to confirm yet another Trump nominee yesterday.
Trump's 18-minute-long rant from the White House was riddled with lies.
I'm breaking down the 18 worst lies — on everything from his Big Ugly Bill to his bogus inflation claims.

I'm really beginning to think that GOP legislators are not just indifferent to but actively detached from median consumer reality.
Their attitude has always been "fuck 'em," but I don't think they grasp the degree to which they're immediately fucking people, and the impact it will have

I do not understand why no one is talking about how much money is going to suddenly be missing from the consumer economy in starting in January. This is one of my...Am I Crazy....moments. Money sunk into higher insurance payments will not be spent on consumer goods, and this will happen quickly.
