WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

This is the vice chair of the Democrat caucus straight up saying that even if Dems win the midterms, they might not impeach Trump.

Yay! Can't wait for all the fandom girlies to harass authors over inaccurate details in the Al summaries like they do bad Goodreads reviews!
Can't wait for publishers to edit books to try to correct for this, applying a "second screen" mentality to books because thinking is too hard!!

While the "robot bartender falls over when the operator removed their control helmet" was kinda funny, the "it's just a person behind it" stories keep getting worse and worse.
Nothing about this is sustainable and people are suffering long-lasting harm on both sides of it.

Finally remembered it but am now going to nap cause I'm running on maybe 2.5 hours of sleep and I have a two hour educational presentation happening this afternoon
idk how my brain and/or muscle memory went from knowing my phone passcode at 6am to not knowing it at 7:30 but if it could come back to me that would be awesome

For the record, these are not bad sales, they are beyond horrendous. A debut science fiction author with a social media following of 3 people would be expected to do way better than this. This is the literary equivalent of a quarterback getting the ball and immediately scoring against his own team

You should be embarrassed for writing this dreck. It’s not up to you to decide how much antiblackness Cinnabon customers should be forced to endure because you feel sorry for some dumb white broad who couldn’t keep her racist opinions to herself. Shame on you.
Stay in your lane.

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

The left should be promoting working-class solidarity, not delighting in seeing workers summarily dismissed.

I'll say it. It's 100% tied to the series being about queer people (not all the men in the romances are gay).
Look I’m just gonna say it: it’s difficult for me to believe that this level of disrespect is not tied to this series being about gay people. I’m the first one to talk about how much privilege white ppl have in this space, but I can’t imagine this level of casual for a het book becoming a smash hit
