At least a DIY cover tells me the author cared enough to put in the work. I'll take that effort over AI book covers any day of the week.

The world doesn't need another feckless CEO eager to burn their own brand credibility because they've got AI stars in their eyes.

Inclusiveness has gone too far! (The gingerbread no longer hangs dong)

The other day I did see a cop in a minivan chasing down the dude with the super loud motorcycle that terrorizes my neighborhood, which is the first positive police development I've seen in...yeah, since 2020 at least.

I'm on board with legalization, but the amount of people who are completely blazed while driving is horrifying.
