People who produce AI-generated books do not like, read, or understand books. They can’t recognize quality and assume nobody else can, either.
I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.

Really enjoyed the Muppet Show revival. I love that they didn’t try to “reimagine” it, they just played it straight (which is to say, silly). More please!!!

THIS. I can’t understand why *every* elected Dem isn’t doing this.
In a purple district? Fine. Ask to inspect the local facility, and when they don’t let you in, make sure EVERY voter knows the feds don’t want them to see what’s happening in their own county.

Some people are asking what I want Schumer to do. He should be screaming over medical care and access to facilities. He should be going to detention facilities himself and putting his body on the line, as he did at the border in 2019. He should lean into stories about New Yorkers in detention. [1/4]

There’s no reforming it.
There’s no compromise.
There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.
