My issue is that people who have seen a very limited number of old/silent films will find one that vaguely bats at feminism (or maybe doesn't bat at all) and will declare it EMPOWERING in a Baby's First Suffrage way and it's annoying.

I would like to publish a book with sufficient long-term backlist sales (word-of-mouth weirdo-to-weirdo) that it would stay on shelves for years and then I could stop writing books.

Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly. Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Look, it doesn’t matter she gave him her Nobel prize. Stockholm said there is no such thing, or giving the prize to somebody else and becoming theirs. It doesn’t matter, because it doesn’t change the fact he never earned it, he never will, and he really doesn’t have it now. He’s that fucking stupid.

I’m totally digging all these dude stand up comedians encouraging other dudes to read novels. Anthony Jeselnik seems to be leading the charge, but I see John Mulaney is talking about what he’s reading a lot too lately!

just a sizing update ...
the frozen vegetables that were 14.5oz 15 years ago and went down to 13oz 10 years ago are now 10oz.
the macaroni and cheese that was 8oz 2 years ago and went down to 7.5oz 1 year ago is now 7.25oz.
check your measurements and sizes before cooking!

As scams go, AI is on more solid ground. The idea there is to get people (most importantly industries) hooked on it before the bills come due. This is why they are so upset by "slop," they want everyone to be awed by their product and not ask questions.
