RIP my cosy thrumed slippers. They accidentally made it into my wash and have shrunk and felted a little…. On the plus side I get to make news ones and I found a fun bunny slipper version!

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.
OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Trek friends:
Apple TV and Fandango at Home both have complete Trek seasons on sale digitally for what I assume is through Monday (Star Trek day).
TNG is $50, DS9 and VOY are both $40, TOS and Enterprise are both $25. The completed new series are as well (except for Prodigy).

Trying to decide if it’s me or my sister that is weird…. Apparently my folks ad I all know the lyrics to “Drunken Sailor” but she doesn’t…
Like when did I learn the words? And do I like sea shanties because of it or do I like it because I like sea shanties?

“We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“

Reminder no. 871: Congress can stop this insanity any time it so chooses.

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

What an incredible start to the Ashes Ascendancy campaign!
Mad props to @plaidhatgames.bsky.social for continuing to innovate in the expandable card game space. I love seeing an indie publisher rewarded with support when they take risks and make bold plays.
To another 10 years of Ashes! 🍻

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.
What will you do?

Btw if you can't get through to your senators via phone, did you know you can fax them for free from your computer or phone?
Y'all let's FAX SCHUMER. Emails can be ignored, phone lines can get jammed, and do you know annoying and attention-getting it is to get faxes? You can send them FOR FREE from whatever device you're using to read this: faxzero.com/fax_senate.php

Hi, just a reminder that when you use Libro.fm for your audiobooks, you support independent bookshops vs. large corporations that drive them out of business.
We also pay taxes. And so do indie bookshops.
