This tracks from everything I've heard locally about the inner workings at that store...just sayin...
Powell's Books have new merchandise that uses AI. Workers raised concerns and were given the run-around.

That's 100% why I created leavesubstack.com -- got tired of re-hashing the points; wanted to make a simple 1-pager.

The need for these mfs on LinkedIn to be "thought leaders" is fucking exhausting. Idiots build an entire premise on bullshit, then write a "business facts-o-life" post and sit back with their hands behind their head like they just solved capitalism.

Trash.

Can we talk about #Blizzard using Black History Month to have Vendetta come to Talon & LITERALLY Mace Windu #Doomfist???

Not only is it BHM. You used another brother's death scene??? I mean, I get it. Almost no one saw Star Wars.😭

I realized that since my daughter was born (2018) about 90% of my photos are selfies of her and I. I had almost no up-to-date photos of myself. So, this past weekend, I took my tripod and LG phone camera out to the backyard to rectify the situation.

I need MFs to stop thinking evil need some excuse. Some MFs are just fucking EVIL!!! Not mentally ill, not going through menopause or on their period, not because of a fucking stroke.

They are just fucking evil. It is who they are. Fuck.

FUCK.
Bondi is clearly going through menopause. “…mood changes and "brain fog," often begin during perimenopause (mid-40s to early 50s) - along with irrational moods and temper tantrums

Remember kids... You don't have to give your info to Discord if you just stop using Discord! 😃
Anyway remember this isn’t about “protecting kids” this is about good old surveillance and elimination of anonymity.
Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

The best time to quit Substack is a year ago. The second best time is today.
If you still have a Substack: WTF is wrong with you?

I had #Highguard installed for literally 30 minutes and my teammates were already toxic and bitching at me for not knowing how to dominate. Multiplayer games might need to end already... LOL

I ABSOLUTELY chose the wrong timeline to start writing books. 😂😭
I don't see how self-publishing world survives GenAI. It's going to be an absurd increase in slop books with no reason to expect any increase in paying readers.
