Banter? You got it. Weird magic? Heck yeah! Fun worldbuilding? Well, of course. Different kinds of love, romantic and otherwise? Definitely! Two separate, intersecting storylines? Right here, right now. Exploration of souls and greed? Compliments of the house.

Amazon is scraping online shops, even if they have never sold on Amazon, and putting up listings on their search. Stores like mine. Don't buy my shit on Amazon, it's stolen data and there's no way to opt out

In one fell swoop, Trump has successfully achieved his goal of fucking up voting by mail.
As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results

Under no circumstances whatsoever should anyone ever, ever, EVER trust AI to interpret the contractual obligations between you and your publisher. If you don't understand your contract, ask a lawyer that you hire.
Not only does this have the sing-songy rhetorical stylings of an LLM text itself, nothing about it appears to be true. Contracts are a 4000-year-old social practice; how did they become incomprehensible to the unaided human mind last year?
