This is a great listen. I'm unendingly fascinated by grifters - though, arguably, the industries that enable them are most deserving of scrutiny.

But, I actually came here to laugh/cry at the algo now recommending me Raynor Winn's latest audiobook 😂

People look at me like I need a tin foil hat when I say I'd never get a Ring cam, but seriously. Stop paying your own money to install surveillance tech on your private property. Or your own body, for that matter. This was always going to happen.

Thanks to @prisonculture.bsky.social (via her critical newsletter) for reminding me of this timely poem from Wendell Berry, entitled Real Work.

Fictional villains: Society has failed me and now the only way I can save those I love is to break the law. I'm not a monster, but I'll break you to protect those I care about.

I wrote much less this year than I've written in the past five, so there's not a whole lot to revisit. This piece, though, I still think is probably the best article I've ever written, even if it was a dumb professional move to write it [free to read] www.patreon.com/posts/empero...

Could we maybe just agree that the system that creates these horrible humans (and often lets them be in charge of things) is broken? Not saying I have the perfect solution, but MORE OF THE SAME + EXTRA RACISM doesn't seem like a winner.

It's been over a month since we launched The Séance of Blake Manor & we have been blown away by the reception we have had from press & players alike.

In our latest devlog we look at what an incredible few weeks it has been: store.steampowered.com/news/app/139...

I'm struggling to articulate my feelings about this book without sounding like a creepy, sycophantic AI bot. But it's just that good and you should all read it immediately.
I wrote The House of Beauty because the beauty industry has always been a mirror, a mask, and a weapon. This book is about who profits from our insecurities—and how we reclaim our power.

Pre-orders have begun. <3

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

One of the few things that pleases me about the AI era - I AM A HACKER NOW!

And people say English Lit has no practical applications.

So, we'll bring people in to do the kind of jobs existing residents desperately want. And make life miserable for those who might fill vital roles in sectors like elder care and agriculture.

Frustrated that Alberta made it so hard to get flu and Covid shots this year. Cheered to hear that in my area, patient demand is higher than expected. Lucky to now be double jabbed, and not have to pay $140 for the privilege. (If having an autoimmune condition counts as luck?)
