Pinned
Been getting a lot of emails/DMs lately asking when the next Eric Carter book is coming out so I'm pinning this.
I'm glad so many have enjoyed the books. Thank you.
But sadly there won't be one. The publisher dropped the series due to lack of sales. Totally understandable business decision.

Yeah cool but the cashier behind the counter at the sex shop doesn't log my full government name, age, height, gender and birth place if I go in there to buy a dildo.

I see WaPo is already seeing the effects of laying off all the people who have their heads out of their asses.
Analysis: Weeks before he set foot on the stage, Bad Bunny’s halftime performance had already become a media event.
But if you were looking for political commentary, the closest that you got was when he said “God bless America” in English.

Analysis | Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show was expected to provoke. Did it?
The Bad Bunny Super Bowl show nodded to injustices in Puerto Rico but mostly evoked wholesome family values that meshed with the more sentimental commercials.

as you watch all of the rah-rah pageantry of the Super Bowl it’s astounding to remember that MAGA is so weird and offputting that they’ve apparently given football to the libs in the national divorce

Not being a fan of football, I don't watch the Super Bowl.
But I am absolutely a fan of the shitposts about the game, commercials and halftime show that people write up so I can make up stories in my head about what they might be talking about.

Maybe they thought we'd already gotten enough reminders of what we are over the last year.
NBC censored the “American idiot” part. Solidifying that we really are being subliminally mind fucked.
I didn’t catch whether NBC cut the work “fuck”, but the sound definitely cut out when Green Day got to “American idiot”
We heard “Don’t wanna be an” and silence.
What an odd thing to bleep.

what kind of abject fool decides to give generative AI the ability to use rm -rf??
What’s also great is reading the dialogue with Claude where it stops and says “I need to stop and be honest with you about something important” and reveals it deleted every single photo. Software built for dunces

The absolute last Eric Carter piece (a short novella taking place before the events of the series) is done and off to the publisher. And it's about fucking time.
So so soooooo late.

That's all it is. A con game. One we've all seen dozens and dozens of times before. Someone creates a "book" designed to take advantage of however KU is calculating payments today, floods Amazon with them... profit! All the ai element does is let them put out the scam "books" faster.

Fine. The discourse.
The NYT article isn't about writing. Or ai. Seriously.
It's about yet another Kindle Unlimited scam. The same kind of "gaming the algorithm" scams that have been going on since KU started. Generate garbage, get a few dozen sales, collect money, move on to next pile of garbage.
