I did not post a lot to Bsky about Dragon Con because I barely even checked my phone, tbh. There's a little bit about my adventures in this new blog that I somehow managed to get posted today, but also, if you want to see a lot more pics, I did spam a ton to my IG, which is under rosie.j.potter

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

One of my favorite authors. Paranormal romance folx, she was one of the very first in your genre, well before it was a genre. She helped pave the way.

The book world is a little dimmer for her light going out.

RIP, Quinn. I hope St. Germaine has whisked you away to eternal life. 💖💖

Fortune says Anthropic worth $183B after raising an addl $13B investment. The company said it plans to use the money to improve a lot of its services, but you know what it didn’t say? That it intends to use any of that money to pay back authors in its settlement re the copyright violation lawsuit.

Parallels between Trump and AI are endless. Both overpromise, underdeliver. They put people out of jobs. They lie and steal constantly. They think they know way more than they do. Both backed by techbro billionaires. Neither are any fucking good at their job. And everywhere you turn, there they are.
The AI hype bubble driving the stock market is also the Trump bubble.

Facing reality on one—“cost a lot to run, low revenue, isn’t superintelligence” or “tariffs, corruption, and chaos are real”—will make reality hit on the other.

So they’ll try to keep inflating it, and then we’re in for a crash.

Well fuck 😢😢

I hope St Germain came and whisked you away. Rest well, Quinn.
Sad to hear of the passing of author Chelsea Quinn Yarbo. Rest in Peace.
