TIL that Charles Kushner is no longer in prison
Trump has named Charles Kushner, father of Jared Kushner, as ambassador to France. The elder Kushner once pleaded guilty to tax evasion and making illegal campaign contributions. Trump pardoned him in 2020.

“L’état, c’est moi,” as the saying goes.

Here you go, France. A nepo criminal!

Saw a bookseller weigh in on this topic and I had to share; epic fantasy as a genre in the current marketplace:

1) Traditional epic fantasy (coming of age, "farmboy fantasy," stuff in the vein of Tolkien/Robert Jordan/Brandon Sanderson) is a saturated market.

Hmmm, I wonder why the history of Volkswagen ad started in the late 40s even though they were founded in the 30s.

Yeah. Turns out the things I did in high school that mattered were drama club, speech team, and role playing games.

Just got back from Barnes & Noble on the hunt for @richardswanauthor.bsky.social 's The Trials of Empire -- can you believe they didn't have it?

Jokes on me for not pre-ordering.

This has been their business model for years. What they do in the book publishing industry is hard to swallow.

‘Destiny is a lie. Destiny is justification for atrocity. It is the means by which murderers armour themselves against reprimand. It is a word intended to stand in place of ethics, denying all moral context.’

Yeah but you know there’ll be a warning notification when you use any other brand of USB-C cable than Apple’s 💀
The iPhone 15, unveiled Tuesday, will abandon the Lightning connector that has been the method for charging iPhones for 11 years. In its place will be a different oval-shaped connector: USB-C. Here's what to know about the change.
How to Navigate Apple’s Shift From Lightning to USB-C
