The Murdochs’ courtroom battle for control of their media empire has unfolded almost entirely in secret. But 3,000 pages of the trial record obtained by The New York Times reveal bitterness and betrayal that not even writers of “Succession” could conjure.

In a week with full of brutal work news, I’m stupidly happy to say that soon you will be able to see Flächenbrand (English: Wildfire Road) at another German theatre! Thank you for adopting my hijacking time-travelling demon baby, Germany.

I've been doom-mongering about this for a while. The liberal humanist trend in literary publishing to be anti-AI bc soul/empathy/unique (rather than theft/turbocapitalism/surveillance) leads to artisan sourdough pricing & gatekeeping. But not to more support for writers as workers.
mark my words, they're going to charge a premium for "human authored" works as soon as they think they can get away with it
At this point, they’re just fucking with us 🫠
