What the shit? Some AI-enabled boiler-room publisher churned out a “workbook“ around my new book. It promises to show “how Clay Risen’s book can guide you to a better life,” which it definitely does not. This IP piracy is getting out of hand.

Visited the National Museum of African-American History and Culture this weekend. Hard not to wonder what this place will look like in four years.
