Nobody wants predictive data models to stop working for the people in medicine. Or translating ancient Pompeii texts. Or the other ways we were already using it. We want it to stop replacing workers, killing the environment, and stealing from artists. Hope that clarifies.

This fucking pisses me off because old books are lovely and there are many hidden gems and instead they will be destroyed for slop

Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

NEW: I dug into the court documents in the case of Andrea Shaw, the Idaho mother charged with killing her toddlers. Shaw insists they died following a set of vaccinations. I looked at how the anti-vaccine movement insinuated itself into this case and her life. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Also Hilarious coming from the party that erased the Secret Service communications after the insurrection. “The Secret Service erased text messages from both Jan. 6 and the day before the attack on the Capitol after the DHS internal watchdog requested records of electronic communications.” NBC

I'm just boggled that Americans tend to guess that 25% of the country is Jewish and 20% is Muslim. NYC, the most Jewish city in the country, is about 10% Jewish. Minneapolis is about 10% Muslim.

“If immigration hadn't picked up my brother, my sister-in-law would still be alive, and the children wouldn't be going through this sorrow,” he said. “Unfortunately, immigration — the [U.S.] government — doesn't see that. It makes no difference to them.” www.stlpr.org/law-order/20...

This might be my favorite things David Koepp has ever written.

The most powerful man in the Texas legislature should be solving real problems — not making them up.

Our way is the old way. The man who places the order should swing the seafood mallet.

As to Haiti, remember that this is happening because Justice Sam Alito — joined by all of the Republican SCOTUS appointees — insisted that Trump's racism isn't racism. www.lawdork.com/i/203137816/...

Masked men posing as ICE agents pulled over and assaulted a woman in Oregon, leaving her hospitalized! This is the terrifying reality when law enforcement normalizes masked, paramilitary tactics—it invites armed thugs to terrorize our streets. Demand accountability! 🎥StatusCoup

Stormy Morse’s first husband died by firearm suicide. After she found a new partner, she started to worry about his growing allegiance to the NRA. Mike Spies reports on how the NRA profited from a brutal tragedy, at @thetrace.org and in this week's @newyorker.com www.thetrace.org/2026/07/gun-...

A very interesting and worthwhile thread. Seriously, the government cuts libraries, public AND school, just when cost of living makes buying books unaffordable for many families, and then sits there going 'why don't they read?' Read WHAT, you toss-weasels, YOU TOOK THEIR BOOKS AWAY.

forest service plans $10m worth of work to create fire breaks in superior national forest in minnesota. trump allows his top donor -- a self-proclaimed expert on everything -- to ixnay that funding because... reasons! superior national forest now on fire. www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2026...

Thanks - I’ll look into those when I’m in a less cynical mood. D2D is a burned bridge, as far as I’m concerned. I never even signed up with them - they took over my Smashwords account and then pulled their “fuck you indies for not selling enough books” maneuver… Appreciate the suggestions!

Thanks - I’ll give those a try. I’ve been on Kobo and Itch for years without any sales, but I’ll give that a shot. Losing the reviews on Amazon, though, and paperback access…that would seriously hurt. (Ingram Spark is giving me formatting issues.)

Part of me wants to, but I never get sales or reviews on other platforms - some of which I’ve lost access to thanks to D2D screwing over indie authors. It makes me feel like all this time I put into my writing was all for nothing.
