This is a story of six completely, utterly broken individuals, and the ruination of the world that comes from their hurt and sorrow. THE RADIANT KING is out today! (links below)

Cover for the book, The Radiant King: A handsome man in a black robe holding a blood-filled bowl standing in front of a stained glass window showing a broken tower in golden light.

I do not understand these words together. What does a "zero inbox" mean?

Also they thwart my quest for zero inbox which is unforgivable.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Rude
Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose.
Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

The spam bots have gained sentience and are attempting to build their own Frankenstein body of flesh. This explains the email I got earlier today asking for my liver.

I do not want to write today.

It is the great tragedy of the modern era.

Some cranky old man sweating in a suit, lamenting his job isn't like a scene out of Mad Men with him drinking himself drunk at 3 pm and still being called a genius.

The AI generated scam emails from nonexistent book groups (that try to extract some sort of fee) and phony book marketing/promotion ‘experts’, both trying to scam vulnerable authors, are out of control. The sheer number I receive daily is nuts.
AI generation makes them un-filterable.

I swear, I truly thought this was just shitty fake AI news the first time I saw it.

Devastated to see Mamdani plummet to victory with a result that shows his critics were right all along. Now is the time for the left to move towards the centre. It's time to reach across the aisle, to swing your partner, do-si-do and really lay into trans people for no reason.
