Haunted by Poe is in my top ten albums of all time. It is a ride.

Is there any greater joy than getting your kid their first bike?
It has tassels.
It has a bell.
It has a pouch.

Ugh, I read this with no knowledge of what it was. Fell in love with the entire ensemble. Felt rage, joy, and sorrow, right along with the characters. Klune really knows how to write.

When my wife and I decided to have kids, we wanted them to have easy access to the joy of books. At age 3 my oldest has more books than I did as a teenager.
She is showing signs of being an early reader, she can already sound out words and spell three-letter words. This is the way.

The way I heard it that stuck with me was:
Diversity is everyone is invited to the dance,
Equity is everyone is allowed on the dance floor,
Inclusion is the DJ making sure to play your song.

I like your belonging example, gonna add that on.

Well, just saw the first confirmed case of #measles here on #Oahu. And here I am with a kid too young for the #vaccine. Guess we aren't leaving the house for a while.

Oh I see, so not only new AI generated material but reprints of other books. Wow, I hadn't even considered that layer.

Do you have an example of one such book? I'm very curious to see what they look like. I'll have to be sure and do plenty of research on authors when buying books from now on.

This is very much an issue. On a whim I asked ChatGPT to write a synopsis for Patrick Rothfuss' nonexistent third book and it did not hesitate and did not throw up any warnings about protected IP. It diligently spat out hundreds of words that could have come from Rothfuss himself. Very shocking.
