I will confess that I really like 13 Ghosts with Lillard and Shaloub and I don't care if it's a bad movie :) EMBRACE the 19% rating & enjoy!

Scam alert: there's an IngramSpark impersonator at ingramsparkbookpublishers dot com. Part of a wave of publishing/ghostwriting scams from Pakistan that hijack authors looking to self-publish--they often "borrow" well-known publisher names but this one also "borrows" the real IngramSpark's logo

Screenshot of IngramSpark impersonator's contact form, with chat window where scammer sales rep "Travis Clark" claims that "We are Ingram Spark's hands-on services department. You will be able to find our information here: https://www.ingramsparkbookpublishers.com/

Issue #4 postponed. Not enough subs to work with to create a full issue! Sadness, but maybe next round 🤞

Toad Shade Zine @toadshadezine.com · 6d

I just finished sending out emails letting everyone know we didn't receive enough submissions to move forward with issue 4. We may try again early next year. Thanks to everyone who sent stories and art!

this is a key point that i'm seeing a lot of casual observers miss as they call for boycotting paramount (sure, fine) & note that weiss lacks the skill to run cbs (correct.) the project is to dismantle the news media. traditional business metrics don't really apply when the goal is destruction.

Kat Tenbarge @kattenbarge.bsky.social · 5d

Installing someone like Bari Weiss as the head of a major news organization isn’t even about profit or longevity. In effect it’s about continuing to shrink the traditional news industry smaller and smaller and weaker and weaker and less and less journalism based until it ceases to exist
