every big AI pitch is like “what if we took away your means of survival and devalued all your skills to make stonks go up temporarily? You’d like that wouldn’t you?”

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

“The scheme provides unconditional, regular payments to eligible artists and creative workers, allowing them to focus on their practice without the pressure of commercial viability.”

“A cost-benefit analysis by Alma Economics found that for every €1 invested, society receives €1.39 in return.”

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Oh, oops, forgot to add the cover 🙈

A book cover for the audiobook of Days at the Morisaki Bookshop by Satoshi Yagisawa, translated by Eric Ozawa. It shows an illustration of the front of a Japanese bookshop, with lots of books on shelves outside, some of them with notes hanging in front of them. There are also plants and a sleeping cat. Behind the illuminated, partially see-through doors, there are the silhouettes of a man and a woman.

🍂"Days at the Morisaki Bookshop" by Satoshi Yagisawa🍂

I listened to the audiobook of this which was delightful. The atmosphere was so wonderfully bookish and perfect for the fall, so I'm really glad I decided to put this on my Fall TBR. 💪🏻

✨️"Piranesi" by Susanna Clarke✨️

I went into this fully expecting to love it as much as everyone recommending it did, but unfortunately, it fell completely flat for me. The mystery was interesting, but sadly I was very bored most of the time. 🥹 This one just wasn't for me.

Bree @mostlybree.kitrocha.com · Aug 28

I am lightly horrified by how many people have now looked up their books and found out their publishers (who often were required contractually!!!!) just... didn't register the copyrights on books. Not all of them! Just sporadically!

This is not just one publisher, I've seen all the big ones now.

Amy Jo (AJ) Cousins @ajcousins.bsky.social · Aug 28

Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬

one thing my fantasy books will never be is historically accurate. when were indoor plumbing and en suite bathrooms invented? that's none of my business. my mc in this spanish renaissance-inspired fantasy world has a toilet. they have magic and toilets. the toilets are the real magic.
