Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Lots can be said about Supernatural and the impact it has had over the last 20 years, but the one thing that matters most for me will always be the people.
Will forever be grateful for every single one of you 💙
I love you and miss you and hope to meet even more of you in the future.

Do it.

Search your name.

Take their money.

It’s yours anyway.

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars.

OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

Millions of books and scientific papers are captured in the collection’s current iteration.

To be fair, this is not really my genre at all, so I would be surprised if I was over the moon about it.

It's fine... Everyone is doing a great job, but wouldn't say there's anything groundbreaking about it.
If you like the genre, go for it!

OLIVER: "Gaza is starving is a sentence that's objectively true, but it's also slightly misleading because it's too passive — Gaza is being starved by Israel."
