One of our jobs frankly will be to push the Mamdani administration to keep its progressive promises - and to push other electeds to support him in that. So finding groups that push for stuff you want and helping them is key right now in NYC - and everywhere!

This is also how I judge the History Channel. If it’s about a topic I know, I spot at least one lie per minute watching the History Channel, so it’s horrifying to think how many lies I’d be swallowing without knowing it if I watched about a topic I don’t know.
LLM search results are even worse.

Saw an interesting piece of advice recently: ask the AI search engines for an answer in a field in which you are very knowledgeable.
The results will make it clear just how much they get wrong, and how brazen they are about it.
Now, apply that to every subject in which you are NOT an expert.

Looked up “what mobile parking app do I need for <this town>” - AI summary on Google confidently gave me the wrong answer, which I ignored because **it is wrong a third of the time, about ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING** (according to the last study I read.)
The shit just doesn’t work.

Fun Fact: I don't promote Amazon as a sales channel. I only promo my own shop.
Halfway through 2025, my sales dropped off a cliff and have not recovered.
Events and bsky posts reliably led to follow-on sales, right until Boycott Amazon... And I'm not linking to Amazon.

I'm blocking everyone who parrots "they weren't going to buy it anyway" because that used to be the case. Now, it's the Boycott Amazon people, which *everyone* said would happen bc sales dropped like a rock overnight as pirated stuff went up.

Thank you! If they're published by Tor (US or UK) or from @subpress.bsky.social, they should be DRM-free anywhere you buy them, and if they are not, I will not complain if you take measures to make them so. If you actually purchase my books, it's my opinion that you own them, period, full stop.
I love that your ebooks are DRM-free on @bookshop.org

I have had it with the justifications. The weaponization of poverty, neurodiversity, mental illness, all of it.
if you follow me and are using my RTs of authors' books to pirate books (many who are financially struggling, I might add), then frankly fuck off.
