I have a book chapter I wrote about this!!
More specifically, it's about how tools like web templates help conspiracists move away from traditional visual markers such as wild color templates and mismatched fonts.
Of course LLMs are making it worse.

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? (I believe in you, @kenjennings.bsky.social!)

I am not going to dive into the back and forth on piracy. I have a side, you can guess what it is.
But I will say one thing: if you get the books from your library, you're still not paying for it and the author does get compensated.

Re: previous post - People who steal art of any kind are assholes, full stop. If *you* deserve to be paid for your labor, so do I - and so does everybody else; this means writers, visual artists, musicians, and every other category of People Who Make Things.

It takes insomnia to make you realize Roadrunner could have phased through Coyote and killed him but chose not to.

I’m only on ep 2 of Beast in Me, but I really want it to be a twisted friendship of the writer and the neighbor to mirror this RBG/Scalia idea. I know I’m not getting that probably, but for the record.

Now reminded of a line in Vera Caspary's wonderful autobiography THE SECRETS OF GROWNUPS when she and a a friend tried to meet Harpo at the stage door of THE COCOANUTS but weren't let in because the card proferred by Harpo to the theater manager read "Please give these broads a good lay."
[Harpo Marx was born Adolf (later Arthur) Marx on this day in 1888. Circa HORSE FEATHERS he was handing out nude photographs of himself as a gag; one was auctioned recently for $5,760. You can see it here, but I've warned you. (Thanks Teakagee!)]

You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away and know when to run
You never count your money when you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin' when the dealing's done

Started a blog to track my journey as a writer who, for once, doesn't know the ending. Discovering my next chapter whether it be writing, Proj Mgmt, Mixology, deep-dives into forgotten women in history, or just antiquing who knows! If any of that sounds interesting, welcome... writingandwhatnot.com
