this “chicago bail fund” and the entire network of newly registered bail funds are all scams. illinois made cash bail illegal in 2023 thanks to the incredibly hard work of many people, some of whom i know personally, so this is especially stupid

As did these "bail funds" for Boston, Seattle, and Portland.
Do you know if they are authentic?

The best book in the entire series—and I wrote one. Paul brings the noir and pulls no punches
My short noir novel, THE LOW WHITE PLAIN, in which in-love grifters hatch a fake kidnapping plot that gets out of hand during a once in a lifetime winter storm that ends up with a lot of occultist neo-Nazis and their political benefactors dying very badly is back in print today.

Hey everyone. Sorry to be asking with things the way they are , but the power steering pump is almost dead on our car and it’s going to cost around $1000 to fix. It’s an older Mazda and it’s tucked into the most awkward place ever! And it’s original to the car. IYKYK. WD-40 going to make a fortune.

I've been talking to a lot of people the last few days, and, in case there's any doubt, I want to be clear: What Down and Out Books is doing is goddamn shameful, and staining an otherwise really incredible legacy.
Question: if your publisher sends out an email stating no more payments will be issued to their authors, do you think they’ve already spent the money they owe them or they’re just keeping it for themselves? Yes, this is about Down and Out Books.
