Their "customer service" is non-existent because all of their moderation is also shoved off to AI, but I still told them about themselves anyway because they need to know

If you use Pinterest, here's another GenAI bullshit feature they apply to your account without telling you that you have to opt out of.

A screenshot of Pinterest's "Refine Your Recommendations" panel in the settings that has a section "GenAI interests". These were all on when I went into my settings, but I have no GenAI interests, so they are all turned off

Celebrate the ceasefire, but don’t forget: Gaza survived on its own

Western leaders now claim credit for 'peace', but Gaza’s survival belongs to its people alone.

Oof! This is not good. Baker & Taylor is a big distributer for libraries. I don't know if there are any other distributers that can take up the slack by the end of the year. americanlibrariesmagazine.org/2025/10/08/b...

Baker & Taylor to Cease Operations | American Libraries Magazine

Despite measures to continue operations and preserve pending contracts with libraries, the book distributor Baker & Taylor will shutter.

Everything I saw from yesterday was just people's friends liking their posts, good luck sifting through all those likes to find out if there is an agent in there

It seems kind of counterintuitive to me to not be able to thread posts for pitch events so you can tell your followers to not like or repost your pitch materials. If you could put that as the first post in the thread people might actually see it

#DVPit Murder of Crows is an action adventure set in a post-second civil war America that sees our protagonist, Morrie, and a diverse cast of allies caught between a clash of the cyberpunk "dystopia" of Free America & the solar punk "utopia" of New America. Written by me, art by @sadnightcrimes.com

#DVPit Murder of Crows is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi action adventure set in the not-too-distant future. What are Morrie's secrets, and how many secrets can one man hide? Words by Devin Dixon @thewien.bsky.social and art by me! #DVArt #GN

A black and white comic page. In the first panel, a man saying "Die, you sum'bitch!" swings a machete down at Morrie, who is flat on his back. In the second panel, Morrie catches the machete in his gloved hand and replies, "Oh, I will..." In the third panel, Morrie shatters the machete and continues, "...but not today." In the final panel, Morrie swings his foot underneath the antagonist, who falls.

A cover mockup of Murder of Crows #1; a watercolor painting of Morrie's left hand holding a sandwich and his right hand over his gun. Both are resting on a history book that lies on a wooden table.

The man, the myth, the legend: Mothman

An illustration of a flying Mothman. He is airborne and has a dark body with red webbing in his wings and red antenna. His face is pale with his mouth twisted in an open scream, his eyes are wide and are red. The background is a pale pink
