You're Just Going to STEAL IT?! + 3 books I loved in April
It takes a lot for me to clutch my pearls. I'm almost 40, and the world is insane. But clutch my pearls I did when, this weekend on Threads, a user I follow (@mommacusses, who is hilarious, by the way...

Free societies read freely + 5 bad-a$$ banned books
Few things on this Earth drive me to action and rage like hearing a book has been banned. I'm sure the web of psychological reasons for this would take digging up Freud himself to answer, but in any c...

I’m not sure who you THOUGHT you were following, but on this account we uplift and celebrate marginalized voices, including books written by black authors. (and that’s all year ‘round folks).

Don’t mess with @ellenlweintraub.bsky.social
Received a letter from POTUS today purporting to remove me as Commissioner and Chair of the FEC. There's a legal way to replace FEC commissioners-this isn't it. I've been so fortunate to serve the American people and stir up some good trouble along the way. That's not changing anytime soon.

Last October, Wired hired a company to run an AI search on the newsletter platform Medium (I've got my own newsletter coming, though I'm struggling between choosing Substack and Ghost).
The company reviewed 274,466 posts within a six week period at Medium, 47% of them were likely AI". Great.

I've noticed a lot of pundits saying, "Hey, if you say it wasn't a Nazi salute, do it right now on live TV" or "Take a picture of you doing it at work and post it." And most people won't do it (obviously).
Well, except actual Nazis. They're like, "Sure boo, here ya go!" 🤔
