As if artists don't have enough to deal with, Amazon has a "Buy For Me" program in beta which is scraping indie shops for their items and putting them up on Amazon (often incorrectly), for their "AI agent" to buy from the other site. It is NOT opt in, and there is no opt out.
I just found out that our stuff is being sold on Amazon - WITHOUT our consent or any ability to opt out bc Amazon is just scraping artist’s websites and putting our shit in their search results. Again, without our permission.

NYT piece on Trump's abandonment of Ukraine is necessary reading but there are a few weird bits.
First, how do you drop the news that Kushner has done business w/Kirill Dmitriev w/o further context?
That was the barely disguised goal in Dmitriev's 2017 outreach.

It's been over a month and they still haven't fully released the Epstein files and are overly redacting what they do release because withholding exculpatory evidence is clearly what you do when you're "innocent."

Turns out elections still matter, organizing still works, and Republicans don’t automatically get whatever they want just because they say so. Congrats to Democrats in Iowa for showing up and blocking a supermajority.
BREAKING:
Democrat Renee Hardman just won a special election for the Iowa State Senate, according to the AP — a result that prevents Republicans from reclaiming a supermajority in the chamber.
