period reminder that incomprehensible piece of shit jerry falwell helped invent the evangelical objection to abortion so that they could gain enough political power to claw back gains made by Black Americans and other marginalized groups achieved during the Civil Rights era of the 1960's

Cost me $8k out of pocket to give birth, *with* insurance. $5k credit to encourage having a baby is so out of touch.

Loved Anathema by Keri Lake! Really enjoyed the horror elements along with the slow burn 🌶️📚. Any other horror romantasy recommendations? #booksky #romantasy

Something that bothers me in fantasy books - the world has no connection to our planet or history and the main character says things like "Faustian deal" and "Egyptian blue." I'm assuming the author just needed to insert more description and forgot? #booksky

if you kill your kid by not allowing them to be vaccinated you can get a full time grifter job in the anti vax movement but if a school shooter kills your kid you'll get smeared by the same people that make anti-vax child killers their heroes. the commonality is they all love it when kids die

Don't trust "AI" and also realize that the push to have "AI" in everything happened because some tech people wanted to get rich and other tech people didn't want others to get rich without them, and now they've all spent too much money on a bad product and are trying to scramble out of the hole.
Columbia Journalism Review tested eight generative AI search tools and found their answers were wrong 60% of the time, and the paid ones actually fared worse than the free ones.

Meanwhile, millions of people trust the way they present total bullshit with confident language.
AI search engines cite incorrect sources at an alarming 60% rate, study says
CJR study shows AI search services misinform users and ignore publisher exclusion requests.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

In 2019, RFK Jr visited Samoa to spread anti-vax lies, spurring a measles outbreak that led to the deaths of 83 people - mostly children.

We can’t let that tragedy repeat in Texas. The MMR vaccine is 97% effective at preventing measles. Let’s stop the spread.

Trying to get into Onyx Storm, but keep stalling out every few pages. ☹️ Doing a reread of Quicksilver instead, so good.

Is it me or is the billionaire romance trope now the most far fetched? Like we’re more likely to meet a 150 year old vampire, than a hot, kind, billionaire with a conscience 👀

First things first - I need to find #booktok on here, specifically romantasy, dark romance, RH, and a little contemporary.
