“SEE?!”
EW EW EW EW EW NO EW Tell me ChatGPT wrote your book without telling me ChatGPT wrote your book.
Oh, so that’s what I’ve been doing. 📚 💙📚 #booksky
She looks like she's having a terrible go of it in an outhouse and then, to make matters worse, a bunch of nosy, pervy shells just showed up.
#RadicalizedByMartha
Director Chris Columbus recently said he prefers Home Alone 2 for the same reason. I feel vindicated.
Alert! Alert! HAMNET trailer is out! I repeat: the HAMNET trailer is out! 🎥 #costumedrama #perioddrama #hamnet #shakespeare #historicalfiction
I continue to be fascinated by the hyper-masculine marketing of everyday products.
Lovely. Thank you so much for the intel, much appreciated!
Thank you for the info!! Much appreciated. I’m very out of the indie pub loop these days. The video I saw earlier said the test pool seems far more open than what Audible is claiming but I haven’t had a chance to dig any deeper.
“Yeah, gen AI uses resources but not as much as a human does so it’s fine!” … … … … …Are you fking with me?
Just learned about Audible’s new streaming service for audiobooks. Does anyone know if my existing audiobooks (which are exclusive to Audible) will be pulled into that pool of audiobooks automatically? Because I really freaking hope not. #WriterSky #AuthorSky #WritingCommunity #WritersCommunity
I made the same face as this Temu Mr. Darcy as soon as I saw him. wtf even. #JaneAusten
Yeah, that’s really not bad. Underwear get worn a lot.
I mean…
My first ever #miniature! 1/12th scale using polymer clay and acrylic paint. 🧶
The weaker and sicker he feels, the more spectacles of power and control he’s going to create.
Sure was! 2001-2006!
Absolutely not. I mean, I haven’t trusted him since learning he was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Seriously tho. Cory Booker? Hell, I’d even take Buttigieg, even with the sketchy Kinsey background.
Watching a chick flick
I love Libro.FM — I know purchasing from them supports my local indie bookshop (looooove that) but I’d be curious how they pay authors vs Audible.
Oh that’s very good.
Mobster with low self-esteem: “I mean, sure, I’m in A mafia but I don’t know if I’d call it THE mafia.”
"The trickle of emails is turning into a flood."
Oh honey. No.
If someone asks you a question because of your expertise and experience and you’re not sure, just say “I don’t know.” You’re ALLOWED to say you don’t know. I don’t know why so many people are afraid of saying “I don’t know.” Immediately turning to your computer and asking ChatGPT is… just sad.
lololol that is actually the example I used last night when my partner and I were joking about this.
YOU MUST ANSWER MY RIDDLES THREE! … … … WELL? CAT GOT YOUR TONGUE?
I miss the days when no law firm wanted him as a client.
This is the best product listing copy I’ve ever read
American white people: do this. The more time ICE spends chasing dead ends, the less time they have to ruin lives.
ok, the Focus Friend app by @hankgreen.bsky.social might be brilliant.
I wouldn’t be so annoyed if it was only occasional.
Stop worrying about feral pigs taking everything over. They’d probably run things better than what we got now.
If you can’t be bothered to enter a subject in your email to me, there’s a good chance I won’t be bothered to read it. 🤷♀️
I work in social media and prefer to use my own phone vs carrying a second phone. So escaping the bullshit is very difficult.
Actually, this might be my mid-life crisis. How fun!
Do you find it a challenge when you work online?
I don’t think I want to be chronically online anymore but I literally don’t know how that works.
People love it

Someone should do something about all the bad things
Despite what Big Marketing Copy will tell you, the possibilities are not, in fact, endless.
YouTube Premium is my monthly hate-spend.
My phone’s autocorrect is ableist. It won’t let me type my message in a bad accent.
The bar has never been lower.

BIG BOAT STUCK
This looks good. 🎥 But I wish they’d adapted The Chilbury Ladies' Choir by Jennifer Ryan instead. #HistoricalFiction #CostumeDramas #PeriodMovies #PeriodFilms
Mom doesn’t want me to send this @climatetown.bsky.socia video to my Rogan-loving brother. She’d rather I “keep the peace.” youtu.be/r1bMJekCiBw?...
Dune, 1965
Pachinko is my why-is-nobody-watching-this-AppleTV-show. It’s gorgeous.
Show production: All of the money Marketing: ehhhhh maybe like $24 for online ads?
Actually, it turns out that’s the show that has been displayed on the ATV home screen for ages but it doesn’t show anything about it. Please tell me it’s not just a regular ol’ investigative crime show.
Something so shockingly hateful has never before been less surprising.
How is Apple so bad at marketing their billion dollar shows? I’ve literally never heard of Smoke… and I HAVE an AppleTV.
No, just CBC. 🥲 We love them anyway.
Love these ads that come up when you pause a show.
You have more money than God. But you want incentives to do good, moral things?
Thanks for the heads up!
I just throwed up 🤢
I’m not sure it’s hilarious. I think a couple of them got so sick they ended up in the hospital.
Tinder but it’s for matching lonely men who think they’re in a relationship with ChatGPT

Also on Switch! #BookSky 💙📚
oh no, I’m listening to the end of an audiobook at work and I think I’m going to cry, oh no
RFK Jr. backs down all the time when he gets push back, so if anyone wants to call, here's the HHS number 1-877-696-6775. I'd also call your senators/reps as well.
I just watched a video where the girl narrating said “encyclopedia” with two hard C’s. “En-klo-pee-dee-uh.” ☠️
So, um, just a quick reminder that THE UNITED STATES DOESN’T OWN THE MOON.
Some high-quality Murphs in the comments
I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt considering how much control “the talent” has in major marketing campaigns but it kind of makes more sense now.
ewwwwww Sydney Sweeney is a registered Republican. 🤮
“That’s it. I’ve quite decided. I will do the weed today.”
Today I heard a zoomer say “he does weed” and “they do weed” unironically and nothing I say will ever be funnier than that.
Thank you to the Historical Novel Society and author Clarissa Harwood for this review of CRAFTING STORIES FROM THE PAST. #HistoricalFiction #HistoricalRomance #BookSky #AuthorSky
But THEY probably generated the graphics themselves to get closer to what they wanted. Why scope out a stock photo site for slop when you can get it for free?
I don’t think those fake Spotify users are paid though, are they?
How the hell are AI-generated stock graphics making money? Part of the appeal is that they are free. Who the frig is paying for an Adobe license for AI slop? SURELY the heaps of slop on Adobe’s servers costs them more to store than the profits those graphics provide. Someone make it make sense!
Totally.
Liam Neeson and Pam Anderson being in love and smitten is really cute. I love that for both of them.
ok, it’s not as bad as I expected. I’ve run into one noticeable bug on the Switch. Decorating the hobbit house is definitely a highlight. The character design is the worst part—but I think everyone knew that going into it. The world itself is quite pretty and cute. Lots of fetch quests so far.
I think the folks who gave this game absolutely rotten reviews don’t understand just how much I have always wanted to decorate a hobbit hole.
Drives me batty.
I took tomorrow off work to play it. (The second time I booked a day off for its launch… cause delays…) I’m still going to play it but my expectations have been lowered significantly.
“It’s what we’ve always done.” is a really stupid reason to do anything.
MAYBE? Gotta say, I don’t hate that!
Reviews for #TalesOfTheShire (out today) are aggressively bad. Are we literally just not allowed to have anything good now? #cozygaming
Oh no. They’re real. bsky.app/profile/jill...

lololololol brogressive got me
“Tactical bronouns” would do the trick. Dudes love things that are marketed as “tactical.”
I’m sure glad Paramount gave these man-children $1.5 BILLION so they could keep making transphobic and homophobic jokes like it’s the late 90s. But sure, cancelling The Late Show was definitely a financial decision.
Delicious, delicious black holes.
